Whilst the Ref was a little whistle happy, he made all the players aware who was in charge. I was sitting close to the penalty decision, and whilst I thought it was a little iffy the Ref called it and the players have to accept that. It seemed to me that King got his booking for arguing. Surely that should have warned the others not to argue.
The first Red was a nailed on certainty, as the player knew he had had one yellow, and thought he could take the mickey as the Ref would not book him again. Got that wrong and duly walked. Made a bad tempered exit wasting as much time as possible going off.
The second Red I got the impression was also for dissent, but I called it a Red as Ricky was the last player, so obviously his attitude and language did him no favors so he walked. Without their histrionics they would have ended up with one or three points.
