Reckon a 1 match ban is coming
Bowyer will sit in the stand and correspond with JJ by phone.
Just don’t make me sit in a posh seat with a decent view.
Big baby snowflake referee, this is League 1 where colourful language is commonplace.
Get back to referreeing in the Premier League or wherever you came from.
However he was clueless, slow to give descisions and laughed a few times when people questioned his bewildering calls.
I hope they look into what sparked LB's response.
Why are referees so reluctant to award us the free kicks we deserve when our players are kicked and dragged from pillar to post but happy to punish us for the same (or lesser) offences?
Why does it only seem to be our players that booked for time-wasting?
Why the firkin are they still appointing to professional football matches the likes of Stroud, Kettle, and the twat who reffed the home game against Posh?
I also lip-read the "wucking fanker"s afterwards - which I'm sure in the FA's eyes will rob Bowyer of the opportunity to be hard done by for the ridiculous second booking for saying "well done".
If only the ref could get charged by the FA for warranting being called the above.
We need to wire up the ball boys so they can barrack from the sidelines as well.
