John Ryan - please take note.
I am sure that by now you will have seen the replay of the trip by Habib Beye on Jason Scotland.
I looked at the BBC sport website highlights and paused the video clip at the moment of contact, it is about a foot and a half OUTSIDE of the penalty area.
Two penalties awarded against us in two successive home games when both fouls were clearly outside of the box.
I hope that the FA will begin to understand your frustration at the poor decisions that go against us week after week.
As you say, how can you be reprimanded for telling the truth, the quality of refereeing it appalling.
JOHN RYAN - MORE EVIDENCE MATE.

At last we agree hound, I thought the very same, ie Beye thought he would get away with a free kick which can be defended more easily than a penalty.
I am surprised looking at the replay that we did not argue, but that might have led to yellow cards.
We have definitely been handed some rough decisions this season. They say they even out, swings and roundabouts.
Seems to me the rtoundabouts were few and far between.

You're right Hound - well outside the area and I am not altogether sure that Beye made contact - difficult to tell though.

Oh. Now you are in trouble the pair of you. JR too should see that - Yes he has been very critical and is goingto get hammered when the TRIAL gets under way.. Saturday as I read the decision of the "officials" The message was clear to JR and DRFC. "Now FK off Doncaster Rovers" from the Referees Assn. It was a kick in the knaks from them, that is very plain to see. (Better than the linesman) And as my dad used to say "Football Linesmen only run up and down half the pitch because they can Fk up that easily. No need to do the full length"

I said at the time that the trip was outside the box. If I can see this from 60 yards away, why can't the ref! I don't usually spout about the big decisions but when it comes to major ones, why are they nearly always against us.
The shot that hit the bar in the first half and bounced down may just have crossed the line, but so did the almost identical Parkin effort at Peterborough. One was awarded as a goal, one wasn't. No prizes for guessing which was which. And the less said about the Portsmouth game the better!

Here we go again and I am fed up with referees in championship.
