Justice done but should never have happened in the first place. Hope their player gets a retrospective red.

They definitely came to play for a draw and so they almost certainly could have opened it up a bit if needed.Maybe. Who knows?
Portsmouthy were very happy not to lose, that was their standpoint. Had we scored with 11 I think they would have upped it a bit.
Sometimes, something totally unexpected can add a spark that would have never been there. I think the red card being rescinded could be that and if it is the 2 points lost or otherwise maybe there will be a boost that will lead to a reaction for the rest of the season.
Let's hope so.
C'est la vie.So, having had 2 points potentially stolen from us by this appalling decision, what happens if we miss the play offs by 1 point?
The red card has been rescinded, but I'll still be sending my strongly worded complaint to the PGMOL about that ref.
I just need to take out all the swear words.
It's PGMOL and sincerely. You may also have incorrectly spelled %^*%&*%.Redacted Version
Dear PGML
About ***** Saturday. The REf was a %^*%&*% $£%^$& you made a *&^&%$*( ^*G appointing him
Your ^%**)&) sicerely
TT
No need, we know about the ref already and he made a compete tat of himself...Do they have to show their Tats.![]()
I did that and was left with the following:The red card has been rescinded, but I'll still be sending my strongly worded complaint to the PGMOL about that ref.

Basically the game should be replayed with them starting with 10 men, it's the only sensible solution now.The Pompey Roller also fouled JR to stop him from racing away into clear space. So we should have had a free kick as well. In fact two free kicks given Bees was also fouled.
Swings and roundabouts. We have won points thanks to dodgy decisions in our favour. Every team in league thinks they suffer more from poor refereeing.So, having had 2 points potentially stolen from us by this appalling decision, what happens if we miss the play offs by 1 point?
I don't know about 'complete revolutions' - he nearly started one with the part he had to play in Rhodes' sending-off ... Absolute disgrace.While they're there, Rafferty, the ex Nobber might want to explain his simulation involving 4 complete revolutions after being well enough to grab Rhodes' leg when he looked like he was getting away.
Errr - sorry, you seem to be missing the point entirely. This wasn't purely an example of 'poor refereeing' (but, yes, it was an instance of totally inept officiating, granted) the thing that really sticks in the craw is the play-acting/blatant cheating that Rafferty engaged in, in his efforts to get the referee to respond in the way that he did. It really was a demonstration of sportsmanship of the worst possible kind.Swings and roundabouts. We have won points thanks to dodgy decisions in our favour.

You see a bit less of the histrionic play acting in the Premier league since var was introduced.The Pompey player and bench need to hang their heads in shame …..cheating is rewarded in the game …the pampered premier league so called stars have a lot to answer for![]()
4 letters of apology from the referees association seems to indicate we get it worse than most.Swings and roundabouts. We have won points thanks to dodgy decisions in our favour. Every team in league thinks they suffer more from poor refereeing.
we cant inflict that kind of incompetence on sunday league.Never! That match was there for the taking with 11men.
I sit in the west and the incident was right in front of me, a terrible decision and the ref wouldn’t speak to our captain at all!
He needs to be sent back to non league football!
Gamesmanship? But yes, it was.Errr - sorry, you seem to be missing the point entirely. This wasn't purely an example of 'poor refereeing' (but, yes, it was an instance of totally inept officiating, granted) the thing that really sticks in the craw is the play-acting/blatant cheating that Rafferty engaged in, in his efforts to get the referee to respond in the way that he did.

This is more than rightfully warranted; it's was never in a month of Sunday's a red card.
Let's move on.
But, at the same time, remember how much that stadium, full of fans, drew together and lifted that team in the face of adversity and a likely whipping by the team currently at the top of the table.
See what happens when you show your team some faith? AVE IT.
Thanks for the correction, 1966_a_a_that . I had a sense my word-selection was a little off-kilter - but now that you've highlighted what should've been the correct choice, I can put the issue 'to bed'. Cos it had been gnawing at the back of my mind ...Gamesmanship? But yes, it was.
Maybe half of itShould get my Paddy Power stake back really as had Rhodes to score, and he might have done if not for this
Glad the card has been rescinded, good for Rhodes, good for us![]()
Ferk off you don't know what your talking about he's a dirty bar steward knew exactly what he was doing, oh okay maybe we got it correct after all ,we will monitor his, conduct in the future ,good call thatProbably down to the duffers at the FA being clueless.
You can imagine it
THE PANEL
Next Case - Jordan Rhodes RED card
Duffer 1: "Oh, he's a decent chap, model professional. Over 700 games, played for Blackburn Rovers (founders of our glorious league), formerly of Middlesbrough (formerly known as the marvellously named Middlesbrough Ironopolis). Now a Huddersfield Town player."
Duffer 2, "Well, my dog is a terrier, the nickname of Huddersfield don't you know old chap. So taking that into account, let's go easy on the lad. I always thought he was good enough to play for England."
Add Duffer 3 etc
Keep smiling and bringing your great positivity to the board; it's infectious.If you say so Neil.
