I'm not sure if it's been mentioned on here but I thought he was going to be sent off. I've not seen a more blatant over the top tackle at barnsley for a fair while right under the refs nose than that one in the first half. I can't stand brown and he has got previous with butterfield a couple of seasons ago. Weak ref for me let them get away with dirty tactics all game.
He'ava vile horrible player. Weak like you say from the ref, was Brown already on a yellow at the time, can't remember.
Today needed a strong ref and he was hopeless. Leeds got in front and then just killed the game, deliberately slowing things down, breaking up play and not allowing any flow or rhythm at all. Cynical fouls, time wasting, taking a dive, chatting up the ref - all typical Leeds tactics and he let them get away with it. Having said that they were stronger than us and we weren't good enough to mount any kind of challenge in the second half...
Very weak ref - their number 18 was spoken to 3 times, every one was worthy of a booking. Cynical, cheating scum - any time we looked to break they just dragged the player back.
Even Leeds fans told me they thought Brown should have had a straight red, so what was the ref thinking?
He could quite easily have broken a leg with that challenge nowhere near the ball and at the time I was absolutely raging about the decision to only give a yellow but not as mad as when he ran across and kicked Dawson in the stomach and the ref waved play on....
