Frustration was the theme for Joey Barton's Bristol Rovers as they missed the chance to take stretch their home winning streak to four, but they will wake up justifiably grumpy on Sunday morning.
Aaron Collins looked personally offended by referee John Busby's interpretation of his clash with John-Joe O'Toole in the penalty area just after the hour mark in a 0-0 stalemate at the Mem. The universal consensus on the press bench was a spot-kick should have been awarded, but the striker was instead deemed guilty of trying to con the officials and was booked for simulation.
That decision defined an afternoon of disjointed football from both teams in difficult conditions, with the draw leaving Rovers in 14th place, 10 points adrift of the League Two play-off places.
