    Everything

    JFH did indeed miss a couple of sitters but it shouldn't have mattered really, Palace were there for the taking. Very, very poor. There's some serious deficiencies in our side and DJ seems incapable of spotting them and sticking with his golden boys.

    RF and JFH can't play together, same as McPhail & Rae. Capaldi just can't play.

    We've taken all pace out of our game and sit too deeply inviting teams to come at us.

    I don't like criticising refs as they have a difficult job to do, certainly one I wouldn't want to do, but the ref last night was shocking. It went beyond inept, just cheating. He gave them everything, absolutely everything. I said to my mate that if they got into our box, they'd get a pen given to them. 5 minutes later he's calling me Mystic Meg - even though their guy didn't actually get into our box. He got virtually every decision wrong. It was so bad it was quite funny.

    Steve Thompson comes on to replace Ben Sherman up front and within 30 seconds is smacked in the face by the centre half. He walks away. Ref books them both.

    JFH running through on goal about to pull the trigger and is tackled around the knees from behind by the last man - a guy already booked. Free kick, no card and the ref moves the ball 5 yards further back!

    Parry plays a ball into the box and their full back displays ball control I haven't seen since Meadowlark Lemon was at his prime for the Harlem Globetrotters and the ref waves play on.

    That's just a few, there were many, many more - some subtle, some blatant.

    The ref had to have police protection at half time and full time. Says it all really. Rocketed to top spot in my all-time worst refs - ahead of Barry Knight, Mark Clattenburg, Gurnham Singh and Lester Shapter. Diabolical.

    No-one even bothered having a go at Colin either, it was all directed at the officials. He must have thought it was his birthday.

    It was so bad that Simon Jordan sitting behind me was embarrassed. Well, he went red anyway :D

    Red?

    That will just be a trick of the light, turning his Dale Winton orange (that should be an offical Dulux colour) into red

    Yes, red.

    He started as orange but when I shouted that at him, he did indeed turn red :D

    In all fairness, he laughed at it - as did the Riddler, the rest of our board and John Toshack who were sat alongside him.

    He only needed to go green to get the full traffic light effect. Better than watching fireworks.

    Rob Halsey reffed at Morecambe last night

    and had a great game, allowed play to flow, wasnt booking every time a tackle went in, kept in touch with his liners etc, a pleasure to see a decent ref doing a decent job
