Viafara hopped about a bit and held his shin as though he had been badly injured. I assume that is what the referee saw and deemed Werling to have caused the injury. Then Werling did stamp about like a little schoolgirl as Simon Davey said. Personally I think it was a harsh decision and the ref should have consulted the linesman who was right on the spot.
I've a feeling that Simon Davey , his staff & the players will have given him a great deal of stick over it . It doesn't alter the fact that it seemed very harsh to give a free kick . Successful con job by Viafara ?
Just slowed it down with sky+ and There is NO WAY that Werling made any contact with the players foot or shin. He stepped across him to shield the ball and that was all. BFC should be appealing and the Saints player should be fined for cheating.
Cannot Appeal You can only have a straight red overturned and not two yellows. Wonder why Davey agreed he should have been sent off then.
Perhaps He's gone with Viafara's acting and , when he made his comments , he'd not had the benefit of seeing the replays .
I still dont know if he was booked for the challenge or the dissent If the challenge it was grossly unfair - he shouldnt even have been booked first time If the Dissent - he should have spotted that the ref wasnt giving us anything and known better that to do that. Of course one of their players elbowed JCR off the ball but right in front of the ref who seemed to see it but took no action at all
