The first try was the Shannon 1 on 1 that they regathered and went in under the posts. The second try which is the one I think you meant was on the line and clearly seen on the Sky footage that was shown at 9pm last night. The third try was as you say a tackle bust as Welham was expecting the pass to the centre (his man in fairness). I may be mistaken but I think one of the markers was left on the floor so was a man short of cover anyway.

red al, you may have been joking but in seriousness James Child didn't do a bad job at all and gave the correct calls 95% of the time. He tried to let the game flow but he was officiating two poorly disciplined teams. People shout for offside but the moment the ball touches the floor (not the foot) the ball is in play and so fans may think the players are offside but really they are just quick out the blocks. Agreed there are times when players push their luck and get away with it but then if he penalised everything that he could we'd still be watching the game now! A few forward passes that could have been pulled up too although he and the linesmen had better views of those than you or I. Would suggest he was relatively fair in his officiating and as stated above by Bishops finger when we were poorly disciplined the Londoners looked pretty good.

Clearly the injuries had a major effect on the game but I would have fully expected a win from Rovers no matter which side London put out there.
