  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Rotherham United FC to score. At the same time, Birmingham City FC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 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 Jamie McCart suffering a number of foals already.
