The fact you could see that from where you, KJ, just about sums up the ref’s performance!
However, that was an extremely nervy 95 minutes of football.
There was no Stanley MotM for me, but equally no-one who let the side down.
At times the goal mouth scrambles were like The Alamo and the Stanley players rarely looked comfortable, not least because Wimbledon closed them down quickly and in numbers.
I’m sure Wimbledon will feel they dropped two points whilst I reckon Stanley are mighty glad to come away with one.
Although Billy missed, I thought the penalty was a tad soft. It may have been compensation from the ref for booking Smyth earlier for diving when it looked more of a foul from the defender. Maybe the video will prove me wrong.
Wimbledon were generally quicker and stronger, and certainly bigger. Had to smile when Stanley were defending yet another free kick just outside the box and their “wall” consisted of Smyth, Clark, and Kee!
Over to the home fans now for the next two nerve-wracking instalments! I’m off to lie down in a darkened room.
