Here is the link for highlights:

I watched the game live and thought Bramall had a decent game
throughout the 90. However the same can’t be said for the
assistant Geoff Liddle who missed a clear offside for West
Brom’s equaliser.
Bramall got Mowatt’s red card correct for a dangerous challenge
on Vaulks and correctly waved away the late West Brom penalty
appeal which I think was a bit soft personally. I think the
penalty appeal was one of those that wouldn’t be overturned
either way on VAR.
The two red cards for Flint and Johnstone came after the final
whistle due to a brawl which was incited by Valerian Ismael
marching onto the pitch to complain about the late penalty
appeal. Steve Morison believes the red cards were for the
scuffle between Flint and Johnstone but if that was the case it
would appear harsh as no punches were thrown or there was
nothing too violent between the pair. I have also seen some
reports that it was for foul language which might make more
sense.
Overall, Bramall solid enough throughout the 90-got all his key
decisions correct, can’t comment too much on the two red cards
after the final whistle as don’t know for sure why they were
given and Geoff Liddle in his first season at Select Group 2
level got the offside call for the West Brom goal wrong.

Ridiculous scenes at the end of this game with the WBA manager
coming on the field to confront the referee, having to be
physically restrained from doing so.
Correct 1st red card decision for SFP. Over the top of the ball,
excessive force.
I must say, it did look like WBA were denied a pen right at the
death which sparked the shocking scenes.
All in all, this behaviour by both players and club officials
should not be happening at this level of football.

Definitely not behaviour we should be seeing.
Thomas Bramall had a decent game and was correct with the red
card to Mowatt.
However, it did look like a penalty at the very end. Townsend
may have gone down easily, but there was enough there for a
penalty.
He was in a good position, so not sure how it wasn't given.
Ismael's reaction at the end was appalling and I'm sure a fine
is coming.
He is one of those who blames referees for his own
shortcomings.....

Agree with the first RC, though arguable that Mowatt was fouled
in the build-up.
Even the Cardiff City manager thought that it was a WBA penalty
at the end and Mr Bramall seemed to have a decent view of it, so
on reflection he might be disappointed with that decision. No
excuse for the WBA manager's actions thereafter and he deserves
a lengthy touchline ban for that.

Trouble is is that the FA will go soft as usual. They need to
make an example of him.
As I keep saying, these unsavoury brawls are happening far to
often these days, and more regularly.
Tough action is needed.
