A frustrating afternoon. 1-0 down early after a blatant foul on our keeper, which the referee and the linesman were the only people in Haig Avenue that didn’t see. Even the Darlington players were looking around at the referee and expecting him to disallow it.
Fortunately Darlington gave away a stupid penalty about 10 minutes later to allow us to get level. Then we had two good chances to take the lead and another decent chance early in the second half but couldn’t take them.
There was a sense of inevitability that they would take the lead. It looked like the game was slipping away but fortunately Slew buried one off the underside of the crossbar in added time.
I think we were value for the point but it was a winnable game. I would like to see us get at least a point against Chorley on Tuesday and then beat seldom seen Hereford next Saturday.
