We were much better second half. Kelly is a superb player and dominated the game. To restrict the opposition to no shots on target or even within our area is very promising indeed.

It happened right in front of the away end so most City fans there had a really clear view. It was a stonewall penalty. The ball was in front of Vincenti who had a clear sight for a shot on goal and would almost certainly have scored. As he went to strike the ball a Grimsby defender put his foot between Vincenti's foot and the ball. Vincenti therefore kicked the defender's foot and went over. I was certain the referee would give the pen as he was right on the spot. I couldn't believe it when he waved play on. If there was an injustice with the first goal (and I don't think there was), his decision to allow it only made up for the terrible decision with the penalty.Anyone seen footage of the 'stonewall' Vincenti penalty incident?
If so, does it confirm everyone's first impression?

Yes it's on the extended highlights. Clear penalty for me, and arguably a redAnyone seen footage of the 'stonewall' Vincenti penalty incident?

Absolutely nailed on pen. Thought McNulty was lucky not to get booked the way he ran after the ref and grabbed him while play was still going on.Was clear as day, he was stopped from striking the ball. I think we let the ref know our feelings at the time very well.
I love Kelly. An amazing wingman for Doyle. Although we dominated that game thought they still had 2 or 3 chances where they shouldn't just have hit the target but actually scored.We were much better second half.

Think Kelly and McDonald are going to become firm fans favourites.I love Kelly. An amazing wingman for Doyle. Although we dominated that game thought they still had 2 or 3 chances where they shouldn't just have hit the target but actually scored.
If they hit the target they still have to beat O'Brien :smuggrin:I love Kelly. An amazing wingman for Doyle. Although we dominated that game thought they still had 2 or 3 chances where they shouldn't just have hit the target but actually scored.
They were reduced to hitting high balls to a midget. I would be happy to have the same every week.
But in our division it will happen frequently.not just this division, Newcastle were doing this to Dwight Gayle earlier

It just shows the difference on skill level in Division 4. We have only had Dembele trouble us so far. And they didn't have anyone else good enough to help him. They were reduced to hitting high balls to a midget. I would be happy to have the same every week.
We used to do it all the time as kids / sunday league from corners, we would tap it outside of the area for corners and run away and pretend somebody else was taking it. Other player runs over and plays on
