The one that stood out for me was when Mallan committed a deliberate foul to stop us breaking, then refused to move back 10 yards for the free kick. The ref actually pulls back play to go to speak to him but then somehow decides not to show him a yellow when either act would have been enough (the refusal to move back in particular as that's pretty much an automatic yellow in any other game of football I've seen).
But a win's a win all the same. I'm happy with an 11 point gap and 10 to play, although it's a bit disconcerting that we've only scored 1 in each of our last 5 league games. Definitely need to bolster our forward options for next season if we go up, although if we get a lineup of McKay/Waghorn/O'Halloran firing on all cylinders I think opposition defences could have a hard time of it.
