I felt sorry for JB, he just didn’t seem to get to grips with the conditions or the left winger…made to look like a pub player today I’m afraid. Brunt was awesome. Also, what does Akins need to do to get a referee to blow for a foul against him…Colchester were ridiculous at times. The FA have got to put and end to players feigning injury just so the Cowleys can conduct a few team talks…terrible officiating again today!
What really annoys me is the fact that at the start of the season, it was trumpeted that the new focus for referees would be time wasting and professional fouls.
At the start of the season, we saw referees adding 9 or 10 minutes and McDonald booked for kicking the ball away. Suddenly, we saw the amount of time the ball was in play rising and play acting dealt with. Fast forward seven months and we saw that excuse for a performance from the officials today.
There are so many questions about the Cowleys refusing to obey the rules over one person in the technical box, time wasting, feigning injury, tactical team talks, slowing down play etc.
I don't blame the Cowleys at all but the four officials today were not applying the rules as set out at the start of the season and should be stood down for a week
