Sav winds Elliot up after he's sent off

Despite the fact the game finished a few hours ago, we think upon quiet reflection it would probably be best not to write to much about Mr Riley until we've slept on it.

Otherwise we may find ourselves taking a quick ride into the ghetto and purchasing an AK47 and taking a quick spin up the M1 to sunny West Yorkshire to pay one of the premiership's best referees a Christmas visit.

What do you need to know about the game this week?

Brum played like we do, but harder and faster and got stuck into us, stopping us playing. Sav was a dirty cheating vicious git the minute they kicked off, nearly breaking Andrew Impey's legs and not even getting booked for it. Riley totally lost control of the game from that point. We got bookings and sendings off; they didn't. Usual Riley preformance against Leicester.

Elliot went in as he does leading with his arm, and was straight off for it. Sav would him up on the way. Not clever.

They went and cut through us like butter and scored.

Micky got a bit tense and had words as Mr Riley was escorted from the picth. Birch presented Lynex with the now legendary, er, thingy they get, and a crap brass band played Christmas carols.

Micky has a quiet word in Riley's shell-like

Birch came back out to tell us Micky had now been sent off and to get behind the lads. We tried. Unfortunately Ian Walker decided to get himself onto the next edition of David Seaman's goalkeeping gaffs video and managed to clear the ball outside the area into his own man and then roll on it as it fell to a Brum player. Red card for handling outside the box.

Going well at this stage eh?

They went and cut through us like butter and scored.

But considering we were dow to 9 men and no manager and everyone was absolutely shattered and hurting, the lads did well to keep it to 2-0 and the fans knew it was just one of those days thanks to some dreadful refereeing by Riley. How can he be allowed to ref Leiecster games when he is soooo clearly biased against us regardless of who we play?

Man of the Match - Mike Riley...how could you miss him
