The very worst decision I’ve seen in my long life was the non-penalty against Gusto for kicking the BHA player in the head.

Sport was fabulous, comms was excellent(as always), the tv directors were awful. 22 players in two outfits on green grass and they give you an overhead shot for 10 or more seconds before identifying the hole and the match. My only complaint from a fantastic 3 days.

I've read most of the thread and the only point I haven’t seen mentioned is that Greaves will serve his 1 match ban at the next Ipswich game, as is normal. He will then be eligible for the replay, unless that match is his next. Unlikely.

So many blocked field goals tonight, I’ll not say where.
I’ve often thought, if it is a chip shot FG, why they don’t get the long snapper up. For a few extra yards it negates the block.

Most on bere know my opinion of bim but he was fine.
My only disappointment was the second yellow. Most refs would have just given the FK against a player on a yellow already.
A) Wirtz had played the ball to Hartman.
B) It was more of a trip than an ankle assault
The downside is he was off his feet.
