00:00 How was the finish to the game? One minute you're heartbroken and the next minute you're celebrating. What were your emotions there?
00:08 Yeah, listen, it would have been harsh without a doubt. So Mano had the goal. Gus is down injured and he's making get-ups.
00:16 He said if he wants Dream Chess to go off he's injured. He just stopped the game for Aiden Ory when Aiden Ory was down.
00:20 When we had the ball, we played.
00:22 And that's why you got booked?
00:23 Yeah, I got booked so I'm not going to be able to do the job properly again. Yeah, that's it. But then, lo and behold, the ball goes out again so Gus goes down again.
00:33 And he can't let the physio come in again. It's bonkers, bonkers. They're seeing it in gamesmanship yet he's had to come off. Crazy.
00:41 Stuff like that winds me up. We can dispute decisions all day long because they're subjective and some go either way and some don't.
00:49 This is the rules of the game being applied. The rules that they wanted to apply. Rules that we're getting our heads around and they're not being applied.
00:56 Did you get the penalty?
00:58 Yeah, I was fearing the worst. VAR has not been kind. I've not seen it in Stamford but apparently I've been seeing the professor's contact.
01:06 It was never going to be overturned so the calmness of Alleydon was good to get us a win.
