we didn't start too badly, but ref missed the handball by Rhodes just before he scored which took the wind from our sails
the south stand lino gave corners when the ball didn't go, throws when it didn't go and no throws when it did.
Blackburn should have had a pen at 2-0 (only decision against them)
the ref gave a GK for them when it took the BIGGEST deflection I have ever seen at a football game.

Pretty sure the officials were either paid off, had their eyes painted on or were at a different game to me.

Don't believe conspiracy theories surrounding refs!!  Up in Scotland every fan has a list of refs that are blatently biased against their team, yet you will see the same names on each clubs fans lists!!!  I firmly believe refs sometimes have shit games or are simply not up to the standard of play in the Championship or whatever level they operate at!!  At the end of the day they are no different from players or managers in terms of making mistakes or finding themselves out of their depth!!

It doesn't come across well on the radio though. 
I've listened to games where commentators will say "that looked out" and play it down because they're not in the best position and it's not given so they must be wrong or they will totally ignore it.

The south stand linesman today missed offsides for both their goals, gave throws when it didn't go, corners when it didn't go, GK's when it took a HUGE deflection and FK's for naff all when Nuhiu was having his shirt ripped from his back.
The ref was slow, blew for every tiny thing, was inconsistent with fouls in aerial challenges, missed an obvious pen for B'burn, gave a corner when Westwood picked the ball up on the line and was just generally in the way.

The worrying thing is that he's not the worst ref we've had over the last 3 seasons either

Personally I don't see Semedo and Hutch playing in the same midfield.  I think McGugan has made a great difference to our attacking options and I think its no coincidence that we have scored more since he came into the team, so for me while ever Mr 442 is in charge there is only room for one of them as Barry has to play!!

Just to go back to Wereham's comment about choking, do either of you think the players choked tonight or was it tactics etc that caused us to be crap in the first half??

Bit of both 

Stevie May is slowly but surely beginning to lose the faith of the fans from what I can see.  Seen a few comments that people don't think he is up to it, would he be able to turn this around with a new manager or with a couple of decent wingers to feed off??

Needs the service, as I mentioned a few posts above. He came on and made runs but the rest either played the wrong balls or over hit everything
