Feels like a let down but hey..a long long way to go.

If the ref had done his job, their dirty tactics wouldn't have lasted past 15 minutes, any other day they'd have either been a man down or told another tackle like that and they'd be a man down, would soon have stopped them. They then got away with constant time wasting from 60 minutes onwards with no repercussions, it was one of the most abysmal displays of refereeing I've seen and I'm not one to complain about the ref but he let them do what they did, yes our players should have been a bit tougher but they'll learn and I'd be surprised if another team ever gets away with playing like that at ER or even away from home again.
