Similar offences in more dangerous areas he just ignored.

For such a pressure cooker game he was certainly “miscast”
He was a bit nesh to be honest.

Some folks are wanting Icky to be beheaded for the tackle on Forestieri but not one of them is arguing about the way he tried to get Mattock booked for the first run in which was nothing and then the second when he did get Mattock booked for next to nowt.

The scissor tackle on Vaulks could have been worse and Vaulks could have easily have got him sent off for that and be assured that if it was the other way round Vaulks would have walked.

Moanng about Forestieri being sent off and comparing it to the tackle by Icky is just stupid.

Inverted feature Bruce wanted Icki red carded and then said that the fans stopped Foresetieri coming back on the pitch. If you look at their first goal and see how long the game had to be held up for the little get to get into position and that arguement flies out of the window.

The differences in the teams yesterday was that we were the better team and they scraped a point! For them to scratch about looking for moral victories throughout the match is desperate.

I would add that Bruce won't be there by the end of next season! He'll walk! He has too big a job to do and he's out dated!
