How nice to read a thread which is actually discussing THE GAME!

 

Bearing in mind rose tinted glasses and all that, John Hickman caught the ball cleanly before being bundled over the line.

 

Shirt pulling ? Didn't see much of that but then again I closed my eyes everytime you got near our goal.... I wondered why it was so dark!

Just got home...

 

OK it was never going to be a classic of free-flowing attacking football, the game was more than scrappy. Town's passing was poor most of the time, due mainly to the Abbey's closing down and denying us any time on the ball. The Abbey no 4 with the armband annoyed me - far too any well-timed tackles!

 

That's about it - Abbey did a job, shut us down, took their chance well and got a flukey second at the death, Town huffed and puffed but couldn't create much. Should have had a penalty, from where I was standing, but hey that's life.

 

Ref was bad (I don't say that often). I was very dissapointed with Seb's action in kicking the ball out for a throw in instead of returning it to the Abbey keeper after a "drop ball" in the first half. I hope Jim and/or his colleagues explain something about sportsmanship to him. It led directly to the second goal, when the ref decided to stop the game (yet again) for attention to an "injured" Abbey player, with Town in possession. The "drop ball" was not contested and the Abbey player was asked to return the ball to Chopper. Understandably he also kicked it out for a throw in near the corner flag and from that phase of play the goal came.

 

The other stuff has been done to death, let's all move on.

One day, a player is going to say to hell with the consequences and shoot to score from one of the many drop ball situation, especially as the league title could be at stake.

 

Makes you wonder!

 

What would then happen? All hell would break loose but the player had done nothing wrong in the eyes of the Laws of the Game. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/argue.gif" alt="" />

More pleased to beat Dagenham because they ARE a big scalp.?? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/bow.gif" alt="" /> You becoming a right little wind-up. Your scamp. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/top.gif" alt="" />

You can't seriously concider playing Dagenham reserves in the Essex senior MORE important than a possible title decider.? Or is that because you know their no chance of promotion ,so maybe a senior cup MAY be the more important. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/pipe.gif" alt="" />


I can't sleep and nor can Gazza by the look of it......
Just noticed I'm a scamp!!

At the end of the day the result will be recorded as Dagenham & Redbridge V Waltham Abbey irrespective of who they put out will it not?
Nothing to do with promotion and cups just big games. Yeading are top, does that mean they are not bothered about Newcastle?

Last one, "a possible title decider"

 

Every game is a title decider is it not? When the 3 points game comes that is needed to win the league then it is a title decider in my book. You, us or anyone else could be playing London Apsa et al. (No disrespect just needed a name) In the way of your point of view half way through the season two top sides are deciding the championship now? Long way to go yet, we could all fall away stranger things have happened.

I'm laughing dont panic!

 

 

Today at an international conference peace broke out in the ESL as warring local clubs ETFC and WAFC put to bed their differences. Too much sugar was added to the tea at Capershotts over the weekend resulting in mass confusion. Abbey said it was in revenge for not enough tomato sauce in the burgers at brimmobaeu 2 seasons ago. Both teams have agreed to shop asda in future.................
