If I could have been arsed, I'd have taken disciplinary action in telling the ref what a **** he was. Even in that penalty decision, the player had a shot which was saved and then he awarded the penalty. Two bites of the cherry.
Gave a goal which was over my head and said it deflected off me, it never even touched me. He allowed the goalie to take 15-30 seconds with the ball (6 second rule). I have never felt the reason to criticise a ref so openly as I did last night.
They played as if Stevenage were 1-0 up against Man United with two minutes to play. I felt robbed not in terms of the result (we didn't play well second half) but for the fact that we must have actually played just 20-22 minutes worth of football and it was a rip-off considering what we paid for. I like a win as much as anyone but to play 5-a-side in the manner they did was chuffing awful.
I could play them another time in the next three months, I'd make sure we'd beat em. I'd be around the pitch like a duracell bunny and when the return comes, I will be up for it.
We were naive last night and we're be aware next time. I hated my brother's claim we were outclassed last night in the ride back home, they had a couple of decent players and a few fit lads. Man for man, we were better, we just fell into their trap. Even after working our arses off first half to get ourselves back in it.
I know when we were beaten last night fair and square and we've lost to superb teams in the past months. Even teams who are dirty feckers like Aimless but at least they WANT to play the game to a certain degree.
