my comments here aren't sour grapes but a desperate cry for better standard officials at our level.
City should have killed the game off, and certainly were the better team, creating clearer chances, but without seeming biased, I truely was angry with the way the officials handled the game.
Football is a contact sport, and both teams produced some strong tackling, and some were well rewarded with bookings. However, the tackle which lead to Tamworths second goal was a good clean tackle and should never have been penalised. It's as though the ref wanted Tamworth to win.
Secondly, the linesman who gave offside against Ian Cambridge when he was put through by a Tamworth player stole yet another clear opportunity.
Matti Hann was pulled down in the box which should have been a penalty.
The ref gave a throw in to Tamworth when Kev Wilkin had to attended to after being chopped down....where was our free kick??
Basically the officials were a joke, and I would say this even if we had won.
Meanwhile, City do need a faster forward, and I hope Neil Pope settles in quickly and reproduces the form we know he can deliver. City played well and commitment was good, but we were lacking up front still.
I am not too worried about our position, and not happy either, as the team does and can play good football, but admittedly, Chris Tovey will have to kick start the revival very soon.
This time Tamworth can consider themselves very lucky, but next season please don't bring the Ref with you !!!!!!
