Referee was abysmal - Cardiff boss Neil Harris:

Cardiff City manager Neil Harris:


Referee was abysmal - Cardiff boss Neil Harris:


"In the circumstances, playing the last 20 minutes with 10 men, a clean sheet was a resilient point. I'm really proud of the players for their backs-to-the-wall bit of defending at the end.

"I think a point was probably fair. The best chance of the game was Adam Armstrong one-on-one and Alex Smithies made a great save but a lot of the pressure was from us."

On Tomlin's red card: "I need to see the second one [yellow] from a different angle because I saw it from distance and didn't have any complaints at the time. If he's caught the player, I understand.

"The first one is never a yellow card. I thought the referee was abysmal at best, for both teams.

"But Lee is a really experienced player and should know he can't put himself in that situation with the second one."

The Cardiff boss just trying to deflect criticism after a poor start to the season. Should be much higher in the table with the squad at his disposal. Cardiff fans beginning to worry about the season ahead.

and strangely enough the ref got far less criticism on here than they normally do..

Tomlin deserved to go...no idea what was going through his mind..

I guess Tomlin is one of the highest paid, most experienced players in the squad and he should know better, he should be one of the leaders, that was petulant.

Its hard to make some calls on some of the detail as I have gone from a large screen LCD TV with sky Q in UHD to a poxy 14" chromebook on a dodgy feed. I can't recall screaming at the ref.

Regardless of whether the first yellow was justified or not, the second was a stupid challenge for Tomlin to make when he's already on a yellow.

If it was in and around our penalty area then I could understand it, to prevent a goal. But it was five yards outside Blackburn's penalty area with no danger.
