Studs down the calf, rubbish, it's a good job Rosey didn't get on, then we'd have been talking about studs down the calf!
The downside of the Government not funding decent road or rail links to far flung places like Boston and the Fens is that no-one leaves town and everyone goes to home games one week and watches the reserves the next so they don't know how to see a game from an away perspective.
In the first half behind me in the stand was a local who shouted everytime the referee gave us a decision "Let it flow ref" and called him "whistle happy". Oddly he only shouted that when the play was stopped in our favour and never when it was a free kick to Boston.
I'm happy to believe that he typifies the majority of the Boston support and thats why the large contingent behind the goal went absolutely loopy when Scott went for the ball and your defender put himself in the way and ended up getting hurt.
I'm not surprised that no-one will accept that the defender put himself in harms way and engineered the sending off. As our manager said, he'd rather have Scott go for the ball in those situations than be put off by a defender and let the keeper tamely collect the ball.
I'd like to see your defender try that up against a more experienced player and not a 17 year old kid, then if he went down crying he'd stay down.
