I saw it happen, it was stupid but yellow card at the very worst. If that is a legitimate red card in the eyes of the 'law' then football as a contact sport is dead, I'm sorry but it is. Seeing a hard nut like big mick jump out of his seat to protest it as well is shameful. He wouldn't bat an eyelid if someone elbowed him in the face let alone a football being chucked at his head. The very fact we're even debating this is ludicrous. This is why I've enjoyed watching the rugby world cup. No nonsense from refereees, stamp out any play acting and uphold the laws of the game. As for this game, agree with Sloppy, we should have been 3-0 up at HT, decision-making and our final ball were beyond woeful. Showing up why we are where we are. On the balance of the whole game, if both teams had taken their chances it would have been 6-5. Always felt those chances would come back to haunt us and if it wasn't for Steer pulling off a world class save from McGoldrick at the death we would have all been bringing out the same old same old lines. Back 4 bar Lynch who again showed his propensity for giving away stupid fouls in dangerous places, twice at the same place trying to shepherd out the ball, failing and then giving away a free-kick or playing for a foul. Hudson solid, Crainie or Whitehead my MOTM. Very close. Crainie was brilliant, time and time again, making tackles, playing simple balls, marked their winger out of the game. Whitehead was everywhere and did twice the work of Huws who was a waste of space in midfield. Will have off days but looked remarkably off the pace, needs some fitness work and should have been taken off. Someone needs to tell Nakhi to hit the gym and beef up because he's become so lightweight its a joke. Did a bit better in holding the ball up but him and Miller cant trap a bag of cement and fell over on a pitifully regular basis. Every time Nakhi went in for a tackle he looked like he injured himself. Thought Davidson got a lot of unfair stick on here. He had a couple bad games but was very solid yesterday and I think will continue to be good. Good point and would have taken it before the start but should have won on balance of chances created. Scanz actually had their fullback on toast but his final ball is still woeful and I think he knows that, more coaching with him and I think he'll get better. He needs an arm round the shoulder and support. Our fans were so quick to get on his back yesterday, don't think other players would have got that stick. We need to get behind some of them a bit more.
