    Right were two games into the new season and already SAFC have had their fair share in debatable refereeing decisions.
    First game v Liverpool, Penalty against Richardson, fair enough decision, did it deserve a red card, debatable but I think 9 out of 10 refs would have sent him off. The free kick won by Suarez which led to the Liverpool goal very debatable as Suarez threw himself to the ground all game without much help from our players.
    Second Game v Newcastle. Handball against Larsson, not given so he avoids a red card, our second lucky escape in 2 games.
    The Newcastle goal, again from a free kick given when a player is happy to go down without a lot of contact, then Bardsley gets a second yellow for a tackle the BBC commentator reckons was worth a straight red, so we miss out on a three match suspension.
    My point is that already in two games weve had enough gone for us than could have gone against us. We might not like what the ref does in most games but so far I think were ahead of the game. :smile:

    Not to mention the fact that Cattermole should have gone for 2 bookings.
