Neither of those were yellows and the ref is as gullible as they come to fall for their player throwing himself down a minute after they got him booked. #$£!.

He was way too late on the second one. No need to commit to the challenge either. Absolute idiot.

Don't believe what those clowns on the radio say, they haven't got a clue what's going on most of the time.

Assistant Ref was much nearer than the Ref for the second incident and didn’t flag for it.

What game are you guys watching?! He practically headbutted the guy then took the player out heading in to the corner flag as last man

Where are you sat/stood? I'm right in front of the first and it was nothing like a headbutt. Second, the bloke ran at him, into him and threw himself down because he knew he had just been booked!

Watching on ifollow, seen the replays of the first and he didn't even look like he was looking at the ball

Not seen the second again but was a stupid challenge to make

Strange thing about trying to head the ball is you make a headbutting motion. Equally strange how Williams didn't even rub his head.

Neither was yellow.
Same old WR done by s#!t officials.
Please take Bonds off and bring on Thompson

Hopefully with the wind we will play more in their half and get some chances and get Goodwin on their CH and it’ll get evened up !!

On a positive note, two decent corners in a row delivered by Pett

Also bonds having a great half

For fu$k$ sake, 89th min equaliser 🤬🤬

So close to an important 3 points! Teams that go down often have bad disciplinary records…. how many red cards have we had this season?!

You'd have enjoyed the first 80 minutes. Last 10 I think everyone watching could see those goals coming a mile off, we just completely ran out of steam. Orient were garbage and that was the definition of a smash and grab.

We are a good competitve side in this league now but we do need to clean up the discipline (even if the decisions are often questionable) and stop scoring so many pissing own goals.

And, hopefully this won't become too much of a trend, but we've scored first in the last 3 games and only got 1 point. You take the lead in 3 straight games I think the minimum you should end up with is a win and 2 draws.

The grit , the determination , the passion, the commitment was all there . Just didn’t get the rub of the green and I thought the subs was the right time , but right ones .

The ref : about the most inept performance I have seen in the last decade . Just hope there was a refs assessor present .

Yes, I think a win and two draws would be reasonable to expect after three games in which we scored first. It's good to hear that we were competitive for eighty minutes. The situation is a little frustrating, but not hopeless.

Bottom line, for whatever reason, it was a crucial game and we blew it. If we don‘t take 3 points from this type of game we‘ll simply run out of winnable games.

Lost for words. Gutted.
Amazing second half.
Bond played well to be fair.
Well done lads.
First time I've questioned DC decision making ....Keena on. Strange....should been Bradbury surely?!
I watched Keena warm up....not great.

Good post.

For me Williams was mad to risk that second yellow when the bloke wasn't going anywhere.
He can count himself unlucky to have received that soft first one though.

Opinions hey!

We seem to be back to Bradbury not being trusted again despite not really having done much wrong. Even to the point Williams is being played ahead of him at CB.

As much as I didn't think he should have been sent off today, I thought Long would have been at CB and Ferry on the right as Williams feels like a liability there. How many times has Williams been sent off now?

Twice, if JP was correct when Tweeting this: “First red for Williams since his #ctfc debut dismissal against Wigan.”

For me, the two yellows were correct. Never give a decision to any referee. Silly from Williams.

A very damaging result. Lots to do to pick the players up for the Xmas period.

Irrespective of whether or not you think the first challenge deserved a yellow, Williams was a complete plank to give the ref a decision to make just 2 minutes later.

The first was never a yellow, the second was plain stupidity though.

Unfortunately that meant the rest of the team were running on fumes in the last 010 mins and we just couldn't get home.

It's a killer, but it's crucial we don't let today's disappointment linger. We need to use it as fuel for the Christmas games. We're good enough to stay up and we have to show it in the next few games.
