The worst foul in the game for me was the one when a Burton player brought Kadeem Harris down in the first half after he had gone past three opponents. To use the modern vernacular, it was a classic case of a foul which falls into the "take a yellow for the team" category. Harris was breaking free about forty yards from goal with plenty of unguarded room in front of him to run into and the foul was a cyncial one. The fussy Robinson decided it did not merit a booking and, hopefully, will have been marked down by his assessor for it - as I said on my blog, the ref wasn't the reason why it was such a poor match. but he was a big contributory factor with his inability to let the game flow.
