- 5' Livingston FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 5.
- 10' 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 Bruce Anderson suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jack Fitzwater made 65 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
