Northampton Town v Exeter City Matchday Thread - Kick off 2-00 PM

Purrington on for Rankine

 

[Bridgy 81]

Today is this ref’s first ever League One match according to @Hants_red ’s Exeweb preview piece.

How on earth can the ref give the ball back to them after that? WE had the ball in THEIR 18 yard box and he blew the whistle?

That's the correct protocol, if the ref blows for head injury while ball is in the penalty area, ball is given to the defending team for the restart.

He's given a load of cards in only 30 matches this season!

Niskanen goes to ground too much for me, he’s always on his arse.

 

[Hants_red]

Cole on for Richards

 

[antman]

This commentator is a cut above the others and the assistant is also good.

 

[KentGrecian]

Caldwell and Perks are quite the touchline act

 

[denzel]

Wycombe drawing means we are up to 11th as it stands

Correct protocol or not, farcical
