I was at the match and thought it was quite a good game but a game of 2 halves.
We should have been at least 3 up by half time and said to my friend that we might rue those missed changes.
I thought the match officials were quite good compared to what we have often had. It may be my one-eyed view that Stevenage got most of the 50/50 decisions.
I also thought that Stuart was impeded for the first goal.
We deserved at least a point based on our first half performance.

Doing the PA, from the, top of the main stand, you can see a lot more of what goes on on the pitch.

I wouldn't say the ref changed the outcome but he did seem to miss a lot of holding by the Stevenage players, particularly on Dale

[AltyTunnelSteward]

Resulting from this, his inept decision was to award a drop ball when clearly we had possession prior to the stoppage which Alty could have fairly expected the Stevenage side to return the ball to ourselves. This point was made quite clearly by Lawton but the ref waved away his protest.

While I understand your point about the drop ball, particularly given that so many are now uncontested the Law does not allow for an uncontested drop ball.

The 'uncontested' ones that are seen so frequently do tend to result in the ball being returned by one side to the other but again there is nothing to say that this is compulsory, in fact the fact that both teams chose to contest it makes it unlikely to say the least.

I fear that to expect other teams to do what we would expect our players to do is at best helpful and at worst naive.

Also, surely if neither Danylyk nor the Stevenage player were allowed to return to the field of play (can't comment on the correctness or otherwise of this) then we cannot have been any more disadvantaged than them , both being a player missing?

We have had far worse ref's than yesterday but when it
goes wrong & we lose let's blame the ref.He didn't get
everything wrong he did give us the penalty & why did
some of our fans turn their abuse on their keeper when
we went behind,I thought the lad was brilliant in the
first half.

Ecky,

As always, it was a privilege to have you alongside us in the main stand yesterday.

Some quality heckling of Dino Maamria by Ballers and your good self!
