Dartford v Braintree Town Sat 5 Nov 2022
Re: Dartford v Braintree Town Sat 5 Nov 2022
My understanding is that it just counts as the first yellow in the next set of five. I don't believe it makes any difference to the one match ban.Sleightly Deceptive wrote: ↑Sun Nov 06, 2022 8:34 am Not much to add to all that. Tom should have known better than to put himself in that position. However, on a yellow that he knew suspends him for one game, does he now get two games banned?

Trevor, my view from behind the goal to the right was that their defender pulled the bottom of Charlie's shirt so it was about 45 degrees from his back, as they ran towards the ball, which was some way away. Charlie was rightly annoyed and pushed the defender away to get free, and who fell as if poleaxed and stayed down; cue appeals to the ref who would probably have been watching the ball rather than the incident. If he had seen it, he should surely have booked their player too. Charlie, with his experience, ought not to have reacted as he did, although quite understandable. Braintree got what they wanted and continued to harass Charlie in the hope of another booking/red card.
Don't like criticising opposition or officials, but that does look like cheating.

does make me laugh that the two supporters on their forum blame "dodgy officiating" for their loss.

Thanks Brian L
That makes some sense as to what Charlie did and why he retaliated but not worthy of a bookingTrevor, my view from behind the goal to the right was that their defender pulled the bottom of Charlie's shirt so it was about 45 degrees from his back, as they ran towards the ball, which was some way away.

Great to see Dowse’s team starting to really show its potential. It’s taken a few adjustments and some key loan signings but we certainly look a formidable opponent now. Moving Wynts into the holding midfield role and adding the energy of both Smudger and Josh has allowed us to control and dominate games for longer periods which we never achieved earlier in the season. I got so much pleasure out of yesterday’s performance against a dire opponent. It actually feels now that we are building a proper team spirit that was always evident in TBs best squads and promotion winning sides. I have to praise the number of crucial, timely substitutions employed by Dowse during this unbeaten league run, too. In a very short time it’s becoming apparent why Dowse achieved success at all his previous clubs.
Thank you to the players and Dowse for providing me with so much optimism for what lays ahead.

Absolutely spot on Gary. I was having exactly the same thoughts myself. I can't ever forget our first season back in the top non league division, when we finished the highest placed part time team in the country. What I particularly liked at that time was the fact that, in the main, TB placed his faith in the team that earned promotion from the South. A certain Mark Arber was one a the few new additions to the squad and he brought so much experience to the team and I'm sure a young Tom Bonner at that time learnt so much playing alongside him.
I never felt that to be the case at the end of last season.
I also love reminding my son and granddaughter, Wrexham supporters, that the strongly fancied Wrexham failed to beat the Darts at the Racecourse ground in our 3 visits to their ground. Still great memories to treasure.
Could the Darts perhaps make a similar challenge again this season and beat the full time teams to no 1 spot come the end of the season? It's a big ask, but I can dream. Yes, it could all go pear shape. Bit at least that would mean we would not have to face a possible playoff v Braintree if we achieve our own ambitions.
So yes Gary, with you all the way. No pressure!!
