  • 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Gillingham FC is hosting Southend United FC for another epic battle.
  • 5' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Mark Byrne suffering a number of foals already.
