Kemp’s yellow card
Views: 518
Was it justified or did the keeper just wet his knickers and overreact?
Couldn’t see clearly from where I was.

Happened right in front of us, it was literally 50/50 as the keeper got his hands to the ball, kemp got his foot on the ball, no contact with the keeper!
The ref didn’t give it and the Lino couldn’t see it properly as a defender was in the way!
I didn’t think it was a foul at all, most people round us didn’t, but if it had been someone challenging our keeper I think most people would have wanted a foul, I wouldn’t have as I think keepers get too much protection!
The irony of the away fans singing soft southern bastards when it was their players moaning was quite amusing too

Northerners going on about being from the north? That's unusual!

The ref was a prick. All game long.

He was indeed dreadful. Books Kempy, then lets them get away with bad fouls, including one on Butler. And once players think they can get away with it, it becomes a free for all. Thought he was very inconsistent, and weak. Missed a penalty for them (So no complaints there). He gave free kicks for completely innocuous tackles, and ignored blatant fouls.

The referee was really strange. He didn’t particularly seem to favour either side, he just seemed very reluctant to make a decision.
He didn’t particularly seem well to see the extremely blatant dive by their striker but didn’t book him which was very odd. The linesman wasn’t any better. He gave a throw to Rotherham when the ball very clearly came off their player about 2 feet in front of him.
The officials had no authority whatsoever which was why the game became more & more niggly. When he didn’t particularly seem finally book one of theirs, just before the goal, it was for an extremely late challenge & the player had no chance of getting the ball but he then spent ages shouting at the referee who did nothing about it!
Very strange officiating

All I saw was the keeper come out and gather the ball and go into Kemp who fell over him. Then they reacted, presumably thought Kemp did something to the keeper, and Kemp got booked for what looked like getting taken down initially (fairly) and then getting started on by the keeper and defence!

Anyone would panic seeing Big Kempy bearing down on them.
