Ninos Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 This isn’t Derby v Man U ... it’s Cheong FC v Luke Thomas FC. Lol Thomas already set up 2 relatively good goals that were missed ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Sagan Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Man United are bottom of the table so it's vital not to lose this or we're in much bigger danger. 1-1 with five minutes left with the Rams down to 10 men after a ridiculous sending off to match the terrible penalty call. You get the feeling the ref and Premier League might not want Man Utd relegated... Edit: Lewis Walker treated for a head injury and the referee orders him off the pitch after treatment (which shouldn't happen if I recall the rules) and then doesn't let him come back on. And then bizarrely gives Man Utd a freekick in a very dangerous position but it comes to nothing. Injury time on top of injury time. But finally 1-1. Good point in the circumstances.

ossieram Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Do you think the ref noticed that we were playing on the Bobby Charlton pitch and decided that it meant united weren't allowed to lose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnero Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 It was a classic case of a referee dazzled by the fact he was reffing Man Utd.... blatant dive for the penalty followed up by multiple soft yellow to Derby players and topped off with a disgrace of a red card decision.

angieram Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 Just got in from St George's Park. I do enjoy going there to watch the football. I thought our young team did us proud, although it was a scrappy match, not helped by some really pernicketty refereeing. We seemed to be a bit wary of taking the game to United in the first half. After a bright start a couple of un-necessary bookings from the referee made us hesitant and it wasn't a surprise when a penalty was given against us. I would like to see it again as at opposite end of pitch to us but it looked like a block even though the player was looking for it. Second half I thought we were really bright, Babos and Cresswell came to life and Walker started to win the aerial duels. It was a cracking header from him for a well-deserved equaliser. We looked the team more likely to go on and win it so such a shame when Cresswell was sent off. That looked harsh to me and if the referee had been a bit more sensible early doors it wouldn't have happened. Manchester United inevitably had more of the ball afterwards but we defended well and still had a couple of good chances. Thomas played well (though again a bit stymied by his early booking) but I thought the whole team played well together and can be righty pleased with their workrate and willingness to battle for each other. With a whole team of under 23s out on loan (I'm sure that also applies to United but they're a bit richer than us!) we still have a lot of talented players out there. COYR!

Does the Bobby Charlton pitch have it's grass grown overly long one side and rolled over to cover the sparse patches on the opposite wing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
