       Didn’t watch all the game but from what I did see I think he
       missed a pretty obvious SFP offence from the Orient no 6.
       Sliding tackle from behind clearly caught Marmoush high right in
       the middle of the calf. As much as I think City players complain
       the most about little things, some of them were right to angry
       that Bond didn’t issue a red card. Thought he had a good view of
       it too

       Even with my Orient supporting hat on, I do agree that the No.6,
       Cooper was lucky not to be sent off. I thought it was a spiteful
       challenge and if the VAR had been in use, I think Darren Bond
       would have been sent to the screen to change his decision.
       I have to say, apart from that, Darren Bond controlled the game
       well and let the players play without too much hindrance.
       A proper Cup tie and my local team did themselves proud versus
       the champions of England.

       I found Bond's decision not to issue a red card to Cooper
       outrageous. It was one of the most blatant examples of serious
       foul play I've seen, especially from an unobstructed, close-up
       view.
       This egregious oversight marred what was otherwise a decent
       performance, which largely aided to the magic of the cup tie.

       Bond missing SFP again ! Clear red …. IMO he was a great
       championship ref but since making the jump maybe through lack of
       games, but his reading of incidents is poor.
