Having just watched the video two things stand out. First when Platty is flattened in the first half do a slow mo and watch the number 7’s right hand sneaky smack on the side of Platty’s head.
More important I keep watching the Hawker red card and I’m still scratching me head how it was red….or am I being biased here when I say it was more to do with the theatrics than the actual tackle ?.?

Opinions please

theatrics or not, awful challenge, over the top of the ball and down the front of his leg. Gave the referee a decision he didn't need to have to make.

Their second goal was nearly in next week let alone offside!

Just watched again on slowmo and it proves what a great game it is when we see opposites, but I still can’t make out actual contact with him.

As to their second goal I didn’t comment as I thought I was being stupid.

Not offside as was headed on by Kelly(I think)

Where was Plattys save at the end?

As an unnecessarily antagonistic aside, their ground was getting a lot of love on the socials.
Really?

I thought it was horrible.

Neat and tidy, obvs. But a new build in the middle of nowhere.
And the terrace we stood on behind the goal was below the level of the pitch and further sloped away as it went back.

Nice clubhouse and odd scout hut on one side. The covered terrace looked nice too, I'm guessing that this end went up as it went back. You know, like football terraces do. But given the style of the other end, I can't be sure.

The clock tower stand is nice and new too, but how odd to just have it poked up a corner. And whilst the clock is a nice touch, it has all the architectural merit of an out-of-town Morrisons.
Then the mega-dugouts, complete with the tossy seating, and finally some more below pitch level standing.

I did like the enormous mound over the fence up the other end though. Great for saving a tenner I guess.

Now, I'm aware that The Grove isn't exactly up there with the new Spurs stadium, and is generally described as "traditional" with all that this doesn't say, but I know where I'd rather watch my football.

I should have guessed that it would be 'orrible though. The sort of people they have looking after buildings in Derbyshire would make your blood curdle.

Meoowww! Saucer of milk for Tiddles please.

The mound of earth was the Erewash Druids Society Burial Mound - a Grade II * Listed Monument - I told you that on Saturday but would you listen?

As for maintenance of property in Derbyshire, I'm not having that either - I don't look after Derbyshire, just Derby. I told you that too!

And no, I missed my train!
