Actually their social media complains of  TWO penalties they didn't  get One "most refs would have given" and another dead cert

Anyone at the game see anything that could have been a penalty?

I saw nothing to warrant a penalty.

Yes it would be good to have Nis and Josh back but as Glen say's our problems haven't really been at center back and right back.

Having said that IMO Josh Jackman would probably give us more going forward and a bit more height from set pieces etc.

More choice when it comes to team formations.

From memory the handball was in the first half, the ball bounced up and hit an arm, but was by there side and i don't think the player saw it, plus the ball rebounded to their striker who tried to score.

I'm guessing the second was when guy and their striker were tustling in the box and guy did enough but both were being physical.

Neither a pen in mine or the refs opinion.

Looking at the video looks like guy's hand ball in the 1st half was outside the box 2nd half he had his arm on chest no chance to get out of the way suppose VAR would give it third incident guy looked like he was tugging at there number nine how forcefully not sure but give the striker his due he stumbled on to get a shot at goal could easily of fallen down for possible pen.

Not sure they have reserved spaces for supporters, as a team (including everyone for the club) they have given us 10 spaces total to park at the ground.

Also they have advised us they don’t provide players with food after the game (the only team that has done this in the last 3/4 years), so we will not be going into the bar to put money behind their bar, win lose or draw.

Several posts on their social media saying its years since the bar has been so empty post match

Let's hope someone on their management can put two and two together!

Well I made the point to their owner (Terry) as I was leaving the ground (politely I might add) that I was disappointed they were the only club in this league that does not provide refreshments after the game for the opposition (they still feed their players) and he took offence at this told me I was fat didn’t need any food and to F Off..... what a delightful chap... I look forward to welcoming them and him in particular to our club.

After the incident against Weymouth they installed a bar behind the away stand that's where us supporters were hoarded to those teams coming over the winter period have no chance of getting a pint with frozen pipes.

As there supporters were leaving at the end of the game they were clapping us for the superb support we were giving our team.

That.s shocking attitude Neil

[sdelaney]

Didn't realise how close Francis was of getting a late winner with there defender nicking the ball away from him 2 yards out. Bet Jack was impressed with Sean's shot stopping when under the cosh and birdy.s header off the line and Jack.s free kick save top notch when seen on video.

We must provide them with an excellent post match meal plenty of senna  in the gravy!

Begs the question doesn’t it - do we reciprocate and not offer Maidstone any food after our home game with them, or do the right thing and offer it just as we would for any other club?

We can't stoop to their level.If that's the way they operate , good luck to them , but it won't win them many friends.

Don't forget our motto "Serve with honour" , and that includes food & drink.?
