Totally agree. Brainless. Equally brainless was Stockley's wrestling match in the penalty area with their big left back. He was very fortunate not to see red.

That number 6 was a nightmare ! Stockley was pulled around everywhere by him loads of times and the ref did nothing about it.
As I said earlier she should have gone 20 minutes before he finally was.

The first half was certainly painful to watch but a bit of reflection overnight has tempered my frustration.
FGR's passing looked good but we gave them a yard of space on the ball to make choices. That seemed to be deliberate on our part with the defensive midfield stopping them doing anything meaningful with all that possession. Two of the goals in the first match were down to being skinned and beaten for pace so maybe the choice was to cut channels rather than risk being turned due to an unsuccessful challenge.
FGR also looked heavy legged as the second half went on and our three subs were able to capitalise on that.
Fine margins 'though - and only 5 minutes from the shoot out lottery.
Still perturbed by how static we look at times and would love to see some moments where we have players ready to make runs and create options when the ball is in the opponents half (like we had in the purple patch last season). Here's a taste - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQiHHPZpAJY

Nothing should detract from the fact that we were 1 0 down with 10 men for a long period, booed off at half time and still managed to pull back and win the tie. Tremendous effort.

Sorry if I've missed it, but has anyone (Pete) commented on Christy Pym's 'attempt' to save their penalty?
You just did. A shocking ‘attempt’ wasn’t it ?

Great diving header from stockley. Scenes.
Poor foul from Tilson, deserved to go. Doige dived for their penalty but the defender shouldn't have given him the opportunity, he had over run it and was never going to score.

No he didn't JMT clearly pulled him back by the arm.
As I said - no complaints about the pen, but Doidge fell in the wrong direction in making sure the ref knew he was fouled.
