Referee McDermid Ends Leeds' Run

Last updated : 29 September 2007 By Kevin Markey
As the Whites 100% start to the League One season ended with a 1-1 draw at Priestfield Stadium, Wise was furious with McDermid's decision to send off strike pair Tresor Kandol and Jermaine Beckford and was also sent to the stand at half-time for 'verbally abusing' the official.

But Wise claims the referee used similar language to him after the final whistle. He said: "The big issue here is that, at the end of the game, the referee has told me to 'f-off'. I think is totally and utterly unacceptable and we as a club will be reporting him.

"I have three witnesses who are going to back me up, so well done to the ref, he got the headlines he obviously wanted. The ref has sent me off at half-time because I've said something that I shouldn't have done. But it seems there are two different sets of rules."
