Harrogate Town boss Simon Weaver insists it would have been a farce if Saturday’s Skrill North clash with Boston United had been abandoned.

Weaver has been a bit over-critical of us in his interview with the Ripon Gazette:

The report also says that if Harrogate win on Sat then they will be in the play offs; which is WRONG as if we win we stay above them regardless of their result.
"And a win at fourth-placed Brackley Town this Saturday would guarantee Weaver’s men a spot in the play-off zone for the first time since September."

ahh Ripon Gazette. Just as good as our echo, can take one interview on a saturday and put that many spins on it throu the week by the following week its completly different to the interview

He is moaning about DG now, what would he have said if we had taken Gallinski off and the game had been abandoned?

.....but they would overtake Brackley and hence the statement is correct. They would be there now if they hadn't cocked up their registration of players at the start of the season :-)

Gallinski should have been taken off, by keeping him on only exposed him to the risk of a more serious injury.
Weaver should keep his big trap shut and be thankful that the foolish DG thought Weaver was playing the white man by saying his players would avoid Gallinski if he stayed on the lawn so that Harrogate would get the points.

I liked Duncan Browne's take on it... "rules is rules":

Basically, the referee followed the letter of the law to send off the 2 players, but ignored the rules when Galinski received treatment - he should have gone off, and then the game abandoned.
