Having attended the game, I thought Sunderland had the rub of the luck but Darren England was let down badly by both his assistants. The goal was a really poor decision - I was sat at the opposite end of the ground and about 40 rows back and could tell it was well over!
As for Mr McGrath, IMO he missed an act of violent conduct during an off the ball incodenr, advising Darren England to award a citation for what appeared to me to be a stamp!
I thought Darren England refereed the game very well. Sensible approach, tried to keep cards in his pocket for as long as he could, attempted to play advantage and always seemed in control! Definitely ready for a PL trial IMO!
