In an epic Division 7 clash this afternoon - goalkeeper Charles Smith was sin binned for questioning the parentage of the referee. In an at times heated clash between Rovers and the mysteriously named Computer Says No - tempers boiled over after a string of decisions went against the Rovers including a disallowed goal.
"Charlies got pinged for not releasing the ball quickly enough" said Hall "and I'm not one to criticise the referees who have a difficult job to do, but it was a harsh call to send him off". Smith sat out two minutes in the sin bin whilst riot Police tried to settle him down. Rovers battled on with four men against a very effective and previously unbeaten Computer Says No.
"This was a classic game and had a bit of everything" said Hall "they got a goal ahead and we equalised, and this was the pattern until it got to 4 - 4. Then with thirty seconds to go Chris Riddle made an heroic run to fire in a fifth goal to put us 5 - 4 up. All we had to do was defend for half a minute, but they got a fierce shot in from their own half and it screamed in inches from Charlie".
Hall said Rovers had improved with every game and were heartbroken at the manner in which the game ended, but proud nonetheless that they had taken points of the highly rated opposition. "We'll get another crack at them in the semi final I imagine" predicted Hall "and we'll have a full face muzzle for Charlie next time". Charlie Smith was under team orders not to comment to the press and could not be contacted at the time this report went to the net.
MOTM Chris "Jimmy" Riddle
