had an email from Woking TV's cameraman and editor so thought i would post it at his suggestion.
Don't normally bother answering stuff like this but if you want to put this on the Welling forum (I can't be bothered to register) to answer the point, you may:
"Tom, I hope your highlights show the nasty fouls that Woking seem to have accidentally missed off their highlights?"
Generally, I don't put every booking or foul on the highlights as it takes too much time up. The Pires thing was only mentioned because I thought it was quite funny. The only 'nasty foul' I remember was McNerney's who was rightly booked for it but I didn't think it was that worthy of including as was a clear yellow card and not controversial. Not sure how Doyle and Ademola (given the referee he had deemed it a foul) got away without yellow cards but then in the second half particularly the referee made some bizzare decisions both ways as is normally the case at this level! Haven't had any complains about Woking highlights being biased, I did after all point out that the offside in the first half probably wasn't, certainly borderline at best - not quite at the right angle to tell for definite perhaps.
Thought it was a decent game of football, Welling definitely the strongest team we have faced. In open play, it was an even match with Woking probably just edging it, particularly in the second half. However, our defending of set plays let us down badly but I'm sure you will cause teams a lot of problems from them throughout the season as you have a number of players very strong in the air, have great delivery and are very organised. I think both teams will be in the running for the playoffs at the very least at the end of the season. Good luck until we face you at Kingfield.

From where I sit in the old stand (not far from the press box) I didn't think the moses tackle was bad, a 50/50 which both players went for. Great highlights as usual jgfc, and great interviews. Woking guy sounds like a decent guy and does nice highlights for them. I'm sure Woking will be up there at the end of season, and it was a decent game played in good spirits.
I was the same as Mick following the ball so never bothered putting up Loick getting a yellow. Mick is very friendly and does a great Job for Woking hes not biased and always sees it pretty fairly and even laughs if the ref gives woking a decision they shouldnt have got.
Im just a bit hacked off with pitchero as it has a very small file size limit so even though we film in High Definition the site cant take anything over average quality. Im in contact with them to get the file sizes higher. Id actually quite like pitchero now if they let you upload high quality video, maybe we can get that sorted.
Bonus is that clear high quality will be on in the bar before games hopefully with rolling highlights of the last 2-3 games each matchday.

Moses' team-mates seemed to think it was a bad tackle given four or five of them rushed the ref, who as usual, ceded all authority by walking backwards.
Is it in the highlights? If not someone tell me Roughly when it happened and i will put up a high definition clip of it. (after ive finished watching the live game between Coritiba and Corinthians in the Brasiliero.

It works though doesnt it 4 or 5 people walking the ref back away from the incident making him think twice about a red or even a yellow and disorientating him. Why though talk to the player and not book him when hes 5 yards from the challenge and he blew and gave a free kick?
Hes a conference premier ref, seen worse than him though he did have a mad 10 minutes giving every free kick the wrong way. Wasnt biased and thats all i look for you can be crap just be consistent. On this occasion he bottled a red card and forgot to give a yellow.

The Moses tackle happened right in front of me and, although the ball was there to be won (and I think Moses did get a little of the ball) and I'm sure no malice was intended, his foot was off the ground and his studs were up; the studs went straight into Parky's ankle.
Moses went over to Jack and apologised, and Jack got up and shook his hand. It looked to me like Jack was also trying to tell the ref not to book Moses.
Professionalism ... you see it all the time ... I do wonder at the type of people who are referees at this level, and especially the old linesmen, who can't keep up with play and have no authority at all ...
McNerney tackle not for first time against us was a shocker he really did take out Loick with a late one. What got me was the ref gave him a talking to in the first half. So should have upgraded the yellow. I mean, talk to them say you aint happy then book them after a horror tackle, why talk to them ? just book them in the first half then they wont do what they did in the second? Dont make sense and McNerney seems to get booked against us every game and receive lots of chances. That tackle was a bad one.

Lovely bundle off the gonads by Big Ben. Wonder how he practices this risky technique.
There is another similar seldom used and tricky method of scoring. Not recommended in cold weather, known as a trickle off the testicles. However getting it in is acheived they all count. Well done Big Ben
