  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Tony Macaroni Arena!
  • 5' Richard Foster has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 264 appearances.
  • 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 Steve Lawson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 14' A stunning finish from Joe Shaughnessy — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 19' Scott Tanser has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 19 cards already picked up this season.
