Every time we have that moron, the game goes pear shaped because he continuously does not take control of the game and lets shocking tackles go unpunished. He is quick to book a player for saying boo to him but a bad tackle and he is too chicken to send him off. He was clearly the reason for the Easties coach outburst, not that I condone his behaviour towards the ref and he clearly deserved to be sent off the bench for it, but the East were on the back foot and the ref would not let there injured player back on the park, of course the coach is going to let him know about it. He just didn't need to add the extra f words in between his sentences.
As for the game, it was not the East played well or even tried to play at all but that the Farm simply missed there chances. The Farm dominated the whole game, two disallowed goals, three posts and many, many other chances, the East were on the back foot all day, could not string three passes together and resorted to bad tackles to slow the game down. What the Sweeper said at the end of the game was a total disgrace and an embarrassment to the PH East members, players and supporters. D@%k heads like that are not needed at any club.
Well done to the East for getting a point, if that is what you set out too do, but I would have thought you really needed the three. It will be a shame to see the East go down as we have had many great games against them over the years but after that display yesterday, I am not sure if you deserve to play Sun Div 1 next year.
I agree with some of your comments SNS. The ref, (the downs favourite), was again terrible. He missed everything he shouldn't have yesterday. A goal, probably a send off the list could go on and on. It kind of played into our hands in the end.
We didn't really play too well no, but i don't think we are ever going to play pretty football for the rest of the season. As i have said in previous posts, we want to get points no matter how ugly it may be. Sure we would have loved the 3 points yesterday, but i think we were lucky to get the one in the end. God knows how many posts, cross bars, ripper saves, missed open goals you guys had. It was just never going to go in unless you walked it in.
Our sweeper just got caught up in the feeling of the game and the local derby. Your blokes gave us plenty when u beat us in the first game and i think he was just reacting to what still sticks in his mind.
Why do you not think we deserve to play in div1 next year SNS? Why does anyone deserve it more than us? Your players dished it out just as good during the game. Especially your right winger.
It was a good hard game i thought. Some of our guys were tiring near the end and were late only due to fatigue more than anything i thought. You guys pride yourself on being very fit, so it was bloody hard to run out the game against you.
