As MillersMad predicted, referee Peter Walton dished out the cards - all to Rotherham by the way, and Martin Butler saw red on 43 minutes in what seemed a little controversial.
When asked about it, Knill gave his version of events, "I just thought that where i saw standing that Martin had turned the lad and the lad pulled him back and Martins reaction was just to push him off and hes just caught him."
"Im dissapointed, the referee never saw it he waved play on, but the fourth official pulled him over and said that he elbowed him, but thats how i saw it."
"I thought the fourth official was a little bit influenced by Simon Grayson and rightly so as Simon saw it and straight away went to the fourth official. I thought that as soon as Simon went to him thats when he called the ref over."
"To be fair to him (Grayson) he explained to me after that he saw it clearly, you dont like it but you have to accept it."
"From where I was stood it didnt look a dirty game, it was a bottom of the table game and if theres not challenges there something wrong, I didnt see it coming I didnt see anybody getting sent off as it was'nt that sort of game. But unfortunately it was one of our players that did."

"It's a clean sheet with 10 players! Very Good, and it wasnt just because we got 10 players behond the ball because we never we tried to get forward when we broke it up."
"We came here to win, with 11 players we came to win and even with 10 we tried to win so on the whole dissapointed that we didnt take 3 points but happy that we taken a point after losing a player."
