Did we really deserve that? Notice Man Utd did not get any fines. With the standard of reffing I feel for some of the non league clubs who have quite hefty fines..
I take it back.. We had the worst record in League 1 last season.. 101 yellow cards and 7 reds.. We were fined £5000 with another £15000 suspended based on how we progress this season. So Marc Richards, you did not help with a silly booking!
If I remember rightly though Some of the refs were excedingly card happy towards us and let the opposition get away with much more. Dont remember many the other way round though! I assume you expect the reffing to average itself out over a season but we definitely had more agaist us than favouring us (and not many genuinely neutral ones either)

I think we'd eventually sussed the league out.. previous years we had lumps kick out of us and not stood up to it. We probably gave as good as we got last year - end result quite a few bookings. I remember having a look toward the end of the season and there'd been as many bookings and sendings off in our games against us as for. I think teams thought they could do what they'd done previous seasons but were wrong.
What about Nardiello's bookings for dissent on a number of occasions last season? If I remember correctly, he almost missed out on the Play-off Final because of his poor disciplinary record - that can't have helped our cause.
I should have know it would all be Nardy's fault. What about Tommy Wright's record? Discipline wise that is...
mebbe so, but I like the fact it's okay to blame Nardiello. But let's give "Tommy" a break. He'll come good etc etc Let's give em all a break. Except Devaney
I'm an advocate of Nads but he gets himself booked for no reason which is stupid. Just like Richards did on Saturday. Lack of discipline.</p> Tommy Wright hasn't impressed me so far but he is young and he hasn't been given a run in the side so therefore the jury is out for me. </p> Devaney was poor on saturday but it's only one game. Also I think he looks better on the left cutting in.</p>
