Well I’ve just got home from the most bonkers of games at the
County Ground and it’s fair to say we didn’t get the rub of the
green from Tom Kirk today. The red card is correct, no arguments
there and Smallwood should lose the armband for that. And the
referee didn’t decide to play 7-1-1 in the second half. But all
the little calls went against us, including a clear YC for SPA
not given to Will Wright for a foul on our full back down the
left wing midway through the 2nd half.
A couple of corners were also incorrectly awarded to Swindon and
I don’t think the reaction from their players towards our centre
half after the winning goal is very sporting. Our players
certainly wouldn’t react that way.
Our captain cost us the game but in my opinion Mr Kirk cost us a
point by failing to send Harry Smith off at 4-4 for a blatant
non footballing action, forcefully barging Shepherd in the back
off the ball. He played a part in the winning goal.
It wasn’t a disastrous day at the office but he’s certainly had
better, the fact a game has ended 5-4 and people are talking
about the ref shows it wasn’t his finest hour.

I’d agree with most of your assessment from the highlights that
I’ve seen. The RC looked pretty clear cut. But the actions of
Swindon players at the end towards your centre back was very
unsportsmanlike. Did anyone get a card for that per chance?
Harry Smith is known for being a nasty piece of work in the
league anyway. There often seems to be some controversy
surrounding him one way or the other

Apologies, misclick! I definitely agree Harry Smith has a nasty
streak in him. See his red at Barrow earlier in the season.
