Great perfoemance.  Sousa is certainly not afraid of taking people on.  Taylor looks to be enjoying his football.  Gets into some good positions. I think his goal was overshadowed by Hunt's but that diving header was class.  He had a lot of ground to make up to get to it.  So much so that the keeper didn't think it was a threat and stood there. Hunt's first ever pro goal was very special.  Our Harry's shot was a cracker from range.  Boy if that had crept in (keeper was beaten).  Would have been the goal of the season.

Quoted from EvilFish
I thought it was very harsh at the time, but looking at the highlights he doesn't just go to block his face, he waves both arms in an arc in front of him.

Both handballs look deliberate to me, but done in a manner to try to look like they aren't.


You can't get away with doing star jumps whenever you try to block a ball. Widdowson was fortunate that he was a few yards further back in the 4th minute.

If you go to block with your arms out like that 6 yards from goal, your intentions to deny a clear goalscoring opportunity can't be doubted.

You can't star jump and expect to get away with it, the second was basically a keepers save to block a shot which is as deliberate as it gets so was definitely a sending off. Can see how Barnet might feel hard done by but there are things you just can't do and get away with, I'd have more sympathy if the ball was kicked directly in his face while on his feet and not diving to block the shot with his hands.

….plus I doubt the Barnet fans could see that well down at the Osmond through the players


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
