The B-Ark / Jim Harvey - disgrace
« on: March 10, 2012, 08:51:39 PM »
For those who weren't there or didn't see it, when Newsh scored the first he ran over to his brother in the stand to celebrate. As he ran past the Stalybridge dugout, their manager Jim Harvey tripped him.
You don't even see that at schools level football. Appalling behaviour by such an experienced manager and he should get a long touchline ban as a result. He certainly needs to make a public apology to Newsh and BUFC.
He got what he deserved with the result, let's hope he gets an appropriate punishment as well.
I'd like to hear Mr Stretton's reason for not sending Harvey to the stand (as well as his explanation for all the injury time - we played 105 minutes today and have another game on Monday!)
Tim Ryan also let himself down by mouthing off to the crowd. The stewards did well in a difficult situation but they were told (and told us) that Ryan would be kept in the dressing room for the second half, but he then wasn't. I assume that was down to the ref, who clearly thought we wanted to watch him. His most bizarre decision was saved for last - he booked a Staly player apparently for taking a free kick (time-wasting? they were 3-1 down 8 mins into injury time!) then made them re-take it and they scored from the second attempt.
