A great hard fought game ruined by an referee who in my opinion needs re-testing. He was so inconsistent that their right back was still on the park at the end of the game. He was on a yellow and the was pulled twice more for fowls that were worthy of a yellow but only got a talking to. Cash was given a yellow for diving, even their keeper admitted it should have been a penalty, but Mr. I'm in charge wouldn't listen. Both sides were getting so frustrated with the ref that 2 players started fighting and that brought a free for all, and resulted in two red cards.
Full marks to Staines they kept playing and earned their 3 points. It is officials like those who complain about the abuse that is hurled at them that need to question their own capabilities.
I feel better after that rant, lets hope its better tomorrow.

Totally agree Ron, a very weak performance by the referee. Stonewall penalty on Cash, right in front of us and you could hear the contact from the keeper. Ref had an excellent view of this and must have been the only person in the ground who thought it was a dive. Even Lowestoft said on their twitter it looked a penalty! As for the problems at the end this could have been stopped by the ref before it even started. He had two chances to pull this up when Afi warned him about the blocks by their number 5 leading up to the corner. How their number 2 stayed on the pitch is beyond me.
