Col 854 Posted October 13, 2022 5 minutes ago, Ace no.5 said: Male refs never make controversial decisions? Brennan and Blodorn were excellent tonight with by far their best performances of the season around Sheffield. I was in Gorzow when a male British referee smoking a fag with his feet on a counter while being shown on the big screen in the stadium wrongly excluded Zmarzlik from a heat. Brennan & Blodorn did enough, just! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,780 Posted October 13, 2022 Ellis being gracious in defeat on social media I see. Following his team managers lead I guess. Lacks class if you can't suck it up and lose with grace. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glasgowstu 18 Posted October 13, 2022 Leaving aside the controversy, as a neutral that was two legs of phenomenal action. Edge of the seat stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daniel Smith 5,661 Posted October 13, 2022 Enjoyed that as a neutral. Close score, controversial refereeing. That aside, Sheffield can truly feel harshly done by, for me, the much better side on the night & could of / should of won comfortably. Congratulations to Belle Vue, enjoy it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
