The decision making from that referee at those key moments were rank awful. To 'imagine' up an apparent push in the back for the goal and not to see that Richard Wood's contact didn't bring him down, it was his own theatrics a split second after is criminal.

That said - keep that up lads and we might be able to claw the points back - they should take great heart & belief from that performance

Difficult to fault that analysis Ex.

Football is still a contact sport despite the attempts of the powers that be to sanitise it. Any contact between Adeyemi and his marker was minimal and the defender wasn't impeded in any way. If that was a foul then any time two players jump together a foul would have to be given. It was a scandalous decision.

To give any penalty, especially one in the last minute of a level game, the ref should be absolutely sure that it is one. The way their striker went down just didn't look right. Wood never looked at him, didn't actually put a challenge in and the fall was laughably theatrical. It was another scandalous decision.

Plenty though to be positive about in our effort and organisation.

Not entirely sure Adeyemi was the one doing the pushing. Either way it was a diabolical decision, as was the penalty when Lucas Joao was  " BUNDLED OVER ". Minimal contact if any, Joao went down like he had been shot. Cheating at its worst.

Bad decision and in that one is right to feel it was the wrong decision entirely.

another strange injustice in life that one has to accept and move forward with.

we can be proud of the effort and spirit that is RUFC

I could forgive the penalty. I can't forgive the stop start "referee show", the red card or the disallowed goal.

Even Wednesday fans thought he was Bob. And he gave them all the key decisions.

His favourite word is Wibble.
