Whenever he's been down here he's been unable to keep his card in his pocket. He's a shocking referee.

I was surprised the Pompey odds rose up to 2.28

I was expecting them to stay around 2.10, which looked about the right odds for 2 equally matched teams.

The game was close, Bolton probably playing a bit better than most people thought.

I think Pompey may struggle a bit at home which has been their fortress as teams come to defend and go away very happy with a point. The crowd there have been used to their side being the underdog and the atmosphere looked a little subdued for a team flying in the league and cup who have a reputation for being very vocal. Obviously it will be different when they play the top 4 where the old model can be reinstalled.

Can't find last season's refs stats, but Rennie has dished out 11 in 2 games. An average of 2 seems very low to me, so I must have misheard.

Twas that very reason why I backed the bookings. I think there are certain refs in the Premiership who can't help themselves when it comes to booking people.
