[Exile on Spencer St]

Didn’t see the game but one thing I know is that Stanley are not and have never been a cynical or over-physical team. At the moment they’re young and keen and maybe lacking in professional guile when it comes making challenges.

However, I sometimes wonder if referees take a look at the ‘disciplinary’ table (below) when they get notice of a game involving Stanley and think “blimey, everyone else is doing it, I’d better keep my yellow card handy for this lot”.

What’s known as a self-fulfilling prophecy.
