Not normally one to moan about this but am appalled tonight.
The ref has cost northern ireland a place in russia with 2 poor decisions
Firstly switzerland should have been down to 10 men in the openig 2 minutes after a poor challenge, personally I think it was only given a yellow as it was so early when it was a clear straight red
Secondly ref gives a penalty that was clearly not a penalty.
In a game if this magnitude that means so much the ref cant be making such obvious errors.

Awful decision. Still a second leg though Paulie, so they're not out of it just yet.0

I think everyone needs to calm down over the FIFA conspiracies... the way people are talking you would think this sort of refereeing decision has happened before with a higher ranked nation getting favouritism over the Irish
If only we could get Thierry Henry's view
