    Bromley could have done with doing the same yesterday

    Lead Yeovil 1-0 yet lost their 'keeper to a nasty injury (18 minute delay) - Didnt have a sub goalkeeper so lost 3-1

    In that game 

    ” Under normal circumstances, eight red cards would leave a match on the brink of abandonment. At Huish Park, however, eight red cards were brandished just to keep the contest going. 

    That's because referee Aaron Jackson decided the ball boys dotted around the pitch for Yeovil Town's National League game against Bromley were hindering rather than helping the action on the field.

    With the Glovers 3-1 up heading into the closing stages, it wasn't just the the home players who were engaging in a bit of gamesmanship.


    "One ball boy delayed giving the ball back to Bromley's Sam Wood about 10 minutes from the end and was warned by the referee," explained BBC Somerset commentator Chris Spittles.

    "But when the same ball boy repeated the trick shortly after the referee asked for them all to be removed. One steward was tasked with gathering them all in and leading them away down the tunnel.

    "I've never seen anything like it."

    Pretty silly not to have a sub keeper these days given the amount of subs you can name. Even if they have injuries, they could've at least had the youth team keeper on the bench.

    Jeff Stelling made a comment say no clubs have sub keepers at that level, i didnt believe it so looked at lineups, over half the teams never named a sub keeper.

    Could be wrong but Conference and below you can only name five subs rather than the seven you get in the Football League and above

    That's a situation that demands Steve Brown

    Those were the days; footballers sharing lifts up from Brighton in a battered old Sierra. Halcyon.

    Shirt number 48  :)

    Surprised they only have 1 senior keeper (with a 17 year old as his deputy, who was injured yesterday)

    Bit of a tangent, but wasn’t it Royce that was in goal for Leicester when Shaun Bartlett scored his wondergoal?

    Definitely Royce

    Because he then did a jig in front of the Covered End when they started singing: You should have stayed the Valley - Best opposing player reaction to banter I've ever seen

    Although Robbie Keane runs him close... Went complaining to the ref because of the harmless abuse we were giving him one game and so just made it worse for himself

    Yes my bad, it was Walker in goal when the catalogues were thrown on the pitch.  I think.
