Torquay United vs Chipstead


All right, so it was hard to see the booking. But the referee did show a yellow card to the goalscorer, Chipstead’s Daryl Coleman. His strike gave the Ryman League side a lifeline in their FA Cup qualifying tie against Torquay United. Chipstead trailed by one until the 87th minute when two quick goals by the Gulls saw them progress to the next round as 4-1 winners.

    I pinched it from the Guardian’s YouTube round-up thing. Of course, I was doing this a LONG time before them, so I reckon I’m entitled to steal. They started it! :-P

    That’s disgraceful behaviour… Reading the Guardian of all things. :-)

  4. Richard Says:

    It was an accident. I was looking for the Jonathan Ross-Russell Brand transcript. :-)

    And did you find it? I was pretty shocked when I read it. Maybe this is a sign that I’m geting old.

    Yeah, yeah. That’s what they all say. :-)
