Gavin Ward

I don't condone violence but if I ever see that prick in the street he'll know about it for the rest of his life.

I've never been a fan of VAR, but decisions as ludicrous as that one makes me think again.

You can't even call it debatable, he got it 100% wrong.

[Northants Pie]

The thing is @Elite_pie what the refs don't get at our level is that peoples livelihoods depend upon the outcomes of games, whereas for that clown tonight if he was stopped from ever reffing again it wouldn't make the slightest difference as he will be going into work on Monday regardless.

Sorry but the referee at Coventry/Notts County should not be let near another professional game for a very long time. Not even sure anyone appealed for the pen?

Match ratings will have to wait...... Ref nul points, a la Eurovision

I’m away at the moment and watched the game with a Coventry supporting pal in the pub, even he said we were robbed and it was never a penalty.

It was scarily unprofessional by the referee, he bottled it and gave Coventry a very silly penalty.

Two Coventry players got caught laughing, referee pointed to the spot very quickly (I swear it was before the incident) - I'm not saying Gavin Ward had been bribed but he certainly seemed very quick to even the scores up at such a late stage in the game. He shouldn't be allowed to officiate another game, least not professionally but I suspect he will go unpunished.

Let's hope it adds fire to our players bellies in order to push past this stupid decision.

it would have made a difference if it was used.

i am surprised they made a big thing about the goal line technology but did not have var.

Absolute joke of a decision but only Coventry City are laughing.I thought the City players, at times, went over the top with their in your face  protests to the ref ,especially (I think it was) Stokes.Is it the same ref for the return leg? It will be interesting if it is with a full? Meadow Lane  helping him with his decisions.

No, it's different people.
