Hope that your reply "put him straight" Chris !Just to give you an idea about the views of Cheltenham fans, here is a WhatsApp message I received from a Robins fan (a business colleague of mine here in Cheltenham)
""Chris... I am absolutely fuming about that second half, and it has taken me this long to look at my phone.
That was the most incompetent and biased referee that I have experienced since watching an Under 10 game with Ben playing 20+ years ago... on that occasion, half the parents took our players off the pitch at half time and took them home.I really hope today's referee takes time to watch the video of the match back and realises how bad he was. He needs to return his match fee and expenses and tender his resignation to the EFL.
Our players were kicked up in the air... no foul. We touched one of your players... not just a foul but a yellow card. He missed a blatant penalty (and had the audacity to give Jordan Thomas a booking for diving having been clattered by 2 Grecian defenders).And, I'm really not sure about your penalty (I was a long way away), but it looked like a hard shot cannoned off a Cheltenham arm at point blank range.
I agree we should have been 0-3 down after 10 minutes (for once, Mo Eisa didn't bring his shooting boots to Whaddon Road), but over the remaining 80 minutes 1-1 would have been a fair result.Oh, what's more, the referee referred an incident (I think abuse from the home crowd), but appeared to take absolutely no action against the prats from Exeter who stopped the game 3 times by throwing illegal flares onto the pitch.
Footnote: I have toned down my comments... I am normally quite supportive of referees as they have a tough job to do. I hope you are happy with your three points, but if today's game is pivotal in sending us down, my fury will reignite!
And I sincerely hope you are feeling better. Now, I'll take some time to look at the other results.""
I think it is fair to say he was mightily pi**ed off!
