- 25' 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 Eoghan O'Connell suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' The travelling Bolton Wanderers FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
