Reckon a 1 match ban is coming0 -
Reckon so, the authorities will always back the officials in this kind of thing. Looks like the Gaffer is going to be a little light in the wallet!

Bow should fight this. He did nothing wrong. The authorities are victimising him.0

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.

Don't know what he said to the ref, but I can confirm that the ref was an absolute ####. Think he was a premier ref and reckon he thought he was above all this league one stuff.
However he was clueless, slow to give descisions and laughed a few times when people questioned his bewildering calls.

Shocking ref.
I hope they look into what sparked LB's response.0 -
Good to see the FA clamping down on this sort of thing. We can't have officials being told 'Well done', or where will it end?3

Stuff the FA and the ref ... good for you Lee, you had a valid point and weren’t afraid to make it.0

I do think refs are a bit quick to caution Bows due his reputation as a player3

I hope Lord Bowyer has words with the authorities and asks three main questions:
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?0 -
Ref loved giving out that second yellow, really wanted Bowyer to say anything back to him and he was ready to go.
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.3 -
To be fair the ref did half heart the game because it was League 1.Look at Howard Webb who did a Premier League game between Wigan and Reading after he reffed a World Cup Final.0

Bows has got it sussed. Management to get the yellow and reds instead of the players. Genius!
We need to wire up the ball boys so they can barrack from the sidelines as well.2 -

I've sat near the bench and heard the swearing and abuse directed to the officials. I know its "Industrial" language, but I was very suprised it was tolerated and not penalised (though they did seem to be carefully taking turns to "have banter" with the officials). Clearly on Saturday Bowyer overstepped the mark and got red carded, cant say im shocked, I would have thought it was inevitable
