Apparently not now & St Esteve go to Carpentras with only 15 players

and people wonder why the better clubs aspire to play in the British competition, travelling with 15 men is the kind of thing you see happening in the Barrow and District league.

No arguments about the red card and it was game over right there. Slightly concerned over the lack of organisation once Elima went - too few players seemed to know where they were supposed to be.



Barthau-watch: Didn't get much ball in hand, especially after the red card, but showed a few decent touches.

I think that was the right decision by Ganson but I'm not convinced Elima was malicious in his tackle; I'm inclined to believe he just got it all wrong. I don't think he should be banned.

Elima's never been noted for being a dirty player, but it looked awful. I expect a couple of games for that at least. Only his previous good record will save him from worse.

I can't and won't defend it. He led with the forearm/elbow to the head and that's a ban for mine.

I'll second that

Elima's tackle, I blame Walters.

At least you're consistent mate

Nah, if he was consistant he'd blame Bell!

And a very prompt report by our most under-rated contributor now [url=http://www.sang-et-or.net/readarticle.php?article_id=673online[/url

I have to agree with Ollis comments, I felt his shoulder was tight to his body, it was unfortunate that the lads head was down so low, Elima was commited and couldnt pull out of the tackle. I certainly didnt think a red was warranted. It was very similar to a challenge in the Wire Wigan game in which Morely cleaned up Hansen.

You wouldnt catch me making Steve a scapegoat!!!
