Thought the Nomads were unlucky tonight.....I really despise Rhyl and their band of in bred, scouse overspill, eleven fingered fans.
The sending off from where I was looked a bad challenge but I'm told that from the Stand side it looked harsh. I spoke to Caddy afterwards and he did seem a bit embarrassed by it so that speaks volumes I reckon.
Nomads were more than in the game in the first half and were unlucky to go in at half time a goal down from the penalty spot. I didn't see exactly what the penalty was awarded for so I can't really comment.
Thankfully, the lads came out for the second half and for long patches, they were the better team. The penalty, looked suspicious to me but the linesman on the far side who awarded it told me that the Rhyl player stopped the ball from going over the line with his hand. Shouldn't that have been a sending off offence then?
In fairness, Rhyl came back into the game and were full value for their winning goal but Jim's young team are slowly starting to show some signs of real promise. I know that he is keen to build this club up from the bottom upwards and make Connah's Quay Nomads a force to be reckoned with in the future and on tonight's showing, progress is clearly being made.
I did an interview with Jim after the game tonight and I'll publish it here just as soon as I've typed it up.
