The Fordettes were very nice and every good wish to them. The black leather and hob-nailed boots were interesting.

 

ESL members please ensure you visit Barkingside when the Fordettes are there!

Well they seem such very nice people. I'd love to meet Uncle Urchin, Urchinho and everyone, and perhaps even raise a glass with them.

But they also have Steve West, who I remember as a bloody good centre forward although he was turned into a non-League international centre back.

Began at Concord, if I remember rightly.

Some referees might have given a yellow cazrd on the grounds that Cooper did not have possession of the ball, or indeed on the basis that a 40% chance is not a 'clear' goalscoring opportunity.

On the other hand the defender made damn sure that Cooper wouldn't get the ball and that contact was outside the area so he can't really grumble.

Was i watching another game,or were you,Tom S.....Cooper was running clear on goal(with the ball)when the solitary defender(who was 2 yards behind him,managed to grab hold of his shirt twice ,bringing him down on the edge of the box,thus preventing Cooper a clear goal scoring oppotunity.

I would also like to see a rule change ,where the ref could award a penalty and a yellow card.......Even more controvercial,How about giving the offending team the option of wether to take a red card,or let the ref award a penalty.

From my viewpoint the ball was ahead of Cooper, but that may have been the result of the first shirt-pull you saw. I obviously only saw the second. At that stage the ball had definitely got away from him even if only briefly. If I'd seen the first tug I'd have had a different opinion.

[Normans Wisdom]

No doubts in my mind. He was clear and the last defender did his duty. He can't complain it was pretty blatant.

Yes - but what about Coopers Injury?>
