If it starts i think it may not finish personally, i hope it all goes through but due to the fact the pitch may change get waterlogged during the journey there/ match itself im going to give it a miss, i hope for the sake of all those travellign it goes ahead and isn't abandoned 1/2 way through but i remember Horsham, and how pissed off i was on the way back!

[Guest RWG]

Not to worry us proper supporters will be there,I know our bones are old and ancient and the weather may get to them,but hey we will take some waterproofs with us.

Is it the weather or the price of petrol that puts you off ?

[AshbyRebel]

And todays positive RWG comment is ......

[Don Juan DeMarcus]

Unfortunately RWG the players are not wearing waterproofs, so if like Horsham, it pours down during the match it will still be postponed. If you had read my post properly the reason i will be giving it a miss it due possibility that the game will not start/ be brought to conclusion. And if Mr Brown and friends wished to put down the price of petrol im sure that would benefit us all.

What a game, Luke Evens given a straight red for a foul that was a yellow at most after about 15 mins.

 

Platt scored the first, Harper got a soft penalty and DJ broke his duck with a great shot.

 

Did not quite see their first, but it was a shot from the edge of the box infront of the goal, and there second was from a penalty for hand ball (think it came off Harper) but did not look that intentional but it was in the box so the ginger ref gave it.

 

Gumbs and Attrell came on at the end for DJ and Bubb.

 

Considering we were playing with 10 men for most of the game we were the stronger side and looks like Taunton might have problems this year.

 

Well done to all the team and now looking forward to the Cup next week where we will be a threat to Farnborough.

[Matt]

That was absolutely fantastic today.

 

Hard to comment on Evans' red card as I was about 90 yards away but the common consensus was it was very harsh.

 

For the next 75 minutes you really couldn't tell who had 10 men as we were the better side. If we'd had 11 I think we would have coasted it. Yes Taunton were a poor side but the fact remains they had a man advantage.

 

Really pleased for DJ as he's been waiting a long time for that first goal. He'd had a few chances beforehand too and it looked like it wasn't going to be his day again but then he scored a beauty from about 20 yards.

 

The whole team did well, the defence were outstanding and it's hard to pick a MOTM - been a while since we've said that.

 

Well done everyone.

[Reading Rebel]

As they were still playing at 3 minutes to 5 was there a lot of stoppages etc?

 

The bad news is Evans will be banned for the Farnborough game.

[Staines-upon-Thames Rebel]

Late start to both halves and a bit of injury time first half otherwise was 45 mins each way.

 

Evans will not miss Farnborough as the red will need time to kick in I belive? - can anyone confirm ruling on reds in league matches effecting cup games?
