       > Apparently you’re allowed to headlock strikers now! According
       to Declan and AR1 you’re allowed to! The amount of times that
       our strikers shirt was being ripped off him and nothing was
       being given was absolutely absurd. If you want his shirt then
       you can have it after the game! First KMI of the game came after
       our attacker got pulled back at the back post. I can understand
       why Declan didn’t see this as he was looking through a crowd of
       players, but no excuses for AR1 Mark Cunliffe who would’ve had a
       clear sight of it. If this was given, it would’ve been a penalty
       and red card. Crewe got given two penalties, and both were
       missed! The second penalty was very very soft with the Barnet
       defender applying he dived. You cannot really tell on the
       highlights. However, we should’ve had at least one more pen for
       handball in the box. Everyone erupted at this and I had a clear
       view of it - I said handball immediately. Throughout the whole
       game, Declan frustrated everyone in the crowd with him and his
       team being booed off at half time. He was very inconsistent with
       his foul detection as you didn’t know what was going to be
       given.

       one. However, I’ve never been too impressed when I’ve seen him
       ref myself. He was very whistle happy and was fussy to where he
       wanted free kicks etc to be taken. To add some positives, he
       added the time back second half for Barnet’s tactics and the
       amount of stoppages we had.

       “Applied that he dived” well according to the FA the Crewe
       player did and he has been banned for 2 games for simulation.

       Well at least the retrospective punishment is in action again,
       seemingly being applied more consistently now after the McCleary
       incident v Bromley a couple of weeks ago.
