Had a good game for me, wasn't influenced by the crowd and kept the match flowing, even if most of it was one way.

There was an incident in the first half where Tyson went into their keeper, both players stayed down and the crowd were calling for a red. I dont even think he booked him.

Another incident later on in the half, one of their players went down on the halfway line, they were attacking and just kept on playing. Friend was probably waiting for them to kick the ball out, which they didnt do, so when they lost the ball he ignored they guy on the floor and let us attack. Which also pleased the crowd!After about 2 minutes when neither side wanted to kick the ball out he thought he ought to do something and stopped play. And then restarted it with a competed drop-ball, which was also good to see.
