There it is Fulton yellow card. Take him off half time

And therein lies the problem - if he stays on we now have to play an hour with him unable to make another 50/50 challenge, in a tough away game. All for a completely unnecessary off the ball tackle. He's brainless.

Working now. The muppets involved must have been told to flick the switch they should have done already.

 

[Bluenile]

Under the cosh a bit now.

Can't say I'm a fan of this aimless hoofing

First side to raise their game by 10% wins this, dour.

Great cross Fulton goes to early offside

One thing I noticed last week and today so far - Burgess isn't going to lose many duels in the air. Perfect for this league.

I wonder if Franco will play second half.
