I'm sure if an mk player did the same as Stockley we would all be spitting feathers Sadly a deserved 3 + match ban..

It looked accidental to me Spit he was just planting his foot to help the guy up.

Of course Stockley will get a ban as unfortunately I've seen some photos of the incident on Facebook with our fans gloating. So you know the mk fans will put pressure on the fa to act:-(

I actually thought the ref did quite well last night must be an impossible game to ref decision was hotly disputed

Security checks always look worse around the non main stand areas usually they just wave you through in the main stand

I would doubt the security checks will spread/escalate - not exactly like we see/hear a mounting list of people bringing in contraband items. Personally not sure it's even necessary for that fixture but I understand the duty of care and it possibly helps to balance out security checks on the plastic fans so as not to show discrimination against the morally challenged.

4 clean sheets and 8 points at a possible 12 at home is a solid start to the season. We could do with being stronger in attack but we created chances yesterday which is more than can be said about other games so far. Only caught a little of the game yesterday but the referee was very poor. Way too quick to whistle and what's the point of this 5 second rule at throw ins. Never actually used.

Missed TWO golden chances first half, gotta convert at least one of those......being 'kettled' by the police on the way to the station afterwrads so the away fans could leave was unfortunate!

OI - security checks were just the wand, which I guess picks up metal like knives and guns (I brought neither on this occasion, so they let me in…) - basically the same as you get at court when you’re on jury service, minus the walk-through arch thingy…

Mark L - me too :(

Some of them came as empty seats

A4E - they do do retrospective bans in Div 1. If they do one, sadly I fear he will get a ban

Anyone know how many Franchise fans - clearly not the 950/sold out they are claiming

What were the security checks Laurence? Pat downs?

I do hope yesterday was not a pre-cursor to more security checks in the main stand every match hidden under 'Martyn's Law'?

Looking closely at the highlights, I’d say that if the ref saw the potential penalty handball by the MK player, he must have decided that it hit his arm at the top, not far enough down to make it a handball offence… As for the Stockley challenge on their player right at the end of the first half, there’s no penalty there either, he just touches the player on the shoulder, who then decides to throw himself to the floor. I do hope there aren’t retrospective punishments for offences not seen at the time, because Stockley could well get a ban for deliberately standing on Gilbey’s leg - a really stupid thing to do. Stockley was about half a toenail’s length from reaching that lovely Richards cross - it would have been a perfect goal for him to score, but at least we didn’t concede late, so a point is OK. Weirdly, if we had scored one goal, we’d be in second place with a negative goal difference.

A lack of strikers i presume, Stockley inefective for most of the game, fouled every time he went for the ball but we continue to lump the ball forward. Certainly missing Tilley. Jackson still lacking a plan B. We don't seem to have the confidence to play on the deck unfortunately.

I worked out I had a Franchise fan near me in the first half (wasn't wearing colours). Didn't see him second half. No idea how he got into Cappagh Stand.

We stand win Stockley

And have only got debentures, not STs.

Every time we have a home match, Trig, even though we haven't been to one for about eighteen months.

Anybody else get the tone deaf matchday experience survey email?

AI gets it wrong again in OTD. Hounslow Town always played at home in Red and Black halved shirts. I was a regular at Denbigh Road in the fifties.
