Not sure about a second ref on the pitch because a video ref would sort out 90% plus of contentious issues within seconds.
Nothing frustrates fans more than games having the wrong outcome due to refereeing errors. In this case, it didn't affect the outcome here but it may affect promotion by hindering Wednesday & helping Brighton. I think the red card at Preston cost us three points because FF would have taken the penalty against QPR & we probably would have won then.
When a player admits a foul then the referee is running a risk with his whole career to ignore him & accuse a player of cheating & I suspect that we won't see this referee on a TV game again this season. Unfortunately there are only a handful of top referees and we don't get them very often.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
