For the lack of character on display on at East End Park on Tuesday night, it would have been easy to fold after the red cards today. Fair play to every County player on the park today - They stood up to the challenge at a difficult venue against a good Arbroath team and were outstanding. We were the better team with eleven, ten and then nine players on the park - If we had come away from today pointless, it would have been a travesty. It’s another clean sheet on the road which is a good way to bounce back from conceding three on Tuesday night. And worth mentioning, the standard of referring in Scotland is at an all time low but that’s the worst refereeing performances seen this season from Calum Scott and linesman Alastair Mather. First of all, no complaints about the County Red cards - Kamara lunges in and Docherty’s scissor tackle are straight-forward red cards. However, despite showing no hesitancy in showing those two red cards, Arbroath ending the game with eleven players on the park is baffling. How Muirhead escapes any punishment for having Carbon pinned down on the ground with his hand around his throat directly in front of the linesman is staggering - yet Duncan is booked for just standing next to the incident? But the worst decision was Robinson not being sent off for clearly punching Docherty in the face in the melee towards the end of the game - Another incident which the referee and linesman are only a few yards away from and are both looking directly at it. Two clear incidents of violent conduct worthy of red cards - Two simple decisions and officials bottled it on both occasions.
