I didn't think the ref was that bad last night. Bar missing the most obvious foul in the world on Davies.
I didn't think it was a foul on Ebosele. There was a pass on inside but as per he dallied on it, lost the ball and rather desperately went down like he'd been shot.
Davies and their striker were both at it before the ball came in and he got the better of him.
We've lost the last 2 away games 1-0 and have had a combined 2 shots on targets in those games.
If you do that you won't win. 
We just aren't good enough.

The main reason we lost yesterday was the fact that we had only 1 shot on target. Lots of possession, pretty passing but no end product. Nothing to do with refereeing. 

We didn't score when we had the chance. Sod all to do with the ref. 

Oh Wayne....you have so much to learn about referees.
It's a bit different when you're not Man u.
I think there might be a bit of an attitude about us and just on some level it's easy for refs to not give us the rub, but I don't think there's anything going on that would be intentional or a conspiricy. It's just ? same as everyone gets.

Referees are crap in the EFL. 
Same for all teams, and all games.

I don't think MM has any interest in throwing any more money in, he probably thinks he has done his bit by coming to some sort of agreement with Gibson.

I don't agree with any of your views on the decisions, I honestly felt the ref got them all right. And I think there is a good chance you may agree if you were watching another team play. 
I just don't get what refs would gain from giving decisions against us? Because they read negative news stories? I don't see what impact that would have. All of the decisions tonight were 50/50 in my view. 

We all see it differently. I see a pattern that has evolved over the season. Doesn't matter really, theres nowt we can do about it.
 
 

The beauty of football is we all see it differently. 
I can agree with your first sentence, I too thought Morrison had a good game, and Knight has had better. 
However, Jason just doesn't stop, and had he still been on the field I think he'd have been defending that flank rather than Malcolm, and would have made a better job of it. 
I have to disagree with the last sentence, I'd didn't think it was a foul on Ebosele, and Davies was as guilty of holding as their player as their player was.
 

I understand it's frustrating to lose another game, but I think it does us a disservice to blame refs and play victim all the time. We just weren't at our best, that is it.  

I don't 

I didn’t think the players looked like they believed in themselves tonight.
Everyone is playing the safe percentage pass and hoping someone else will create the spark.
The running off the ball is woeful.
Cashin, Byrne and Morrison did okay but the rest were very average.
Cardiff were there for the taking. We were eunuchs in the harem.

Exactly that, you create your own luck. I've never been one to state that penalty decisions and fouls cost you games, as if you were good enough you wouldn't be relying on those fine margins. I think this was probably a mixture of Rooney being frustrated and looking to take the heat off his players ahead of another must win game. 

Thought the ref got most things right tonight. If CKR had scored that and the goal was disallowed many would be up in arms. 50/50 and decision went against us….

Both of them were at it, physical duel in a competitive game. Davies needed to be stronger. 

No, it wouldn't Anybody who genuinely believes there is an agenda to give Derby bad refereeing decisions really needs to grow up and get a grip. 

Yeah, too many soft free kicks given these days. I'd've expected Curtis to be stronger. Likewise, it wasn't really a foul on Ebosele at the start of the move. (Despite what Rooney is saying in the interview on Sky).
There was also the mistake, saving the throw in but giving them the ball.
We're just blaming the ref when it's our own fault. Not just the defending, we're just not creating chances.
I'm not knocking Rooney or the squad. They've been magnificent. But the squad is paper thin, they look exhausted and there just isn't the creativity there without Lawrence, Jozwiak or the players we could've bought without the embargo.

There's a referee bias from reading so much poo about us in the media in my opinion.

Oh and on rhat Cardiff breakaway where they should have scored, Ikpeazu ran straight through Curtis to stop him putting a tackle in. It was right in front of the ref, who did what refs do against Derby. 

Can't agree there's a refereeing agenda against us. Chin up mate. Think how good we could become in your next 50 years supporting DCFC.

I really don't get the blaming of the ref tonight. Davies was weak in the defending, and Festy went down too easily. That is a 50/50 decision, you could argue it either way. Being victims doesn't help. That loss is on us. 

Curtis was also pulling his shirt trying to hold him back and he managed to stick his foot out in front of Curtis and he scored.

That's just the thing though we didn't give it everything. We were good with posession but gave nothing as far as creativity or taking risks in the final third.

I think Curtis was doing the shirt pulling tbh

I really do wish Festy would stop diving, I wouldn't mind if he could actually sell it but he gives up loads of promising positions when he can stay on his feet so he can jump to the floor. Cost us there.
