Course he didn’t, but it seems we’re not allowed to say the officials are crap these days. On Wednesday the ref was criticised by Riza (the first time he’s done that I believe) for being inconsistent in his interpretation of what was a foul. That was exactly what I was thinking watching the game and let’s not forget that he missed a clear penalty for Luton. If anything, I’d say yesterday’s ref was worse - I’ve said in another thread he wasn’t the reason we lost, but that doesn’t mean that he should not be criticised for being poor - as for the incident you mention, I thought it was an accidental collision between the two players and wouldn’t have given a foul either way.
