Grimsby Town Tread

Well its started the pitch looks like a mud bath 
The Mariners having the better chances in the opening stages HT ...its somehow still 0-0......Grant had two grest shots saved.....wonder if City are watching the game.....
Listening on the radio and 0-0 at half time sounded like an achievement. First 35 minutes Stanley under intense pressure, with Ollie Wright earning his crust. But last ten minutes and Stanley sounded like they were getting things together, with good shot from Connor Grant being well saved.
Keep you heads, lads, and get Madden on for last thirty minutes.

Ville? Veuillez preciser.
Sounded like Stanley put up a good fight on a very difficult pitch but we?re undone by one good goal from a Championship loanee.
Well done lads, onwards and upwards.

A 1 nil loss away at inform Grimsby probably not a bad result.....Devon's red card and now missing 3 games.....he's going to be a big miss.......Oh well, 7 points needed for safety.....
Nothing wrong with the equaliser, very poor decision by the officials.
As for the sending off, looked like a good tackle on a slippery pitch.

Worth a thousand quid to appeal?
The bench will have had a good view, but who understands the decisions made by referees now at any level!
Harsh red card that one! I watched the highlight in normal time and it was definitely a classic 50/50 challenge. I watched it several times and still thought the same. I managed to freeze the video at 3 minutes and 9 seconds and I believe that Devon got the touch on the ball before the contact. At the ?frozen? moment Devon has his heel on the ground, so it cannot be classed as a high tackle. His toes are slightly raised at this point and that level of physical contact could be classed as a fair tackle with a degree of physicality which some would say could have warranted a yellow card. In my honest opinion it was a firm but fair tackle by a determined strong player and play should have continued with no stoppage in the match!
Most undeserved red cards seem to reflect the acrobatic expertise of the tackled player. In this case, I suspect the Grimsby player*s double pike convinced the liner and ref that it was worse than it was.
