Are you not satisfied with us losing?!
A second yellow wouldn't have been automatic though. The ref could have been well justified in his own mind giving a free without a yellow card, so you're just clouding the issue there. The main issues are that 1. either it was no foul, or advantage should have been played, so the goal should have stood (or was Marney offside in that case?) and 2. given that the ref decided it was a foul, it was a stonewall penalty and that bizarrely both ref and linesman, who were well sighted, gave it as outside the box, yards away from the site of the tackle, which was still clearly marked by the two lads lying where they fell. Amazing.
You can clearly see from the tape though that Luke Fitz expected to be sent off.![]()
