The referee was terrible.
If he saw nowt, then surely there should've been no bookings? If he
saw the stamp, the brazen and completely obvious stamp, then it is a
red card. Simple really.

Sorry but I have to resort to the Wenger defence of I didn't see it.
I was
carefully crafting 26 new referees yesterday when the game was
played and my
trips to the kitchen and bathroom have unfortunately coincided with
the
brief highlights shown on the tv since the game.
It's certainly something we old lags tell the new referees to watch
out for,
i.e. the cause of the retaliation we see, rather than the original
infringement that we sometimes miss. A caution apiece is often the
best we
can manage in such circumstances.
I would add that I'm disappointed to see comments such as the
referee being
"out of his depth" being picked up as a mantra amongst the media
(not you
Ed) on a couple of games this weekend. It's a deflecting tactic
adopted by
managers of teams who have suffered unexpected defeats or conceded
late
goals to snatch a draw (or defeat) from the jaws of victory. Shameful
really.

(Retired Ref on the list but terrorising referees now that he
assesses their
performance and tells them they are crap or not as the case may be).

Re: the stamp. Not as clear-cut as that. Watt did an old pro's trick -
looked for the defender's foot and "accidentally" trod on his toes
(being
sure to be looking elsewhere, so he could do the "oh sorry mage,
didn't see
you there..."). Hunter's reaction was to stamp heavily, Johnson
barges him,
it all goes off. Yellow cards to both is probably fair, but I'll
defer to
Brian (or any other ROTL) for an FA

Agree with most of what has already been said. Missed the stamp but
hear it
shouldve been a straight red and a pen job. The ref was clearly out
of his
depth throughout. During our 'cornerfest' of the last twenty minutes
or so
there was so much wrestling going on in their box - blatant and
ridiculous.
Also, where does he get 6 mins from? The game was stopped twice for
over
five minutes whilst the ref tried to work out what he was doing.
We were absolutely overran in the first twenty minutes but were,
overall,
the better side. The 4-5-1 system suits us better away from home.
On on on
