I agree the refereeing was questionable, but our tactics didn't do us any favours. Having the ball in play for 29 minutes of the first half, time wasting from the outset and trying to milk fouls didn't do us any favours in the ref's eyes.
When we started attacking them on the counter instead of sitting deep everything changed. And the red shite looked really vulnerable. Shoudlve stuck to that from the start.
