Terrible behavior from the LCFC Manager.  Chewing out the Assistant and then the Ref.  LCFC have only themselves to blame.  They had some great chances to score from what I saw on TCE's highlights.  Plus IMO the LCFC red card was correct.

Red Card really has divided opinion with everyone.

Looked at that red card a few times and cant make my mind up.

 

Reaction to the Referee at the end is wrong...tough game to run.

Red Card really has divided opinion with everyone.

 

As a Referee myself TCE, I saw it as a red.  Correct decision by the AR.

I love TCE's blog comment:

 

"At the end of the game the Hertford players ran towards their loyal travelling fans and celebrated their win with manager Paul Halsey jumping in and joining the bundle too. These were fantastic scenes and shows what non-league football is all about in that there is a special bond between the players and fans at this level the Premier League just can't replicate"

 

Spot on!

Great footage TCE.

 

In my humble opinion, it's an obvious red. There was clear aggression and intent and he connected with an elbow, despite trying to half disguise it. Nothing to complain about for London Colney, would've looked a lot better if they just accepted it and got on with it. And to be fair, the Hertford player didn't even make a meal of it, credit to him.

 

What followed from London Colney was embarrassing and I really couldn't see their argument. But nothing was as embarrassing as 7mins 24secs when the Hertford player nearly rolled all the way back to Hertford after a nothing challenge! It's amazing to see it creeping into ssml level, players trying to con the ref. They have a tough enough job as it is, but the mangers/players screaming and over reactions to fouls make the refs job extremely difficult. I'm the first to get on the refs back because frankly I don't think they're good enough at this level, but this one did very well and actually managed to not let the game get out of control, when quite a lot of others would have.

My brother was at the Buckingham Edgware game. Said Edgware were very poor. Did the long Tuesday game make them worse. Said have keeper didn't even arrive until kick off. Surely a 1 off. He said Buckingham were organised on the worst pitch playable but the man of the match was the Edgware right back who he definitely said had a Buckingham shirt on underneath!

 

If the Cod army continue in good form could be an interesting end to the season. Everyone likes to drop points at the business end!!!
