If that had been Morrell he'd have been carded for sure. Some of the old Refs used to say keep your notebook in your pocket in the 1st half, get it out in the 2nd. He did book Reeco admittedly before half time but I thought of that saying in the 2nd half.
Pack's was very harsh, it was only just a foul.
Robertson was unlucky, as far as I could see he was just running back into position when they played the free-kick against him. Bit naive to run that close to the ball but I saw no intent to block the free-kick.
Couldn't see what Morrell was booked for so can't comment on that one, if it was for the tackle then it was harsh, and Morrell's reaction showed how angry he was with the player for making it look bad, but it was probably for something that happened in the 'afters' which he should have just walked away from.
