00:00Paul, that's going to be a tough one to take there.
00:032-1 defeat late on against Orton and Hirsham when you were finishing strongly
00:07and had a goal disallowed.
00:09It's got quite controversial and then they've gone and scored right at the end there.
00:12Yeah, it's a tough one, that one.
00:15I thought, you know, it was a bit of a cagey first half,
00:16a sort of a poor man's game of chess, feeling each other out.
00:21They may be slightly edged at it.
00:23But yeah, the goals have been criminal tonight, all three of them.
00:26You know, they're one for us and our two, you know,
00:30we give a cheap goal away from a throw in deep in their half,
00:33which is basic, which puts us on the back foot.
00:36But yeah, we responded really well.
00:39Yeah, you say you went behind, but you responded really well in that second half.
00:43You sort of looked a better team, really.
00:44You got the equaliser, the lids obviously read that pass and sorted it away.
00:48And then it looked like if anyone was going to win it,
00:49it looked like it was probably going to be you, really, I thought.
00:52Yeah, I felt, you know, it was sort of one way traffic.
00:56And we were comfortable.
00:58Don't remember Michael touching the ball or making a save.
01:01But yeah, the referee's cost us massively tonight.
01:04It was one of the worst decisions I've ever seen in football.
01:07Yeah, I mean, that's literally the 90th minute.
01:09He's gone down, no one near him and the rest blown up.
01:12And the ball's, I mean, there's not really much more to say about that.
01:15No, of course, I mean, the goalie punched it, got it all wrong,
01:18just fell on the floor and he's given a free kick.
01:21And we've scored and he's given a free kick.
01:23I've gone in there to see him and he said he's had the goal.
01:26He's had to come over our striker to try and win the ball.
01:28But there's not a striker within 10 foot of him.
01:31So I'm not sure what he saw.
01:32So it's a dreadful decision.
01:33And it's, you know, to add the insult to injury, I mean,
01:36that is literally as key a decision as you can get.
01:38Can't you stoppage time?
01:39Literally that would have been a winner.
01:40And then it's literally down the other end.
01:42It goes the other way, doesn't it?
01:43Yeah, it's like 91st minute wins the game.
01:45And yeah, you know, one deep cross.
01:47And we just switched off back post and been punished with like literally the last kick of the game.
01:51But yeah, top on state tonight.
01:54Yeah, obviously, it's tough to take and it's going to be frustrating.
01:57I guess once, you know, a bit of time passes, you can look back at, you know, how you were.
02:02You know, they are up there top of the league.
02:03And in the second half, you did look at the better team of the two and sort of take that out of it.
02:08Yeah, you know, that's it now.
02:09I think we've pretty much played all the top sides in the league.
02:11And I think they're the first team to beat us at the top with a bit of luck.
02:16So, yeah, we take a lot of positives from that and yeah, we'll have to move on.
02:20Michael straight in for his debut tonight.
02:22He didn't really have a lot to do apart from the two goals, really, did he?
02:25Yeah, I don't really remember calling making a save, if I'm honest.
02:30Yeah, it's kicking, distribution, you know, his talking was excellent.
02:33And yeah, he looks a good asset to the squad.
02:36And the goal lids, sort of typical, he sort of reads it.
02:39He's always going to Harry, isn't it?
02:41And he reads that and puts it away.
02:42Yeah, he reads it well.
02:43Yeah, you know, sloppy on their behalf.
02:45But yeah, he reads it well.
02:47He racks a round up there and yeah, he got his reward.
02:49He worked hard tonight.
02:51Obviously, he's going to be tough to take right now.
02:52But obviously, he will have to just move on from it.
02:55And then it will obviously be the trophy on Saturday against Bishop's Cleve.
02:58Yeah, yeah.
02:58We're going to have a trophy, see what we can do in that.
03:01I'm sure we can get a little run and then another good game in that.
03:03And then, yeah, we have to move on to Havent on Wednesday.
03:06Yeah, it's obviously going to be a quick turnaround, isn't it, to that game at Havent.
03:09Obviously, a game in hand next Wednesday, isn't it?
03:11Yeah, so yeah, we'll see how we get on Saturday, then we'll go for now.
