Apparently, the laws say that the opposition player is onside only if the ball is 'played' to him by the defender. Deflections shouldn't count as 'playing' the ball, apparently, though the laws aren't exactly specific about it. Ultimately, it was down to the referee's interpretation of the incident which it seems was probably wrong. Despite that, we defended badly on that occasion - play to the whistle!

Hearn didn't have his best game but still scored one, should have had at least two and completely skinned their defence to put in dangerous crosses on a couple of occasions. Just one of those days, unfortunately, where a below-par performance wasn't good enough to get the points due to missed opportunities.

Fouling and time-wasting aside, I think Braintree also played some decent football at times so I don't begrudge them a point too much.
