It's a shame that you couldn't have considered that the Derby vs Reading game was a 5th round cup tie between two committed Championship teams rather than trying to referee it like a game of netball - a couple of early warnings would have let the game flow rather than immediately brandishing the yellow card as soon as the first foul was committed - left yourself nowhere to go as the game progressed other than to keep dishing out the cards.

The following day, I watched a certain Mr Clattenberg referee a game played in a similar manner - he was almost invisible as he kept control, but allowed the game to be played as such an important fixture should be played...with commitment and passion. You unfortunately snuffed any sort of enjoyment as the crowd spent most of the game wondering who'd be next to find themselves in your book.

Centre of the pitch you may be - centre of attention you most certainly shouldn't be - please try harder in future.....
