At the end of the day, if the referee had shown any consistency, they should have been down to 10, then it's a different ball game

At the end of the day, we have eleven players on the pitch that can make it a different game. Fans over focus on one the ref. Yes like players they make mistakes but not as many as fans from either side think.

They don't have to make many, but it's the impact, if Eccles hadn't have been booked, then no complaints, but he was and so should have been Hirst

I'm not disagreeing with that. But it doesn't necessarily impact on the result. Fans cling on to this notion the end result would always be different is untested .

Well obviously it does, who knows what Would have happened, he could have given him a second yellow and Ipswich may have won 5-0, but at least the referee would have been consistent in his decision making

And because Eccles had been booked he couldn't put a tackle in to block the ball from being threaded through! It's a minefield of what ifs

Them being down to 10 doesn't impact the result?

It's a bit of a strange take, isn't it? Would Ipswich still have gone on to win 3-0 with ten men for about an hour of the game?
Whether our 11 should have done better against their 11 is another argument altogether.

What is your judgement based on. Your view or the refs. Because it comes down to what the ref sees.

Let's face it VAR despite countless replays from different angles still only muddies the waters.

So why not grow a pair and get on with the game. Because that is how football has been played most of my life. The history of football is built on mistakes by player's, manager's and referees.

Why fuel Talksport with a week's worth of analytical bollocks that changes nothing.

He fucked up not sending off Hirst, and no amount of edgelording on this forum is going to change that.

KKH will probably be dropped on the back of his mistake.
Tierney won't.

Eccles was booked for shanking a shot over after the whistle so yes Hirst should have been sent off by the parameters the referee had set.

As Oggy said, if he doesn’t give Eccles a yellow, there’s not much to moan about. He did, which makes it look shambolic when he doesn’t call the second incident.

Pete we cant blame the ref for today , we were poor and comfortably beaten second half

It was a poor decision but ultimately we didnt get it and we just werent good enough

We weren't poor first half. Why not blame the ref? He booked Eccles, then didn't book Hurst? Later booked another Ipswich player. They all did the same thing, he bottled it. Even Ipswich fans are posting the same, in their forum.

I had visitors around so not fully focussed. Are we saying Hurst should have been off for dragging shot wide after he was whistle offside? Or did he blatantly kick ball away another time?

He kicked it away, after being called offside. He knew ,as well. Wasn't like he hadn't heard the whistle

We had control of game for well over 30 minutes and should have been at least one up.
