Official Match Thread Braintree Town vs Southend United

[Barling Magna]

Corner for Braintree.... well caught by Collin.

 

[Holy Joe]

Should be a booking for akinde that

 

[Crowstone Crevette]

Pepple booked

 

[Holy Joe]

Pepple booked for nothing

 

[Cricko]

Why is that a Yellow, he only went for the ball.

Now confirmed he was booked

Keeper known for being a ****house, cons the ref into a booking for Pepple. Fans behind that goal give him a terrible time please

 

[Flinty]

Yellow for being kicked by the goalkeeper

Terrible decision by the ref

 

[MisterStubbs]

It’s barely a foul by Bim, let alone yellow card worthy. Pathetic.

 

[geoffmundo]

Pepple booked for nothing

Ref had been doing ok up to that point

Really frustrating. Had every right to go for that. They were already trying to get under his skin and they’ll be at it even more now. Hopefully Bim can keep his composure as this will be a test for him now and hopefully not a lesson learned the hard way.

Commentators implied not even a foul let alone booking in their opinion

 

[Barling Magna]

Braintree looking dangerous now.

 

[Holy Joe]

Kendall does well under pressure to cut back ball into box, but no one there

 

[Tony Allen]

Maher usually subs Bim early doors so even more likely today

 

[hlane17]

Started largely on the back foot this half

 

[Barling Magna]

Hopeless from Bridge there....

 

[geoffmundo]

Bridge the weak point in the attack again

I think he'd be right to do so today, they are going to hassle him into a second yellow
