Excellent result. I'm enjoying imagining the good moods of our travelling supporters exiting the ground; it will be a light-hearted journey home
It was nice and quiet, and I was back home for just after 7pm.
For the benefit of likely attendees/morons at our next home match, my ratings for Scunny are as follows:
Ricardo - 2
Everyone else - 9
Surely Ricardo should be at the most 0?:icon_roll
I wonder if Vitor/Ricardo playing together helped today?
I'm a fan of Vitor (even more after today!) so hopefully it's good enough reason to keep him in
Yuki (with translator) being interviewed now
I have not rated Vitor very highly in the past ranking him below Hobbs and Morrison (who?) but I would guess from his two goals he played well today. Can someone who was actually at the match confirm this?
Yes, I think him being there in front of Ricardo gave the goalie a lot more confidence.
Ricardo certainly did nothing wrong today, though the stupid old women behind me were berating him constantly throughout the game.:icon_roll
Vitor had a very good game, and imo was our best player on the pitch.
Before composing myself for my thoughts on the game
How did Joe Garner stay on the pitch? Virtually went to attack Naughton for a nothing challenge but his team-mate stopped him short of hitting Naughton. Then followed it up with a blatant handball. One yellow.
Whether Naughton should've been booked or not, the fact that Garner went for him, swinging his arm towards him, imo meant he should've saw red.
But then again, after scrolling back through the text commentary(yes,sad I know) and seeing how many fouls Lee Milar gave away(3 in less than 4 minutes) I'm bemused at how only one Scunny player got booked.
As for the game... thought we handled the crappy pitch well, and deserved our halftime lead. Hung on for a dodgy first 15 mins of the second half-thanks to the lino flagging for offside after the ref awarded a penalty- and we were full value for the 3-0 win at the final whistle.
Re: the lad who was taken to hospital with serious head injuries-Obviously I hope he recovers quickly, but tbh, trying to stand on the metal railing wasn't exactly the smartest thing to do was it?
