After avoiding the issue for as long as possible, Gav and Chris sat down in the aftermath of a refereeing and game management disasterclass to look at Sunderland 0-4 Boro and the state of officiating in the modern game. 

What's the crack? 

• What the actual f*** was that? 

• How is that the standard of refereeing in this country? 

• The letter of the law versus the spirit of the law; it's not the rules, it's how and when you apply them. 

• A lack of consistency; the lads get to the bottom of the frustration with PGMOL. 

• Mowbray's game management; what did the lads make of the way Tony attempted to adapt to the situation? 

• Despite the result, how do the lads feel heading into this international break sat where we are currently? 

• All this and a bit of a long rant. Aye. 

• Ha'way the Lads! Free Dan Neil!
