That's three touchline sending-offs in just over a year isn't it (Mansfield and Notts County last season; Newport this). That makes our manager comfortably the worst offender for indiscipline in the first-team setup.
I'm not going to defend this in terms of 'passion' or 'will to win', nor am I going to agree with guff like 'the referee was trying to make a name for himself'. Referees' lives would be made a whole lot easier if players and coaches weren't questioning or lambasting every single decision that goes against them... maybe then their judgement calls would be consistently better too.
Yesterday's ref was not the greatest by a long chalk, but nor was he anywhere near the worst we've had in the last couple of years. And no Jules, he wasn't 'trying to make a name for himself' - referees can't do that by making decisions at League 2 games that you disagree with - they need to progress to the elite levels of the game and prove themselves over a long period of time to be consistently competent enough to handle big games.
It should also be said that as with every team up and down the country, we've also had our fair share of marginal or questionable decisions go our way this season. And like everyone else on here, I am a huge DC fan and will forever be grateful for the wonderful work he and his brother have done for our football club... I just wish he could drop some of the referee baiting he gets involved with at every match. It'll save him a few quid if he does.
