So that's three red cards for Watts this season, and two of them have been the wrong call. Seems he's definitely got a target on his back from the referees.

We certainly ran them impressively close with 12, can't say we would have won, but as has been said, it's done now. We've been ripped off by officials too often this season.

Call it a conspiracy if you like, but I believe Liam got off because if they charged him they couldn't have not charged SOL for his assault on Marc. They're bent and we all know it.
The whole system is ridiculous though, because how can it be Sending off sufficient .....sufficient for what, when there's no mention of foul play?
Richard Silverwood just agreed that they could have said "No charge on-field decision incorrect!" At least that would have been an attempt to gain some respect back!!

So they don't charge him they're wrong, and if they charge him they're wrong. Gee.

I've been trying to get my head round that as well. It sounds like you can be sent off for accidental/unintentional contact with the head.
Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?
