Dermot Gallagher on Ref Watch:
"This is quite unique for a defender, two commit two offences in one situation. He throws one arm out and catches a player. He grabs the other by the hair.
"The grab and the hair is the easy one; it is so obvious. It has got to be dangerous or violent.
If he gives a penalty and a yellow card, it fulfills the criteria. It is a foul.
That one [elbow], you ask if he is leaping for the ball? That is why the second one [hair pull] is the easier one to punish. He is tugging his hair. We know that is an offence. Is it a red card? No because we lowered the threshold.
Penalty and yellow card."
Jay Bothroyd: "Because he has thrown his elbow as well and tugged his hair, can he get a yellow card for both?"
Tim Sherwood: "It is very difficult to elbow someone in the neck and pull someone else's hair."

It’s a good thing there are 50 cameras in the stadium, otherwise they would’ve missed a clear hair pull in the box.

There were only 2 games in Britain in season 04-05 than finished 7-1.
Rangers V Dundee United and Man City V Barnsley.
The same two goalkeepers played in both games - Ronald Waterreus for Rangers and City, Nick Colgan for Dundee Utd and Barnsley.

A story of two Coventry City 25-year-olds. Coventry’s character against Newcastle United embodied by the determined Jack Rudoni and Bobby Thomas. What a journey they’ve been on. Rudoni started out at Epsom Eagles, where Tino Livramento, Conor Gallagher, Reece James and Lauren James once played. Released by Crystal Palace at 11, taken on by AFC Wimbledon, Rudoni played on loan for amateur side Corinthian-Casuals at 17. He was man of the match on his debut against Dorking and received the award (a bottle of rose) from Alec Stewart, England cricket legend and ex-Casuals centre-back and midfielder.
Rudoni played on loan in National League South for Tonbridge Angels in front of 590 (against Chelmsford) but never lost belief. Played League One with AFC Wimbledon. Then Championship with Huddersfield – played under Neil Warnock, who predicted the midfielder would “go to the very top”. Championship and now Premier League with Coventry. At 25.
Midfielder develops further under Frank Lampard, and shows character in abundance. Rudoni had never taken a pen before in 280 appearances. Converted his kick in the 4-1 win over against Newcastle.
Thomas, outstanding against Newcastle, has also been on a rise up the pyramid. Defender began at Crewe Alexandra, but held back by Osgood-Schlatter’s, which restricted his game-time. Left Crewe, joined Burnley and went on “a work experience loan” at 18 to Kendal Town in the Northern Premier League. Thomas scored on his debut for the Mintcakes, a header, against Glossop North End.
Thomas played on loan in League Two for Barrow, League One for Bristol Rovers and Barnsley. Sold by Burnley to Coventry for £2m, Thomas has played Championship and now Premier League. Shows the importance of EFL (and non-League) in shaping players for the Premier League. And shows the power of persistence within Rudoni and Thomas #PUSB btw Stephen Mfuni looks a huge prospect, 18-year-old defender on loan from Manchester City.

I've been to HHTFC 3x in last 2yrs (Prem League Day, Boxing Day v Hassocks and last night) and I reckon average gate from those must be in 4 figures.
The piece I'm writing now is from #bhafc angle but it was a really good, well-organised night and well-deserved win for the hosts.

Can't get more non league than this. 15 minute delay to the kick off between Billingshurst v. Haywards Heath so the lines on the pitch can be painted #nonleague #nonleaguefootball #nonleaguesussex @thesnlfdod @NonLeague_SSX
