  Cumbernauld 1 v 0 St Anthony's  

 

This game was absolutely dire, the only goal of the match coming from the spot, A trainee referee who tried his utmost to impress the supervisor by stopping play at 30 second intervals to punish every minute indiscretion. I dont blame the young official for adding to the games demise I blame the powers that be look for robotic performances rather than good old fashioned common sense. If this is the future of refereeing demanded by it's associated then the future will see empty stadia because no person in their right mind would pay to watch this drivel where the referee and not the players are centre of attention. Having little or no action to describe apart from, Free Kick, Free Kick, the 18 minutes of similar fodder a shot 5 yards wide of target by 8. Free Kick, Free Kick, I think you've got the idea by now. 26 minutes gone Williams came close. 30 minutes gone, Penalty to Cumbernauld when McDonald, tried to clear the ball which bobbles away and he catches the striker at the edge of the box. Unlike Tuesday nights pen, no complaints, and 2 gives gives a little bit of cheer giving Turner no chance with a well placed shot. Ants almost strike back immediately, Abou header to back post met by Henderson who watches as his header is cleared off the line by 5. Now were in for a game, action at last. Free Kick, Free Kick, 11 almost woke the crowd right on half time but his shot from 18 yards went inches wide. Surely the second half must improve. Free kick, Booking, Booking, Sub for Ants, Free Kick, Sub for United, Free Kick, Blatant time wasting by the United Keeper, Wait a minute a scramble in the United six yard box cleared. Need i go on, Sorry!, Donald Sent Off for a second Yellow, All Remaining Subs used. More outrageous timewasting by the united keeper. But this is where the young official steps in to save the day, He allows 2 mins and 47 seconds added time to thankfully put him, his supervisor and the brave souls that stayed to the end out of their misery. Thanks Son, hope you have a successful career as a top whistler and roboteer.
