Iโm biased but for me this is a pen! This is given as a free kick anywhere else on the pitch. A premier league referee yesterday also, probably waiting for VAR to make the decision for him.
Just on coach home. Emotional tonight but so proud of what we achieved. We built a team from scratch, put 3 teams together to finish the comp and took a full time league 2 side all the way. Couldnโt be prouder tonight. Time to have a break before we go again.

This boy brought me to tears tonight! Iโm his biggest critic, but Iโm his biggest fan. Took an horrendous whack, but just carried on & to save the pen shows how special he is. Not only a great kid, but very talented & I am so proud of him tonight. Well done

Iโm not blaming the referee today as gave us a joke penalty but in general I have no idea whatโs going on. The level of officials is so bad. Most games everyoneโs saying how bad they are & itโs worrying. Yellows galore, 100โs of free kicks a game. Something needs sorting! Asap

Brilliant away performance today and great to pickup 3pts. Jacob was excellent coming back in & a real positive but really disappointing to lose Jonesy to a bad tackle. Fingers crossed for him. Special mention to the support today. Excellent numbers & good noise throughout ๐๐
