Only one side looked like winning today. Even though the ref did his best to make a game of it! I’m not sure I’ve seen an opposition keeper play so well and still concede 5, how it wasn’t 6 or 7 in the first half is beyond me! Green looked poor today and barely won any of his duels, his one highlight was a great assist, but in his own half he looked a bit of a liability. If it hadn’t been for some great keeping by Worner he would have been embarrassed at waving for an offside that was about 3yds on, to allow their lad a clean run at goal. Roberts was great and thoroughly deserving of the MOTM award, just for the taunting of their no7. at the end if nothing else, at least his name isn’t ex-potato or whatever their sub was called?!
Now to a rant I’ve had before:
What good reason is there for separating young children from their adults when going through the turnstiles? You market today as a community day, a day to support the hawks and get a bumper crowd in. You then expect young children to enter on their own into the melee where everyone, including numerous big geezers tanked full of booze, are either trying to buy half-time draw tickets; look at the stalls or just walk into the ground barely looking where they are going! The sole aim today was to get a bigger crown in, and you’ve just stuck young kids straight into that! It really isn’t good enough.
If the excuse is that it has to be done that way for the gate numbers to be right, then I’m sorry but that is all it is - an excuse. A child is going to get lost, hurt or worse and as far as I’m concerned the club will have contributed to it. Where else separates a child from their parents for the sake of admin?!
