The referee should have blown for a foul on McKeown. Because he didn't it does suggest he thought their player was doing nothing wrong. He then gets pushed to the ground (having "done nothing wrong") so I can see an argument for saying the ref cocked it up.

As an aside McKeown was an absolute idiot for pushing him like that.

Agree with all this. It was a free kick to Town and their player should have been booked for deliberately and repeatedly getting in the way of McKeown. It would have been a travesty of a decision to give a penalty however, if you do something daft like that you invite the ref to make that awful decision and we all know that a lot of refs in this division love to be the centre of attention.

You can't really tell from the duff camera angle, but there really wasn't anything close to enough force to have sent the bloke sprawling to the floor in the way that he did. I've seen people going on about McKeown "raising his arms in arms in an aggressive manner" - do me a favour.

Eastleigh were a bunch of diving illegitimates and I'd be ashamed to see town players acting like they were.

Any input from Clem really isn't worth commenting on.
