I missed the first five minutes so as far as I’m concerned it was 1-0.

Happy for everything to go against us in pre-season if we get given a dodgy one against Red Velvet once it starts properly.

That guy looks a bit short to be playing basketball.

Personally, thought that was ball to hand. Blasted at him, but guess arm is not in a natural position?
This one on the other hand was an absolute stonewall penalty, and hilarious that it wasn't given...

That was a crazy and infuriating 90 mins with a jazz-funk ref making loads of bizarre decisions, sending off two Peckham players, and the game ending in near total darkness but the Menace came away with all three points, coming back from conceding an early goal to win 2-1. Photos on Buzz tomorrow!

In a game loaded with incident, surreal refereeing decisions and some fantastic goalkeeping, The Menace came away with all three points last night – despite being down to nine men by the end.

We've had that ref several times before. He's very matey, first name terms, with undiverse Kent teams and talks down at our players. Draw your own conclusions on that.
I wasn't there, but I would be very interested to know your views on the two yellows for Kieran in one minute and the second yellow for Hassan....as well as whether playing 10 minutes added time was justified (including eight mins with nine men). editor

Not much imagination in the kit design department there!

That's four reds in three matches now, all for two yellow cards. These Kent refs can't wait to flash cards at our players (three after 88 mins), where a smile and a pat on the back for the Kent players usually suffice!

Some of us have standards. An overly slack approach to dealing with petty indiscipline will result in anarchy. Pat on the back my arse!

This will be the last season we’re their problem.
Fisher have had someone sent off every match this season so far too, from memory. That's the league, though not Division, Peckham would probably promote into.

I can't complain about yesterday's sending off. Violently pushing a player over from behind was incredibly stupid. And the ref was right to send off the Cuxton player too after he became a ball of frothing rage.
A great win yesterday, and a really enjoyable game too.
We could/should have been three or four up by the time they equalised, but we didn’t quite have the luck. Then when they scored, something clicked in the team.
(Thought the referee and linesmen had a great game too - don’t often say that after a Peckham game. Kept things calm, and some sensible decisions.)

I agree - I thought the officials did a good job. And glad to see the ref has got over his weird dislike of people standing at one end of the ground!

Is it no longer the place with the horses?

No, it was in Dartford, where a strange chemical smell persisted in the air. Nice little ground though.
