https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/66778293 I find this a very baffling decision. The fact that the game was abandoned in the 96th minute with Buxton on the verge of a 2-1 win and they have to play the full 90 all over again.

@super_ram will remember this, things have come on a little since.

I had missed this a few days back

This is something that has irritated me for years when a player immediately goes up to a referee to try and get a player booked by gesturing a card with their hands. So it was great to see the referee hand out a yellow to a player doing just that. I believe it was Julian Dicks mentioned this particular thing on That Peter Crouch Podcast.
