I’d rather this match report not serve as an essay on VAR, but it’s impossible to dissect this game without commenting on its main talking point. Bias or no bias, the official’s decision to rule out Dendoncker’s opener was farcical. Granted, the ball touched Boly’s hand but even the most partially sighted spectator could see […]
Crusaders 1 Wolves 4 (Wolves win 6-1 on aggregate)
That was tough to watch. Not because of anything that occurred on the pitch (though Ryan Bennett’s own goal was an eyesore) but because of what was going on across the terraces of Seaview. I would have loved to have been one of the crowd in Belfast, but dog-sitting duties put that dream to bed. […]
Wolves 2 Crusaders 0

Tonight’s opponents, having made only a short trip from Belfast, were never likely […]

The South Bank treated us to their best hits, including a rendition of a new tune made possible […]

If the highlights were anything to go by, the home side should feel aggrieved to have only scored three. Uncharacteristically bad defending was Wolves undoing today, the dreaded Wembley hangover seemingly in full effect. Jonny went missing for the first, with young whippersnapper Josh Sims handed the freedom of Southampton and duly crossing expertly for […]
