And the DaSilva tackle wasn’t a red, but it was extremely foolhardy from someone just coming back from a three match suspension for an almost identical misjudgment.
It's like a death wish from some of them lately, don't know what it is,do have suspicions though,owner related.

I wonder if we’ve got a reputation for going down easily amongst refs. A lot of these shouts have been bodily contact rather than kicks or trips.
i think there may be something in this. In my opion both Wright and EMC go down a lot and sometimes quite easily. I was annoyed with EMC at one point in the first half as they were on the attack, he didnt get the foul but stayed down to try and 'save face.' he wasnt injured and it could have cost us. I think perhaps refs are getting a bit sick of the diving so pushed them too far the other way.

Yeah, they could probably do with picking their moments a bit better.

EMC is such a physical player. I think sometimes he doesn't get decisions that he should because of that, but there are definitely also times where he goes down too easily. And if the ref is constantly waving away appeals like that it then becomes easier to wave away the penalties too.

Sky ref said both were pens that’s got to be nearly 10 this season
At this point you’d hope that the refs would recognise they keep getting it wrong and act accordingly
If you go purely on those another official has said should have been given, it probably is. Which is mental seeing as the most awarded to any team this season is 4.

We have been in our opponents box way more than any other team so that’s probably why
I get that there is a higher threshold for a penalty the two for me that were so bad was weight v Ipswich and the emc one on Saturday
I can’t get my head around then ref not giving them
Now having said that I want to see wright stay on his feet as much as he can you can’t say emc goes down easily he literally always stays on his feet
