We’ll get the bad news out of the way early. John Busby is the referee. The man who looked as if he was doing his absolute best to even things up when Posh travelled, and lost 2-0 to Middlesbrough last month. His seeming desire to make up for his error in awarding Posh a penalty in the dying seconds against Lincoln by giving them absolutely nothing at the Riverside culminating in a shocking to way away what was a stonewall penalty, what Dembele was taken out by the goalkeeper in the area.
Welcome!
