Before the game started, Mr Rennie strolled toward the centre circle and just before arriving, he diverted to his left to go and shake hands with Jonathan Forte. Uriah Rennie is from Sheffield and Forte is a Sheffield United player. Does anyone think that his judgement might have been affected by the presence of a Sheffield player in the opposition team
The above does not mean that he was wrong to send off the 2 Barnsley players. They showed great indiscipline and should both be fined by the club. Nevertheless, nothing winds up a competitor more than thinking you are not getting a fair rub of the green from the officials.
