This had to be one of the worst 45min that any side wearing chessey shirts have played.

I dont know what it was like to play in but to watch the first 45min as part of the Management team it was a nightmare,you name it we were doing it.
If you had been looking at this there is no way that you would have thought that most of our players had played at a senior level we couldn't pass to a blue shirt,we were not making tackles,the formation was something the players themselves invented and to top all that we had another keeper who had a nightmare.
The only surprise was that we only found ourselves 2-0 down at half time.

Half -Time South Park 2-0 Chessington & Hook Utd.

I know what was said in the dressing room at half time and to say a few choice words were used and a few home truths were told are putting it mildly.
Whatever was said seemed to have worked as for the next 15 min we battered South Park and through two headed goals from Matt Ellis And Dave Francis we found ourselves level and we started to look a descent side again.
The ref was not helping things or letting the game run he would give a free kick then call the player to him even if he was 20yds to 30yds away.
Chessington seemed to have turned the game around but again we defended really badly and South Park went back in front 3-2.
The one thing we have got in our side is goals and man of the match and captain Jimmy Harding again led by example and leveled the scores 3-3.
The diffrence this second half to the first is that we wanted to win this game now and it looked like we had when Matt MacKenzie headed in from a corner to give us the lead 3-4 and we were unlucky when Theo Woodhouse hit a volley that came back off the bar,then a Chessey defender gave away a unnecessary free kick in an off the ball clash out wide and South Park knew our keeper was having a mare with any ball into the box so they played it in and leveled the game again with no one challaging the South Park player who had a clear header at goal.4-4.
The game was not helped when the ref sent off Basri Morrally for a tackle from behind when he had won the ball and then within 10 mins sent off a South Park forward for kicking the ball away applying the letter of the law instead of common sense because he was being assessed.
It now seems that every game the refs are being checked by the F.A.and in turn the refs are applying the letter of the law and not common sense,so the question must be asked as to why the F.A. put so much pressure on a ref ?
