I have to disagree with a lot of people, there was a lot of yellow cards for a relatively tame derby,but the assessor in the stands I think would of agreed with virtually all of them. As for me they were yellow cards, hardly missed a foul, but the Akinde foul ought to have been a second yellow for the Grimsby defender.
The fact it wasn’t a blood and thunder Derby doesn’t take away the fact that if he he is told by the referees association to give a yellow for a particular action,he has to do so.
I thought the red card was spot on.
