Hard to tell exactly what happened to Johnson but he was seething after the incident

We got away with one for their disallowed goal didn't we? That's never a foul for me. Johnson goes down way too easily, could easily have cost us. On the other hand we should have been 1-0 up before any of the goals when the ref pulled play back for a free-kick when he should've played the advantage as we were practically 1-on-1 by the time he stopped play. So swings and roundabouts really.

It was soft but the ref had been giving similar all afternoon. Woots and Horsfall both had fouls given against them on a few occasions when trying to challenge for corners etc. Yep, I know. But it's still poor to see. I'm probably being naive and it's all about 'game management' or whatever wanky name cheating/conning the ref is called these days. Just win the header and get on with it.

So swings and roundabouts really. That's totally irrelevant to this incident though. I'm not talking about referee decisions really, more Johnson's decision to throw himself to the ground with virtually no contact. I don't disagree with you btw, although we'd still have to score the one on one. But I'd hope our players wouldn't throw themselves to the ground like that.

There was two shouts close together, the first looked like we won the ball and it was outside the box. The second when that big lad went down was never a foul.

Yeah it wasn’t a foul but equally the ref seemed to give a free kick all game if ever a defender went down in the box. Regardless if they were fouled or not. At least he was consistently bad in that regard.

It didn’t look like it was a stamp but I can see it feeling like it when you’re vulnerable on the ground. Annoying really as him getting riled up and starting a melee resulted in us not being able to spring the fast counter, so he’s potentially cost us there.

In this week's edition of 'Which key moment did they forget to include this time?' we have the ref failing to play advantage when Wootton got fouled but played Hippolyte clean through. A pivotal moment for me.

He does nudge Johnson.
It's alright saying "don't go down" but he's effected his jump and he got the run and jump on him and would have scored even in Johnson has stayed up and tried to head it. Him going down has won us the free kick. You stay up, you get f*ck all there I'm afraid.
As said look at what Wootton gets penalised for and what he doesn't win his way.
If you can't beat them, join them. Johnson was right to go down.

Too much money involved in the game now for referees to be brave and give any attacking teams the benefit of any doubt whatsoever. Goals have to be 100 per cent spot on otherwise the defence gets all the benefits .
