Please forgive me for saying this but Retford didn't play as dirty as I expected. The ref certainly awarded them 90% of the free kicks on the night but you can't blame Retford for a ref who saw very little of their fouls and seemed very much against Boston. Retford, I think, did have the majority of play but they did a lot of huffing and puffing without blowing the house down. And at the presentation Duffield walked around our players and shook their hands(watches and rings were checked for after the event). So some credit to them on the night, a different performance from them compared to our previous encounters. Now about Boston. BLOODY FANTASTIC. Special mention of Aaron Butcher. Made some terrific saves and looked solid. A great future prospect as No 1 keeper. Newshams goal, for me best goal of the season. Yates didn't skip down the left, he was like a rabbit, and his cross was perfect and Newshams touch was brilliant (his dad was so excited by it I thought he was going to have sex with me, pleased he didn't). A great all round performance by a side far too good for this league. Congrats to everyone especially the managers. Who can question their decisions now. I certainly wont.
Ps. Their big and bald No 6 was noticeable for his absence at the presentation. Expected to find him outside the ground waiting to sort out all the Boston fans. Do you know, if it wasn't for his temperament he could be a damn good player.
