V Dartford H 18th January

[Reading Rebel]

The talk of Dartford bringing 200/300 was way out.

I'd say 100+ tops.

[Bernie Gogan]

Was close to the sending off, the ball clearly came off the Dartford player for our throw, who then argued against the decision and pushed the lino. Deserved red on 2 counts, the push and dissent.

One thing that hasn't got mentioned on this thread,is about the ref. Wasn't he finicky and over zealous giving out cards. I didn't see what happened regarding the sending off but the amount of yellow cards issued throughout the game was ridiculous, and while the game was competive and fiesty, it was hardly a dirty game. I'm surprised more players never got red carded given how many yellow cards were dished out. 

He was certainly quick to produce a yellow card when completely unnecessary.

Seen the video back, can’t see any push however pretty sure it was for something he says.

And it was Sanchez Ming not Nick Arnold, and is actually second time he has been sent off at Arbour Park, as he also got sent off for Dulwich in the Fa Cup game.

Easy to confuse the two ?

[Reading Rebel]

I wasn't looking so didn't see a push, someone next to me said he's pushed the lino.

Slowing it down to the point of contact from Wells's shot Dan Roberts looks onside.

Yesterdays gate was our 4th highest in 14 league games only Wealdstone Billericay and Dorking on the opening day have attracted more  Maybe Dartford brought more than 100 or maybe locals are beginning to realize how well the Rebels are doing and what the possibilities are.

I use a basic theory on how many away fans there are at AP. I counted roughly 70 behind the goal in both halves. I calculate the number behind the goal is 2/3 of the total away support so around 100 from Dartford would seem about right.

There was a definate two handed push on the lino when the decision did not go his way.

On a side note, i cannot recall seeing a red card issued before for an 'assault' on one of the officials.

 

[Irishadrian]

According to the Dartford forum the confusion between Ming and Arnold arose because they wore each others numbers as per the team sheet  Ming was sent off for " handling an official" and they are worried that he will get a long suspension since he has already served a five match ban for a similar offence

He played left back earlier this season here for Welling and I seem to recall him being a hothead then.  Max will know as they played at Staines together.

[Neil Baker]

Ha ha I will let you watch the highlights when they come out tonight and you will see what I mean ??

If only Sue was about you'd get a damn good thrashing Glen ?

Must be said shame about the off side goal as the build up for it was superb.

The gate last year for the same fixture on Sat 16th Feb was 701.This years gate of 854 was 22%up on that. Going in the right direction.

It wouldn’t be a straight comparison though, be interested to know each clubs positions and form?

[Reading Rebel]

Looking at the sending off, Ming definitely doesn't push the lino with two hands but looking closely it does look like he sticks one hand out towards the lino. 

Whether he makes contact only the lino or someone close up will know.

Trust me he pushed him, I was close by.

[michaelSTFC]

I remember watching some Welling highlights this seasonwhere Ming pushed an opponent over the hoarding after they both chased and couldn't reach the ball and got sent off there, so he has form.
