it’s always curious trying to guess who is who on YF
I always thought benchwarmer was a big red head from pLands( who I rate ) but no it’s not , I have a lot of time for there coach . The intel I’ve received, which I hope is false , was of a sub who came on on but before he did all he did was try and influence the ref to send off a young talented player
Hopefully I’m wrong

Sorry I didn’t wait around 15 minutes after making a post just to see if someone had posted to me ?, I must remember to hang around next time!
I’m not here to get into an argument based around what went on and what didn’t go on, and it’s definitely not my style to attack people on here.
For yesterday’s game Western were the better team and you deserved the 3 points this time Broonie. I don’t think we had a single shot on target and being our first game (and unable to get any full meaningful trainings in during this time either) for 3 weeks it was always going to be a struggle.
The first half was a lot more even until the defensive lapse just before half time that your guys took full opportunity of. Having switched off again we were lucky it wasn’t 2 before the break.
What was very disappointing was a couple of cheap shots that were not called by the referee in the middle, one of our guys was left concussed and had to be withdrawn following an elbow to the back of the head! Whether this was intentional or not only the player in question would know, but if the incident had of been the other way round then the Western bench would have been calling for a card too!
In the second half we didn’t come out to play and you guys took full advantage. So fair play there.
Both teams were very lucky to finish with 11 players following the flash point in the second half, with players from both sides rushing in and raising their hands. This is something we were highlighting at the time too and we’d have had no complaints if our player had been sent as well as yours. Interestingly one of the linesmen admitted seeing a few incidents but the ref said that as he didn’t see them he couldn’t do anything (is this not why the AR’s are there?)
Having lost a couple of players you certainly seem to have kicked on (funny how that happens as we’ve had similar earlier in the season and Chch Utd seem to have recently too).
Well done yesterday, and with Halswell’s result the title is back on for you guys.
