Overall well done ref. Especially for having the fortitude to book the Harrogate player for diving.
Still didn't agree with Coopers booking though.

Think Coopers yellow was for an accumulation of fouls ? Harrogate had pointed this out to the ref moments before when one of theirs was booked.

CBR just too casual and slashing at that shot in the first half when Telford had a tap-in if he'd passed was criminal. He just isn't as good a footballer as he thinks he is. That shoulder injury - he hasn't, has he?

I appreciate that, but am of the opinion his yellow wasn't a foul, but shoulder to shoulder and the Harrogate player threw himself to the ground in front of Cooper, contrary to the laws of physics, as a result of contact between them.

Although the ifollow angle wasn't the best it did seem to me that the Harrogate player initiated what minimal contact there was.

Like I said …..funny how we see things differently …. That’s why being a ref is so hard ? …. Don’t you agree UTP ?

It is the sad thing is players including our own con referees it's one part of the game I hate but on the other hand if we get a pen because of it I'm first to cheer
So basically it's come to if we get them great but if it happens to us you just got to live with it

Who'd be a ref! BTW he had a very good game in my opinion I'd go as far as give him a 9
