Doncaster Rovers 2 Stockport County 1 ( Football League 2) Tuesday 16 August 2022

This was fantastically disappointing- a game turned right around by a refereeing decision early on and decisively decided by another deep in added time! County looked comfortable early on as Doncaster`s unease grew with every moment until the 20 th minute when Referee Declan Bourne with the added input of his liner adjudged that Southam- Hales had fouled Tommy Rowe sufficiently to deserve a red card. I did not see this action clearly, but have viewed several videos on facebook and twitter and to say the least it is not even clear a foul was committed, what was clear sadly was that Rowe , who I was looking forward to seeing again, milked it somewhat although in perhaps an echo of a more acceptable past seemed to think twice about going full throttle by throwing himself down like a dead man. Anyway here`s a clip from You Tube which you can use to judge for yourself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6DHnnjw1Jo That changed the complexion of the game with County
