It can be particularly frustrating, when referees’ decisions seem arbitrary or biased. We know that they rely on their positioning to make calls, but if their view is obstructed, they might not see an infraction clearly. We can only assume that that was the case in the 55th minute of this important cup match because the referee was the only one in the ground who didn’t see that the home team player was clearly offside when our opponents took the lead. To compound matters, he yellow-carded our centre-half for his complaint at the decision, and gave him a second yellow 25 minutes later for an inelegant tackle on the edge of the box.

That sending off took the sting out of, what was, an evenly contested game up to then, as the home team scored their 2nd and 3rd goals in the final 10 minutes.
