Watford 12 men draw with Argyle's 10

Al and I went out to the Argyle game yesterday. Even Al (9 years old) had trouble staying in her seat after an interesting (?) referee display. I have copied this from a match report for your entertainment. Must say, we were not amused!!

"Plymouth Argyle gained a deserved point against Watford in a bad-tempered affair at Home Park. Jermaine Easter put the Pilgrims one up in the first half but Watford equalised just three minutes later when Lee Williamson scored from a free-kick.
Argyle were down to ten-men in the second half when Peter Halmosi was sent-off for a second bookable offence.The game was overshadowed by some poor decisions from referee Phil Joslin and the atrocious 'football' played by Watford. Argyle not only had to contend with Joslin playing as a spare man in the Hornets' midfield but also the bullying tactics from the Watford players.
A gusty wind didn't help both sets of players.As a special treat we have Big Ron as co-commentator for the game and he'll be giving us his views during this match report.
Watford had the early pressure with some long throw-in's from Leigh Bromby, a January transfer target for Argyle boss Paul Sturrock, creating panic in the Argyle defence. Some of Bromby's throws were from the halfway line, it's football but not as we know it.
Any early thoughts Ron? 'Tell you what, it's very windy out there, it looks like the Hungarians have been on the beans and goulash. The Watford lad throws it further than I go on holiday!'
Thanks Ron.
After an endless succession of Bromby long throws Argyle finally got hold of the ball and started to play football. You know football don't you Mr Boothroyd? Players pass along the ground to each other!
Over to Ron. 'I'll tell you what, I know it's early doors but the big fella at the back for Plymouth is heading the ball away for fun.'
The Pilgrims scored from their first real attempt on goal when Rory Fallon played in striker partner Jermaine Easter who shot past the bemused Richard Lee in the Watford goal to give Argyle a 1-0 advantage.
What did you think of the goal Ron? 'Spotter's badge for Big Rory, he's picked out his mate Easter and he's slotted in on the back stick.'
Ok Ron.
Within three minutes the thugs from Vicarage Road drew level and surprisingly it wasn't from a long throw but from their 12th man. Joslin gave his mates a dubious free-kick just outside the Argyle penalty area and after making sure that the Argyle wall was back the required 11 yards, Lee Williamson stepped up to chip the ball over the wall and past Argyle keeper Luke McCormick to make it 1-1.
The goal signalled the first time that the ball had entered the Argyle penalty area from a foot rather than from a throw-in.
Any thoughts on the Watford goal Ron? 'Yes, a great lollipop from the Watford player, he pulled the trigger over the wall and it's in, just a shame McCormick is not in the wide-awake club.'
The second half continued in the same vein, with the Boothroyd Bruisers hitting the ball as far as possible, if that failed they threw it as far as possible. The Argyle defence, with Russell Anderson and Marcel Seip prominent, stood strong in the face of such intimidation.
A goal-mouth scramble in the Watford penalty area saw Peter Halmosi surprisingly pick up a yellow card from Joslin. 'Look at me, look at me, I'm a referee!'
Over to Ron on that booking. 'Halmosi has loaded that in the mixer again but it's a crowd scene in there with the Hungarian giving it little eyebrows, he done wonders there to ghost in, not sure about the yellow, that's harsh.'
Sturrock changed things around by taking off Chris Clark and Gary Teale and brought on Lilian Nalis and Jim Paterson but with Argyle in the ascendancy they were reduced to ten men when Joslin wanted to take centre-stage once again.
Halmosi picked up his second yellow card for a tackle on Matthew Sadler, the Watford bench were up in arms, quite remarkable when you think that Boothroyd's Bruisers have been fouling all match.
Unfortunately Halmosi was injured in the tackle and left the pitch on a stretcher. Despite being a player short (or is that two players?) Argyle finished the game the stronger team but couldn't find a way past the muscle boys and the game ended all square at 1-1.
A quick summary Ron? 'I never comment on referees and I'm not going to break the habit of a lifetime for that prat. Watford threw the ball for fun but Plymouth rallied to the sound of the trumpets and a draw is a fair result.'
Thanks Ron.
Argyle stay in 6th place in the Championship while Watford drop one place to fourth, such a shame.

Star Player

Phil Joslin brought his side back into the game with the award of a dubious free-kick. He allowed his team mates to foul and bully but sent off Halmosi."

Just about sums it all up really. Halmosi was stretchered off to a waiting ambulance. Didn't look like a break but you can never tell.

And that's it from the Plymouth jury!!!!
