It doesn't matter how bad we played, how much we didn't deserve to win, how much u did or didn't like the team selection.
We were robbed a clear pen at the end that should of been our get out of jail free card!
So yes I do blame the ref.... The rest is imiterial...
Gonna have to disagree with you there bud. When you're 2 - 1 down against a team from the division below you, with three minutes left to play, you've played badly. Very badly in fact.
The first incident (felli's shot striking the defender's shoulder/upper arm) I'm not convinced was a penalty; had the situation been reversed and a penalty given against us in identical circumstances, I would be fuming - so I can accept the ref's call in that instance.
The second one however (Cheebs being grabbed in a bear-hug to stop him moving to the ball) was as clear a penalty as you will see this year and yes, the ref's failure to award it was a
HUGE balls-up. HOWEVER, even if he had given the pen and Jelavic had slotted it home, it would not have magically made our performance in the previous 85 minutes any less garbage.
When you find yourself relying on penalties being awarded in the last five minutes in the hope of drawing level with lower-tier opposition, you haven't played well enough to deserve to win. At least no-one got injured.
