Re: Re: Barnet Match Thread
 

As I said earlier in the thread it was their left back who committed the foul Davids got the second booking for. Ref had a shocker - linesman was worse though he had a clear view of it and didnt tell the ref!

Re: Barnet Match Thread
 

Point I was making is who the hell could he be mistaken for?

Was Terence Trent Darby playing left back?

Re: Barnet Match Thread
 

With the standard of officials in Div 2, wouldn't shock me if twas a 3Ft white midget that commited the offence.:D Can someone tell me "WHY" if these clowns are bombed outa the premiership, They are then "Good Enough" fer the lower divisions? That to me is n insult to the lower clubs,:(

It wasn't the wrong man. Davids had his back to the ref and lifted his knee. It happened right in front of me.

He lost the appeal:

... but got lost of deserved publicity for sending the team bus back to pick up stranded supporters on the M6 after the match:

Re: Barnet Match Thread
 

well i hope transport police got footage of an overfull bus ....

seriously though, stories like these, and players having a whip round for supporters lager, are what makes lower league football special.
