Phil Dowd was pathetic the entire game.

However, we're top of the league and still unbeaten. Would've taken a draw considering no Remy or Costa. Onwards The Chels.

Looking unbeatable at the moment. Kinda scarey tbh.

So that makes you, every Chelsea supporter, and 2 analysts then, that think it wasn't a second bookable offence? Fair point, I guess.

Lol, the first yellow card wasn't deserved either.

The cynical arm around the neck in first half deserved a penalty.

The barge in the back on the Chelsea goalkeeper deserved at minimum a yellow, maybe even a red

Yeah, and Ivan was the one marking Fellaini - no send off, no goal.

But hey, that's the way luck works, eh.

Hell, opposition scored two goals for us last week.

That said, call it for what it is, good fortune on the back of poor reffing in which the rub went mufc way.

Watching it again, you're talking nonsense.

How does it matter if it was cynical? It was a foul, in an attacking position, towards the end of the game. It was a yellow. As was the first. Come on - as far as I know defenders are not allowed to extend an arm to push an attacker of the ball. If I'm wrong; just show me to the rules that say otherwise...

Ah, and they're allowed to put their arms around their opponents necks in the box?

Di Maria dived (cynically) in the first half - the arm barely touched him.

Well, we got away with 1 point. There's no ****ing point crying over spilt milk, scouser.

First yellow card was for dissent, Ivanovic then had a few fouls, the final one was a racking up occurrence.

In hindsight, one has to wonder why he even bothered carding him again. I mean, what was it, like the 92nd minute or something? Still, a silly booking to pick up though, and he probably had just had enough of Ivanovic's ****.

It may bring into the spotlight the general quality of the refereeing so far this season which, in my opinion, leaves a lot to be desired. We've seen yellows given for straight reds, nothing given for straight reds, and reds given for nothing. Yeah, and I'll admit that Welbeck tackle on the touchline was a straight red - no denying it. I guess we've all unfairly benefitted and been disadvantaged by refs and linesman this season. Just wish there was a bit more consistency.

Probably issued a final warning for persistent fouling prior to that incident.

There's a difference between diving with your full body weight into a player, and shoving someone off with a stiff arm. "barely touched him" my hairy buttocks...
