Club 1870 match day 12 man is Alex Smith 25 on the clock at stair Park and the referee decides another foul on dingwell oh oh and dingwell has died he’s on the pitch he’s on the ground utterly nonsense really is non yeah that was silly from K but there’s

No need for Russ to hit the deck like that I mean St it right enough but uh it’s D from Kyle flaming but honestly you know referee should be having a word with Russell dingwell for his Antics I know Golding gets that one back now emerges with Jeff in the middle he’s

Outnumbered and was that not a free kick no the oh gave a free kick we’ve got a free kick here and arguably I would say star get the cheaper of the threee kicks there yeah yeah 11 is Dan well Booth sends it back to draer fact it goes all the way back to

The keeper keeper might have picked up la a bit of time but noty Furious well done you look he’s off side there well certainly ding was but but he’s not no he’s on o and that’s a good cut back I tell you what I’ve seen those G

Right yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Russell dingwell looked to be brought down in the box and I think we may have got away with one there that’s played up the wing now Golding handled it say from our fans but he gets out to Galler sends it in

The middle buta stretches and PS it safely now the keeper was impeded there that would be a booking yeah for Danang you’re not allowed to do that and another da booking to be honest yeah Forest gets it away oh oh caught him yeah playing playing on here’s Dolan think he’s all

Right the box to be up armor it’s a tough one to control but armor goes off and somehow the Elgen Defense work hard and get that one clear here they come again though here’s the blues again Kyle Fleming to James Dolan gets it across to the right Chris

Johnston nice spot by Dolan Johnson cuts inside oh that’s a free come on referee For Heaven’s Sake referee well we’ll look at again but I’ll put on record I think the ref got that one completely wrong Brian so I say we’ll look at it again it might uh it might change our minds

Danang and great Tackle by Dylan Forest great tackle which is penalized by the referee who thinks that’s a you look up this referee is losing the plot Dylan Forest clearly got the ball there sent off he sent off and he’s been sent off and that’s stupidity as Well I don’t think refere is going to get a very good Williams has had enough gou is at half time certainly Scott agu having Award with him and no draer charging for didn’t get that it’s just that kind of Park isn’t it oh and he’s going to Bing for this is

That is an absolute nonsense again was it a foul yes was it a booking absolutely Not then up with the parks out to the right goes now trouble here for stra the ball goes into count it ding wall and took a deflection andas does well to tip that round the post so Russell dingwell with the corner on the right 52nd minute well done James jper putting

Himself in the box there back out at ding will he’ll lift this back in he does Robertson can only header onwards into the box that needs cleared and that’s a goal and that is a disaster for round what a goal what a scrappy goal 53 minutes what a scrappy goal to lose that

Can’t actually see who put that in to be honest but that Robertson could only handle that back on djer area and uh that led to all sorts of problems that a scrappy goal so dingell’s Corner leads to an Elgen goal Johnson going off going [Applause] off so Grant and Lang coming on

Now here is Matty Grant now interesting to see how fit Matty Grant is cor you and the goal has been given to incidentally I mean they they have got the goal now so you know I mean against 10 men so you know they can play any way they want Dingell with another Corner

This one from the left o kind of bypassed everybody here’s Freddy Jeff sends it back into the box ready down by ah trouble here stay your feet Craig gold Golding didn’t really get a shot in there now he’s still got the ball though it’s back out to

Dingwall driven in could went any and that could have went absolutely any here yeah ding wall tries to get it to Golding Golding looks offside no flag I’d like to see that again we’re still away on the flag from the lman he looked offside it’s a tight one though

Yeah Kyle coming off kale flaming replaced by Grant [Applause] gaker [Applause] kale gin lost out and now we’ve got a problem Brian Feddy Jeff is through gin goes back that’s a goal yeah mistake in the middle think absolutely 64th [Applause] minute I think it was Freddy Jeff that finish

That and that should be game over butus sends up long almost speechless here cuz there’s not enough a lot you can see about this now yeah it’s getting scrappier and scrappier and they they can knock the ball about you know they’re two up two n they comfortable look at this look at

This finish it he’s offside the wrong player went for that Keith Bri should have left that to desan Golding and uh not content with that he then sends it wide and the flag’s up yeah that was a let off though yeah it was if if Golding had gone in there he was on

Side it’s like a November afternoon here at St par yeah it’s awful in it nice every ball that we are playing now is H going to them I think d wall to Golding strange has the run through the middle by Freddy Jeff as well Golding still got the ball and he draws it

Deflected wide rather at the near post so interestingly Golding going off Dolan and is it going to three the back I think Lawrence so aing go Martin and tamore are introduced for the last 20 Minutes that’s a ball in for boo to chase it’s parried down by budus and Chris McQueen finishes the clearance here’s or and or is caught [Applause] there caught by drapery keeps going though and a good save by m yeah and the referee is going to book

The player it’s Ross Draper is it Matty grunt taking over there through the Gloom it’s a great corner oh and now got one back Lawrence and who scored it though don’t know absolutely no IDE 78th minute sh one Backus it’s intercepted by black and white shot now lifted High towards the Elgen box Robertson Robertson out to the left mat Grant oh gets it and that nearly gets through to or did Craig Ross oh oh that’s a free kick Daren Lang taken out clearly something in mind to try Tam

More seven to play and it’s parried down by the keeper that was a powerful shot and it was on target Ross gets ahead of him there now Robertson tries to get that and intervene by McQueen nice touch by Galler there and Grant gaker and Matty Grant getting each other other

Way oh no danger here is the sub KES Dingell screams for it but KY cut back only goes to gr G bring it me mind no Tam more into the path of Matty Grant Place it across Gil Martin no was no bad actually to Darren Lang

Lang heads off he gets a shot might have been on target might not but slithers along the surface and it’s grabbed gratefully by Tom Mill so are running out of time fast now is that not the same as what happened in the first half must that danana got booted for again [Applause]

Inconsistency McQueen oh no oh Matty grunts away keeps it in cuts inside Galler in the middle of tamour oh oh penalty that’s a penalty r that l a clear penalty it’s a penalty well Mr Williams oh my dear and look at this score Jones to BR and Bri misses an absolute

Setter that is absolutely unbelievable oh now Darren Lang watch the offside here oh and the Cor that Tom or Furious there he was gone for Tom but the boy put it Tom or still ring about that feels the ball should have got to him Grant sends it in

It’s headed down and it’s head Corner play still at the referee for the I suspect this will be it now we just go to WS to undefeat him say Lawrence but the main talking point is game is a referee been the center of attention that’s 5 minutes injury time play he’s

Been the center of attention all afternoon C have won at Bon rig and Barton have won 6’2 if you’re Duncan Williams are you wondering why these people are annoyed with you because it’s a such a bizarre display yeah I think the Elgen manager now having a word with the referee thanks

Ref unbelievable Park one Elgen City 2 next up a trip to face East 5
