OK, so here is my ex- referee's assessment of the action yesterday.
First Swindon goal. Never a free kick as no contact at all. Poor defending from the free kick though resulted in goal
First U's penalty. Probably lucky we did not have a man sent off as the tackle on the Swindon goalie prior to the award of the penalty was atrocious. Foot in goolies?
Second U's penalty, debatable. When will players stop throwing themselves to the ground when running side by side. Again no real contact made to make him fall like he did.
Second Swindon goal. Probably the only decent move in the game that resulted in a "proper goal".
Swindon penalty. How the referee was able to judge this as a handball I just don't know? It certainly was not "hand to ball" as is the required basis for the decision. Defender's arm was in a prior position to allow jumping for the ball. Surely there was no intention.
With all of the above we still deservedly lost..... 1-0?
Luckily we are only in Div.2 because if we had VAR for this game we would probably still be playing..
Also luckily the Boss was in the stands for his earlier bookings. What would have happened yesterday with him on the sideline one can only imagine! |

What sort of prat is Cowley?
Didn't look like penalty and not much from the U's players but Danny Cowley, 60 yards away manages to get himself a yellow card. He really should sit in the stands..
So far so good although we should be further ahead than one goal. More this half please. |

There is only one game at home to Bradford City that I remember vividly.
30 Dec 1961, Colchester United v Bradford City, 9-1 to the super U's.
Can't remember ever chanting "we want TEN" since. |

Much as it would be great for Durham to have the result spot on, WE WANT MORE  |
