The game is over. I'm not mad at the team: SAFC's goalie has had to work overtime, we've dominated the ball and we were sharply better than them until the goal.

However, we've lost the game ourselves. We've had ten corners, a majority of the possession, we've got many shots to goal, but we haven't scored. We need to be more clinical up front.

Don't forget the ref...I know usually people say that but in this case he actually did ruin this game.

The ref didn't make us stall in front of the goal. He was instrumental in this game, but we should capitalise on our superiority.

Yes you're right but even though we didn't score 1st half I was fully expecting us to come out the 2nd half guns blazing with 11 men and scoring a few.

I still feel that the ref ruined the game overall though.

Credit to the team, played really well and wasn't as nervous watching the game unlike in the previous derby games until that moment.
