I hate referees.

I really do.

In our next game against Oxford, Walker is offsides, didn't think he was. shrugs his shoulders at Referee (and head goit) Mark Cooper. Somehow booked for dissent.

Five minutes later, Walker is again off sides. trots back to position.. it's obvious he thought he was onside but hell, the assistant saw it differently.

I see Cooper running towards Walker.. and I freeze in utter disbelief.

Walker did SOMETHING apparently that was considered dissent (maybe breathing, I suppose), and out comes the second yellow.. he's off.

So 13 minutes in, we're a man down.

We manage to keep it 1-0 through the 51st minute, but apparently, Bristol Players are like Lays Potato chips for Cooper, he can't get just 1.

So Lescott makes a garden variety foul. Nothing major. Not the last man, nothing of the sort..

and Cooper shows him the straight red card.

WHAT.

THE.

FUCK!!

Every Bristol foul there seems to be a yellow card popping up. Meanwhile, Birchall gets hit from an elbow, and is down and dazed.. and nothing. NOTHING.

Somehow, we keep it 1-0.. but I am not a happy man.
