Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Blackpool FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 14' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Tom Carroll.
  • 19' The travelling Blackpool FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 24' Alex Hartridge is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Blackpool FC so far.
  • 29' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Gary Caldwell will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 34' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 39' Tom Carroll has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 14 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 44' Reece Cole has been relatively quiet despite scoring 11 goals in his last 10 appearances.
  • 49' Exeter City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 49.
  • 51' Poor challenge from Christopher Hamilton. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 56' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 61' A quiet spell here at St. James Park. Blackpool FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 65' Exeter City FC ring the changes. Demetri Mitchell has done his job and it is now time for Vincent Harper to step up.
  • 66' Matty Virtue is replacing Albie Morgan for the Blackpool FC side.
  • 71' A change in the Exeter City FC ranks — Reece Cole exits the field as James Scott enters on 71.
  • 76' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 81' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Exeter City FC and Blackpool FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 82' James Scott has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 82.
  • 87' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 88' The crowd applauds Jack Aitchison as he leaves the pitch. Sonny Cox steps in for Exeter City FC.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-0.
