A farcical penalty awarded on the stroke of half-time by the linesman, replays showing that the it was definitely not a penalty...the replay clearly showing no contact, it would appear that Millwall are playing 12 men, the referee appeared to be reaching for his cards to award Thomas-Moore a yellow, the linesman over-ruling him, awarding the Tranmere player a penalty instead of the card for diving. Millwall manager will be furious when he sees the replay. Tranmere are embarrassingly diving all over the place and the linesman reading it as he wants. Millwall should have had a penalty earlier in the game, the Tranmere players pushing and knocking the Millwall players all over the place in the box for a Millwall free kick.
Millwall are nervy when they get in the Tranmere box, they just need to calm their nerves and the game is theirs. Patience is the key for the Lions in the second half assuming that the linesman does his job fairly. At this stage of the season with everything that is riding on the match it is vital that the officials get the big decisions right. Shocking officiating! Lets hope they can get it right in the second half!
