Needless to say the 'red card' incidents aren't shown.

any talking points where it concerns match officials mistakes are rarely shown. a case of sheltering them again from any abuse or even questioning their decisions. next if you do there will be a knock at your door with a fine and a banning order from the vic. most protected species since the golden eagle.

Absolutely gutted today, if the ref had done his job we would have been going to Wembley. Rotherham could have easiliy been playing with 9 men by the end of the game.

Hopefully we can sneak in via the play offs and give the poolies a deserved day out at Wembley. UTP

In agreement, I've cut a sad figure today at work - purely on the basis that the run to the semi & the performance from both players and fans deserved that Wembley date.

114 years and still no appearance at the home of football. An incredible run to the semi's and took the top seed to within 1 penalty kick of the final.

Yep in 114 years Lady Luck has been determined to keep Pools out of Wembley. Play off defeat to Wendies in Cardiff because Wembley was being rebuilt and play off win in Bristol because of the Euros. If we do somehow manage to get to Wembley via the play offs this season you can bet Putin will bomb it and we'll play at The Reynolds Arena.
