Match details

Great result. Proper team effort after the ref decided it was all about him and made some decisions that most refs don't make.
What was the minutes silence for, I didn't hear an announcement.

The young lad Billy Vigar who died after colliding with perimeter fence last week. Playing for Chichester City v Wingate.

Arrrh. I'd read about that, came up through arsenal youth system.
RIP Billy

Great result today. The ref actually made it so exciting for those listening on RD (thanks once again Joseph, Bruce and Bruno). To actually be at the match must have been fantastic.
First red card of the season.. Extremely harsh.
First sub to score this season.
Four wins in a row first since January 2020.

Another big game next week hopefully with Bruno back. What a ridiculous reason for not playing today.
Bedford had a friendly and needed him!!!

Great performance from the lads, especially after going down to ten men. Personally I thought it was a penalty, but others around me didn’t think so. Absolute joke of a referee, even the Long Eaton players didn’t think it was a sending off, but it’s always risky when a player is on a yelllow. Don’t think we can appeal either, since it was a second yellow?

I believe there was an assessor from the FA in attendance? Hopefully we don’t see that referee again any time soon.
