I think it was probably the amount of possession that we gave them in penalties that ultimately meant we didn't get enough time near their line in the second half. From the beginning of the second half (wasn't counting the first) we were 7-1 down in penalties at one stage. I know you favour the ill discipline and ineptitude line which is fair enough - what I would say is that had penalties been given for the same offences more evenly we would have had better field position and won the game. A different opinion but that's my take on it.
Without seeing replays it's impossible to say, however I'd be willing to bet that if we did then most of his decisions would probably be right. What you would also likely find though is that he wasn't applying the rules consistently which is where a lot of the problems lie. Fact is he was being pedantic and we should have given him no opportunity to ping us time and time again
