incompetance not corruption. But you can add the fact that Bassong was having his shirt pulled (to the point that he was dragged to the ground!) on the second goal.
I don't know what happened. I clicked the submit button and nothing happened until a notice appeared saying ' server not connected ' I then couldn't get anything to move and, assuming that my computer had frozen, re-booted. When I signed on again I found that my post appeared 3 times!! Back to officials - the only thing that annoyed me last night was the Ref. A group of 17/18 year old lads playing in a televised Cup semi- final were always going to be pumped up and surely that, and the importance of the game, required a ref to administer quiet words in the ear and only producing cards as a last resort. Not according to that twat - he couldn't wait to get his cards out. The first yellow to the lad who then got sent off would have been harsh in any circumstances. Still I suppose the lads learned something last night - the standard of play might improve as you advance in the game but the standard of refereeing does'nt!!
