Discraseful Refereeing Performance

Last updated : 07 December 2002 By Rob Stanway
This isn't just sour grapes as even the winning manager, Gary McAllister has said that something has to be done about performances like Andy Hall from Birmingham put out today.

12 Yellow Cards and 2 sending offs in a game which wasn't dirty in the slightest.
Stoke will now suffer in two weeks time when really it was nothing but a discraseful performance from the ref rather than bad challenges from the players.

If the Football Association are going to act for the good of the game then there will be something done about it.

Tony Pulis said: "We have suffered and will suffer again two weeks down the line with suspensions.

"Gary and myself want to be constructive about this because somebody has got to do something.''
