Bristol City manager Nigel Pearson made headlines this week when the said he was considering retiring from football due to the standard of refereeing in the EFL.
Penalties, or the lack of them, have been a huge source of frustration on the south side of Bristol, and a similar tale was shared by the blue half on Saturday as Bristol Rovers were on the wrong side of controversial calls in either 18-yard box in their 3-1 defeat at Portsmouth.
“I’ve got to be honest with you, I thought about it last year, and I’ve thought about it again this year and that is basically to pack up being involved in the sport," Pearson told Sky Sports News after his side beat Luton Town on Tuesday.
