Thoughts of Eton Manors Manager about today's game against Basildon:-

 

Today was one of those games when everything goes against you!The penalty against us in about the 85th minute was disgraceful. Carl Prince (Manor Keeper) was kicked and elbowed from behind he retaliates in a sly kick back (got the ball in his hands and the ref gives a penalty) Surely referees should be promoted or relegated and this weeks ref would be relegated. Last weeks ref was superb, let the game go spoke to the players and if a player gave him verbal then he simply gave it back. It is a mans game but some of these refs talk to you like your an 8 year old and are more interested in silly things than serious things. How is it that assistant referees can stop a game to tell the ref there's 4 standing in the dug out but cant see a two footed challenge from 5 yards. I'm proud of the boys with their commitment they put into today's game and I feel for Carl because he's not a dirty player and I know he will have a couple of sleepless nights because of his honesty. Again we have proved we can play a bit and talking to Dave Rolfe and Mark Jenkins after the game they both only had good things to say about The Manor. We are now getting respect from other sides where in previous seasons Manor were an easy 3 points. If we keep this side together who knows what we could do next season. I've only seen a couple of today's results Ilford and Enfield drawing 2-2 my outsiders Romford winning again and I heard Stansted gave APSA a good hiding good luck to my old mate Mercer.The run in will be very interesting and we ourselves could have a say in the who wins it, we have still to play Romford Ilford and Concorde twice. Should be fun, but please don't send that ref back, I cant take the stress.

 

Best Wishes

I've wondered that several times this season. Linesman should be assisting the referee and protecting the players instead of being over zealous.
