Why is Bradley on ?

We've gone to a back 3 

Sibley and Bradley on...back 3 

JJ booked ...but not a booking

They're bring another defender on...attacker off. All Derby....

our next goal is coming....

Their keeper is very rattled...need to shoot on sight....

oh christ! Wilson...

Oxford look panicky at the back - Rams need to strike soon...

11th corner

gtfi

Derby's 10th corner

We just need to keep playing our game. Their keeper looks a flapper and we are more than capable if we keep our heads and play our game.

I have. Have you? I can’t see anywhere that it says the player still needs to be in complete control of the ball. Happy to be corrected if you want to show me.

The rule may be different if the ball was out of play but it wasn’t.

I don't need to. I know what the rules say and I'm an experienced ref.

Are you sure that’s what the rules say? 

Look it up. 

Ref seems keen to give soft decisions to Oxford tonight.

So if you punch someone off the ball, that’s not a red card then because the ball wasn’t involved?

That's just daft of you to deduce that from what I've said.

I don’t think the ref had any choice. Wildsmith stuck his foot out to bring the player down. The ball was running away but I’m not sure that matters.

The ball was almost out for a goal kick when the contact was made; there was no way the forward would've got the ball. Therefore no penalty.

The ball had gone. No peno

So many refs clearly have never played football.
