I asked him yesterday Why he made such a rash challenge so far away from Notts' area on Saturday?
Ian said: Basically, I was just a bit frustrated. I knocked the ball to far infront of me and then I just lunged at the player.I don’t really know why, I cannot really answer that. It was just a bad challenge. I was going for it and I just went for it basically.
I then asked him, As a qualified referee, would he have have sent a player off if he would have witnessed the challenge he made on Saturday?
Richo exclaimed: Definitely.It was a bad challenge to be honest.It was rather late.So yeah, the Referee done the right thing in my view.
