Yeah I did think that was the rule. Based on our performances this season with 10 men (and there's been quite a few) we would have absolutely capitulated last night playing the whole game a man down so it's a good possibility it went in our favour.
Firstly, RIP to the Chester fan that died last night and condolences to the family. Terrible news to hear.
With regards to last nights ref, although he did seem slightly bias towards Chester, arguably we could/should have gone down to 10 men 5 minutes into the game as the Chester player was...
The only way Eastleigh could be any more hilarious would be if they end up getting relegated as well.
How much money must they have wasted? Sam Elliot from the NLP tweeted "Martin Allen leaves Eastleigh. If it's a sacking, he will never have to work again. We're talking a mega contract."
From that video it looks like Porter initially turns to the referee to argue which way a throw in was given. Once he realises his team mates are crowding the ref for a red card he joins in. Just as bad as rolling around on the floor in agony and he continued in that vain for the entire game. 10...
Are the refs even aware of past incidents at this level? Matt Rhead spends half of every game rolling around on the floor and moaning at the referee and they seem to lap it up every time. Not sure yesterday's bellend would be aware Tollitt had dived previously. I'd also say that his second...
Up there with the worst I've ever seen, the man shouldn't be allowed near a football pitch ever again. I was right next to Buxton's challenge and it wasn't even a foul.
If I don't get a ticket I'll probably just try and get one in the home end. Last season they'd given half the stand to the left of the away end to the match sponsors and there was tonnes of empty seats.
On The Chase a few years ago some woman was asked in the cash builder part, "which Scottish club won 9 league titles in a row in the 60's and 70's?" and she answered Tranmere Rovers! Our claim to fame!
"The court heard the clip showed the victim on the floor as Gillard cut his hair and sliced vegetables over him."
:eye:
A pair of scissors up the bum is pretty horrendous though, made my arse clench just reading it!
In the grand scheme of things a broken toilet is pretty irrelevant, not sure it'd warrant any game being made a bubble match. As much as I hate this division, games like yesterday are a silver lining (despite the result), it was hard not to feel envious of those celebrations in the away end...
What an absolute car crash of a 2nd half, it was almost like Brabin's Tranmere who can't pick a simple pass and look like they've never played together came out after the break. A draw was probably a fair result but it's frustrating that it was only a two minutes before the end!
Difficult to score goals when your sole tactic is to waste time from the first minute.
A lesson in instant Karma for NFU last night, the last three minutes they got exactly what they deserved. I actually agreed with the Norwood red though, when him and the goalkeeper jumped up he appeared to...
It's only a matter of time before her name, contact details etc are made public again now that he's found not guilty. I've been on Twitter for about two minutes and already seen plenty of tweets claiming she should be locked up, pay compensation, be generally named and shamed. Absolute morons.
