Why didn't the ref give Harris a free kick he had the defender scared stiff, and he was all over him and dragging his shirt he should have been booked three times at least, why would he and the linesman ignore it?

Actually gave a free kick against Harris at one point.

Must be a new offence of having your shirt pulled by an opponent.

Only a free kick against you if you're a City player however!

Harris even put both his hands in the air clearly showing he wasn't pulling. Harris then gets the wrong side of the defender, gets his shirt pulled and the ref gives a foul against him.

It was a baffling performance and I think the referee needs to be dropped to the non leagues until he learns to get clear, obvious, basic decisions correct.

Happened a lot last season as well.

Very strange one this as I rate Tim Robinson as a ref.

He probably had his worst game on Saturday that I have seen.

What was bad about that decision was although Harris did pull defenders sleeve ref didn't blow for that he waited until both were having a go 20yds
down pitch then punished Harris when both at it.... but guess it's this new play advantage for couple minutes before blowing up that is creeping into games.. :o

I rarely moan about referee’s but this this was particularly bad.

At least Harris put himself about, got involved and tried to make things happen whilst Watters left himself isolated and didn’t have much of a clue.

He was unlucky to have had such a useless ref, he did try and had the beating of his marker everytime, and would have scored if he wasn't blatantly being pulled back!
