....to keep Morrison on after ref amazingly didn't book him after reaching for his card late in the first half. Was there any of us at game who actually thought he would last the 90 mins if Powell kept him on? We just knew it going to hurt us
To be honest, it could've just as easily been their no. 6 that got a second yellow after the ridiculous first half refereeing. Both stayed on and for Derby, it paid off.
I had a feeling he would get sent off. He was asking for it majority of the game. BUT im still not sure I would have taken him off purely because he was on a yellow.
Agree 100% with Powell in his post match interview, you have to trust your player otherwise you'd be making a ridiculous amount of early subs each game. If he had subbed him and Dervite had a mare and cost us the game then I have a feeling that the same people critising Powell for not subbing him would be giving out about him subbing him. Hindsight is such a great thing!!!!

Ha ha - I got told off for using the h word on the other thread ( but you're 100% right!)

Back to Morrison ........... As the replay on TV showed, he was unlucky. It was not a foul, it should not have been a penaly and so he should not have received a second yellow - at least, not at that point!
well, the one good thing is that I don't believe the refs we get are cheats -just useless - so we are sure to get a few things go our way even if it is unlikely they will even up this season -simply based on the law of averages.

Might as well take off anyone who gets booked.
Can only appeal a straight red.
