Wilkie blasts red card ref

Dundee United defender Lee Wilkie fears the Terrors squad will eventually pay for the number of red cards they are picking up this season.
Sean Dillon became the eighth United player to see red this term when he was dismissed in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Hibernian after bringing down David Murphy.
Wilkie said: "Our squad will be stretched to the limit if we get any more injuries or suspensions.
"Some of the dismissals this season have been very unlucky, including Sean's.
"Referees are punishing players for making genuine tackles and, while it was a penalty to Hibs, Sean wasn't the last man.
"Referees need to remember it's a contact sport."
