Rovers Vs Crawley

[monkeytennis]

Ref is absolute cack. Fails to see them basically bumming Ironside time after time then books the gaffer for complaining about it.

They’re more composed than us and are proving well where we are weak but we’ve defended quite well so far. Need to take control more though.

Got ifollow on now.

Shocking refereeing with Ironside being manhandled every time he gets near the ball. Rowe and Westbrooke battling really well in the middle and Molyneux causing problems down the wing.

Can't believe the ref gave Bailey a yellow card for time wasting on a throw in after only 32 mins.

These yellow cards for time wasting needs reviewing, that wasn't time wasting, more like not having anyone in space to throw to due to the Crawley markers doing a good job

Honestly I agree with it. Takes the piss our throw ins take so long we need to practice it in training like a professional football club. No excuse i

[sedwardsdrfc]

Was a nailed on penalty on Rowe I think. Their man just threw him to the floor in the box

[andyst79]

The refs not helped, Ironside getting man handled every time he receives the ball. The defender should be on a yellow walking a tightrope

[belton rover]

Please, please, please keep it up.

[Thorney]

Overall probably the best side I the first half and deserve the lead.

Crawley much the better team first 15mins and gotta admit looked impressive and confident on the ball and we couldn't get a sniff, but once we got a foothold in it then we got on top and look threating when in the final 3rd.

Need to keep molly fit, and also get a LB back to allow him to play more advanced.

Happy with that half. Think ironside will only be given a free kick once Williams chokes him out

While we might be crap at throw ins, a yellow card in that instance was ridiculous, they had a corner which wasn't much quicker.

Thought the rule was brought in for blatant time wasting, not for being poor at throw ins. A warning is sufficient first time around.

[andyst79]

Molly's first ball in the box was awful, but his crosses have been good after that. He's looked lively

[turnbull for england]

Ironside is going to get maunge today he's being handled that much

[ian1980]

Molly just hit the bar

[ian1980]

2-0 (Ironside) (Pen)

[ChrisBx]

Talk about getting a reaction!

[Bristol Red Rover]

 

Also up to 20th with Newport winning

[Mike_F]

That was fantastic from Nixon to get away down the wing.

[normal rules]

Another one or two please to help the gd

[BigH]

Another one or two please to help the gd

Steady on!

[Iberian Red]

The ref couldn't really ignore too many more blatant fouls. Thank f he gave one in the box

[Herbert Anchovy]

We’re playing well tonight by all accounts (i.e a couple of mates at the match!)

[NickDRFC]

Really encouraging performance here. Let’s keep at this level!

On a side note, how is Peter Catt still getting a gig? Half of his contributions are just strangled moans or exclamations whenever something remotely interesting is happening!

[Iberian Red]

HA,we've controlled the game. The defence have been solid too

I'd take him over Liam any day of the week

[Bristol Red Rover]

Oh for the days of Brian Bradley

On the other hand Robbie Andrews is really good

[Iberian Red]

Agreed DU. I think he's a natural at it

[belton rover]

We have been superb tonight.

[Iberian Red]

We have been superb tonight.

Hmm. Have you been at the single malt?
We've been good

[normal rules]

Ft. That will do.

[Peebles Rover]

Really enjoyed that. Think that’s the best I’ve seen us play. After the first 15 mins we were on top. Really likes the way we harried them the whole game. We could have scored more. Great performance
