This was a game that flattered Whyke by a long shot. The reason why Mangers get so disillusioned with the game of football.
The boys went in at half time 2-nil down, Whyke scored 12 mins into the second half to make 3-nil.
What really upset me is that the boys fought back to make it 3-1 and was still pushing forward for another when Tommy Barratt our striker was put clean
through with only the keeper to beat when a Whyke defender brings him down with a nasty tackle taking the lad out of the rest of the game.
Surely the defender should of been sent off or at least booked? Whyke's linesman stuck his flag up but the Ref ignored it.
I did ask the Ref about the incident after the game but he said he was unsighted at the time. I felt that if Tommy had scored then the game could have been
different, now we will never know. Well done to all my players for not reacting after this happened. I don't know if the Ref was affiliated but its things like this
that make the game hard to understand sometimes. We move on next week. |
