Millers still boiling over Kettle performance.

Last updated : 21 November 2005 By Bigrich.....
It's been well documented about the referee's dire performance on Saturday which saw 3 Millers players sent off and the boss sent to the stands, and his decisions are still playing on the Millers minds.

The club today got confirmation of the players suspensions, Burton and Williamson will both recieve one match suspensions and will miss Tuesday nights LDV game against Macclesfield, while Colin Murdock will recieve a two match ban after a stright red for calling Kettle some choice words and will miss the LDV game and this Saturdays trip to Walsall.

The Millers captain has today spoke to the club's official site (themillers.co.uk) about his thoughts on the referee, "I can't help feeling a little bit aggrieved at the way things panned out last Saturday. It looked as if we would hang on for a win with only nine men and I thought we looked comfortable up to the sendings off.

"For the first time this season I though we might have a bit of luck but that wasn't to be the case following the intervention of the referee who had a very disappointing game. It was honestly the worst refereeing display I have ever seen. some of the decisions were outrageous.

"He was too keen to get the cards out while I can't deny there were a few expletives at the end of the game - I was just so frustrated as I felt we deserved a win, you just couldn't fathom what was going through the referee's head."

Meanwhile Harford who was sent to the stands for questioning the amount of injury time given, is expecting a letter from the FA, but is unrelented in his disgust at Kettles game.

Harford said, "I have been involved in professional football since I was 18 and that was the worst standard of refereeing I have ever witnessed – by all three of them. The game was absolutely spoiled by the referee who should not be allowed to officiate at any level of football. The bloke should be struck off – I'm not bothered what the FA may say. I have to take a stance for every manager who comes across referees like this."

Looking forward to Tuesday's game "We are now paper thin, Paul Evans can play tomorrow, but losing three of our regular players it's going to be tricky for us. But we'll put a team out and a team that will compete and hopefully bring us a win." Harford told Radio Sheffield today.
