How fitting that the GK howler came with the sound of The Flumps theme tune in the background. Some of those refereeing decisions still amazed second time around, especially the awsard of the late free kick to Chelmsford when the foul was on Anthony Acheampong as he cleared. Modeste's antics would not go amiss at Braintree!!  

Did the elbow on Pires really go unpunished? Terrible.
Ref looked very poor and how he gave that foul against Anthony late on is beyond me.
Mark, you are right about Modeste - his diving wasn't at all convincing though, so the ref giving all those free kicks was ridiculous.

If that had happened in the Premiership, that player would be punished retrospectively for the elbow. Doesn't seem to happen for leagues below the Premier / Championship, though.

Mark i fully expected a home player, as it should be, but Rainford? he was anonymous.

I see City gave their Man of Match to Rainford, did Daisy and Clarkey not completely dominate him, i cant remember Rainford getting a touch. I think Chaaban was the ONLY Claret who can hold his head up picking his wages up. The rest were shocking.

In fairness, when a MotM is named at Welling it is nearly always a home team player regardless of the result. Rainford produced little but he covered a lot of ground and was trying to get his team going so when there was no true star performer for them he was as good a choice as any.

How ironic that the "Match Matchball (sic) sponsors" were "The Friends and Family of the City goalkeeper Carl Pentney"

jgfc Good idea putting next match details at end of video - should do for every video from now on - well done

I Caused uproar at Hornchurch when we played there in the FA Cup. We did the radio and Uncle Urchin asked me who the man of the match should be.. I said Bodkin who was playing for us, he agreed and told them to announce it, Gee whizz... their fans (and also Colin McBride their manager, whos friends had sponsored the game) all went mad in the bar as to why an oppo player was given man of match lol.
