Major calamity caused by bad communication Muzza?, would think a severe mark down how this was handled for Neil Pratt (mmmm)!
Bath equalised in 90 +12 minutes. 2-2.
Sending off for delaying restart with a second yellow , harsh, maybe a finger wag and get on with now order could have eased the issue.
All be it if it looked from wrong position.
Yet for this one incident on Saturday, tens of other decisions by this team of officials could have been spot on.
As a member of the officials 'union', Have found there are three causes of officials drawing attention, good game (usually) if situations click on the day, poor game, decisions being made where control is lost early on especially and the third , working successfully with all players and benches consistently with respect (works both ways).

Just like players at all levels, mistakes are made, this one looked to be big one!
 
This is a decent read (for our more senior viewers)...

Does this sound familiar 😉?
"We had great lads who were physically strong, who would work hard and dig in – and frighten people – but in the First Division then, you did need a little more than that," said Carr. "Unfortunately, we didn't have the money to do it - we did our best but our best wasn't good enough."
