Cardiff manager Brian Barry-Murphy criticised League One refereeing standards, claiming they are "getting gradually worse" following his side's 3-0 away victory at Rotherham on Saturday. The Bluebirds secured a convincing win despite an early setback when captain Ryan Wintle was sent off after just 21 minutes. Wintle was dismissed for felling goal-bound Rotherham player Harry Gray.
Despite playing with ten men for the majority of the match, Cardiff quickly took control. They scored three emphatic goals, ensuring they maintained their position at the top of League One. Barry-Murphy praised his players' character and mentality for overcoming the early red card incident and delivering a strong performance. Meanwhile, Rotherham United's manager, Matt Hamshaw, expressed frustration with his team's underperformance. He stated his side was "miles below the standard" required, leaving them two points from safety in the relegation zone.
