Long Eaton United v Mickleover Sports NCEL Premier DivisionMy choice -- as usual my choice was not a classy encounter ....but I learned how to count up to eight thanks to the ref and his yellow card brandishing!!
The teams took to the field in bright sunshine, but the teams tried their best to dim the light -- the first half was dull, dull, dull - not many clear cut chances. One yellow card shown to the visiting no. 11.
H-T 0-0
The Mickleover no. 9 was booked three minutes from the restart, and then the home no. 5 was booked on 50. The Mickleover no. 5 saw yellow on 62.
Adam Newton put the home team in front in the 70th minute, a great acrobatic volley from 10 yards after a decent spell of pressure. Then came a rush of yellow cards -- Mickleover no. 6 on 73, no. 8 on 75 and no. 2 on 77. Long Eaton sub no. 15 was booked on 80, making a grand total of 8 cautions in the game. A few niggly challenges and a couple of nasty ones, but 8 yellows? Strange refereeing...
The visiting team levelled on 82, Holmes' corner appearing to be flicked home, but could have gone straight in ...we were at the other end of the pitch!
F-T1-1 (yellows 2-6)
