Last Saturday afternoon Worksop's Alexs Starcenko was sent off for, it appears, kicking the ball into the stand where Hereford fans were sitting.
It was thought he had been given a yellow card earlier in the game but the referee showed a straight red card.
Not for the first time this season it has to be questioned whether the referee was influenced by so many players surrounding him.
Here's how Worksop reported the sending off:
'Towards the end the game became more open as Starcenko saw red after picking up a second yellow card for dissent, giving the away side the boost to go on and win the game.'
Hereford FC:
'Starcenko is sent off for angrily smashing the ball into the away supporters.'
Bulls News Report:
'The Tigers we're reduced to 10-men with 8 minutes to go when Aleksandrs Starcenko completely lost his head and kicked the ball into the Bulls crowd after a free-kick was given to Hereford. A melee ensued, Skinner appeared to be hit in the face by a Worksop player which he tried to explain to referee Luke Hood but he ignored his claims.'
Hereford Supporter:
'The sending off was unusual to say the least. The ball went into the crowd, and one of the Bulls fans grabbed the ball and refused to give it back to the Worksop player. There was a lot of abusive language in both directions and other players and fans joined in. It could have got quite nasty.
Another ball was taken but before the play could restart the original ball was thrown back onto the pitch, at which point the Worksop player got hold of it and smashed it into the crowd. Immediate red card and a bit of a fracas followed. Skinner tried to make out that he had been hit in the face, the Bulls players were taunting the guy who was sent off and the Worksop players were furious.
There’s no excuse for what the Worksop player did, someone could have been hurt the way he lashed the ball into the crowd.'
'He (Starcenko) did lose his cool, spectacularly - play had stopped, he hit a screamer into the away section, straight red. Followed by 11 vs 10 handbags in our box, home 'keeper included (that should be another card) which saw Skinns take one on the chin, he'll live, and maybe one more yellow from a very weak referee.'
Earlier Hereford manager Aaron Downes spoke about this kind of incident as two similar had happened in the previous two games.
"It's frustrating because they are so strong on the law that only one player can get around the referee," Downes told BBC Hereford and Worcester.
"I would like to think that the National League and the FA would take action on opposition teams that surround the referee because on both occasions everybody, it's clear to see there's more than one person surrounding the referee to change, to influence, the decision.
"From a Radcliffe point of view you can't blame them, they were trying to influence the referee and it worked.
"The referee pulled a yellow card out ready to yellow card our player (Kandola) then put it back in his pocket and then pulled a red card out after the players surrounded him.
"I'm telling my players let the captain deal with it but maybe I'm being naive because I don't want our football club getting a fine because we can't afford to do that.
"When teams influence the referee like they are it makes you think we should be surrounding them and doing that.
"But that's not the way the laws are stated and written to us so the National League and the FA need to look into this because they either stick to the laws they've enforced on us or not.
"It's something we might look into mentioning."
