I have now managed to watch the game again on Sky plus and two things in particular struck me. Firstly, we were not as bad as I thought at the time, it was in fact a very even game except for the first 15 mins or so. Mohsni was very unlucky not to score, Mkandawire should have scored, Britt had one disallowed (it was just offside) and Corr had one cleared off the line too. We appeared to have no luck whatsoever.
This brings me to my second point, the Ref gave us nothing, not a sausage, *ugger all!!!
Two good penalty shouts turned down, both on Britt, the first one being a 'stonewall' penalty. In the second half Clohessy was brought down right on the edge of the area, again no free kick given. Their second goal, even though Zoners are slagging off Bilel, he was definitely fouled in the build up, again no free kick.
Unbelievably, we were only given Two (yes Two!!!!) free kicks in the entire match. So on another day, things could have been so different.
So if you attended the game and you get a chance, watch it again, it was a lot closer than you might have thought, even Peter Beagrie was questioning the decisions and the commentators were generally saying we at least deserved a goal and praised our efforts.
It was still a great day though. It was good seeing so many familiar faces at the Green Man and what a sight in the stadium, 32,000 Blues fans (and guests!!) really brought a lump to my throat (ooh er!!)
And oh yes, Straker really did find a red shirt more often than a blue!!
