"I want to give it all up", "disgraceful", "cost us £250,000"
Lovely rhetoric from such a lovely man, whose day was ruined by one person, his own player
3 minutes in, attacking position, gives the ball away, commits a late tackle, scissor challenge and correctly gets booked
Second half, in midfield, poor control, taken off him, lunges in, catches Nugent late, receives 2nd correct yellow
I trust the alleged lost income comes out of the players wages, as it certainly wasnt Moss' fault
I find Moss' style fussy at best but even I cant argue against today's decisions

I think he'll have a bit of explaining to do to the FA this week. What is a disgrace? There was a FK before the Derby goal, but was multiple phases of play beforehand. He got the Accrington Red bang on, two yellow card challenges. Got the Derby Red correct also, and was rightfully nowhere near the penalty area.

Was a lunge, albeit mistimed. Definite yellow card. Had a "premier" league referee not issued it he would have been accused of double standards/not doing his job/feeling the game is beneath him

The second yellow card is perhaps a case of which angle you look at it and of course the speed with which it happened. A fair decision though and Mr Moss was in a good position but I think two points can be made. Firstly Oliver was praised for keeping his cards in his pocket in wet conditions. But why should that be unless someone goes of their feet as a result of a slip? So we have the consistency debate even when comparing the top referees. Secondly, I have read here on this forum about the poor refereeing standards in the third and fourth tier of football so I would imagine it would be a bit of a shock for Accrington to see a good referee doing his job and what is acceptable and what you can get away with.
I saw another referee who did a good job yesterday but still upset one set of unreasonable coaches and no amount of effort on the referee's part was ever going to appease them and it appears that Mr Coleman acted likewise. End of debate. A sensible, calm discussion was never ever going to take place. Mr Coleman's comments are unnecessary - disgraceful even whatever his viewpoint. His Chairman seems a decent enough guy reading the article in the Mail yesterday - sadly Mr Coleman has set his Chairman's efforts to establish a community club and his own for that matter back a tad.

I can't believe there is even a debate about whether the red card was correct.  He's lunged at speed, got nowhere near the ball and caught the opponent.  Coleman should be taking it out on his player for making such a silly attempt at a challenge when already on a caution.

Hear hear. Not a fan of moss but both red cards clear and easy decisions!

Fair play to him if that is the case

Just watched it, came on here and very happy to see that he has apologised.

Anyones opinion on another individuals character/personality as a human being, has no relevance to their judgement of that persons abilities as a professional football manager
