It hasn't been the best of weeks for the Lions after losing at Watford and then drawing at home to Blackburn Rovers on Tuesday night.

In both games we played well and sustained the level of performance throughout, and despite losing at Watford we recorded a fair share of the possession.

However, instead of talking about the football after each game, this week has been all about referees.

Ian Holloway said after the Watford game it was the strangest game he has witnessed in his 18 years in football. 

There were a number of decisions which went against us and for Watford, and yet when our players were fouled there was no reciprocal comparison. 

It has to be asked how can there be such inconsistency allowed in the modern game?

Tuesday night was a chance to forget the sour taste of bad decisions, an opportunity to get back to climbing up the table and most importantly football.

Holloway said before the game our players are not going to react to the referee or other players, we want to play football and this is what it’s about.

Sadly our boss couldn't have been further from the truth as Marc Bircham was sent the stands after Andy Wilkinson was shown a straight red for a 50-50 challenge.

The Blackburn bench leapt to their feet as soon as Wilkinson made contact with Ben Marshall and no doubt this influenced the referee’s decision. 

Replays showed both players were committed and it was a good tackle from Wilkinson, but the damage is already done.

Millwall played the final half hour with 10 men and Wilkinson could now be banned for three games if the challenge is deemed dangerous, although Ollie said in the press conference we will be appealing the red card and a number of other decisions.

Thankfully Millwall fought back and earned a well-deserved point but who knows what would have happened if it had remained 11 v 11?

Later in the game Holloway exploded on the touchline following another controversial decision by the referee and was banished to the stands.

Again, how there can be so much inconsistency in the modern game? 

Too many times the referee is discussed in the same breath as Millwall and far too often in relation to controversial decisions. 

For an outsider or neutral, it seems such an easy excuse to blame the ref - but in the Lions’ case it’s a genuine statement of unfairness.

Over the course of the season, Millwall do not get the rub of the green and the majority of 50-50 decisions go against us. 

Millwall's motto may be ‘No one likes us, we don't care’ but we do care and it is time to stop talking about bad decisions and concentrate on the football.

But how can you when these mistakes are proving so costly week in, week out?

Is it now time to introduce technology to the modern game in order to eradicate such costly mistakes we endure? 

It is 2014, technology is used everywhere and why are the FA and FIFA so reluctant to introducing such measures? 

Football is a multi-million pound industry and the cost of implementing such procedures would be minimal.

We are all human - reporters, footballers, managers and referees - and the natural eye is not capable of seeing everything.

Mistakes are bound to be made, the natural eye can only see a few angles but with the use of cameras and instant replays this will stop the possibility of errors being made.  

Last week in front of the TV cameras, Millwall recorded a victory against Cardiff and the game was fair.

Was this a coincidence as with the game been screened internationally and as the nation watched on, the referee was under the microscope? 

The Championship is a hard enough division without unfair and biased decisions - we should be talking about the football and not the referee.

A major call for technology is needed, as once the whistle is blown there is no turning back.

Millwall host Brentford on Saturday and Holloway will have a sympathiser in Bees boss Mark Warburton.

The former City Trader has gone on record in recent weeks about the need to have an NFL-style review system in football after a number of controversial decisions in games involving his side this season.

Let me know our thoughts on this week’s two results.
