Wrecsam v Cryw

[gazan]

In the last 15 minutes a Wrexham equaliser was always coming. We never looked confident at the end despite having the extra man. Talking of which, why did we not push a man up to occupy their defence? Instead we let them play in our half. There were times when we played the ball around but it seemed slow, contrived and somewhat forced.
Anyway, it was a thrilling game against a club with loads more resources.
I can't understand what Wrexham were complaining about - it was a stonewall penalty and the reaction of the Wrexham players in crowding the referee after the foul on Tracey showed that they feared/expected the red card.
It's unbelievable that Arthur only made his debut for them today. What a comedown! A successful ½ season with the Alex, a cup final appearance with Sturm Graz + penalty saves in European competition and then....Wrexham???
Anyway, onward and upward Gillingham next!

What?? I agree it was def a penalty too....but as for that last bit - fearing a sending off? Come off it. They were just - like all teams would - questioning the penalty! Why the heck do you think it was a sending off?

I think Gazan was referring to the ACTUAL sending off. Although reading the Wrexham forum, they were worried that McClean would get a second yellow.
