    Should have been out of sight before the late substitutions. But for the ref and the lack of a proper goal scorer.

    I’d have taken off Whitehall before the ref sent him off. The guy’s demeanour and body language was totally wrong.

    When he got subbed he had to walk around the pitch and past the Iron fans. Never looked up once to acknowledge the applause. Compare to Dion S-F who applauded back.

    Poor attitude.

    Subbing Pugh for Wilson was correct. He almost won us the game. Taking Whitehall off when he was on a yellow and looking to mix it was correct too.

    Taking off Sembie-Ferris was wrong!

    1-1 to the referee!

    Perfectly good goal chalked off for no reason after a PL VAR style delay. Wilson taken out in the area and HE gets booked for diving? Could have won 3/4 nil and we limp away with a draw. Frustrating is putting it mildly!

    We did not shut up shop, we’d been playing like that since 7:45! And there’s no point in going long because Whitehall isn’t up to it. He just plods around with a face like a slapped arse! Clunan and Scales both put a shift in but there’s zero quality up front.

    When DSF and Wilson got around the back we looked dangerous but it didn’t happen often enough.

    So we’ve drawn a match we should have won, following on from a game we won but should have drawn.

    And that pretty much explains why we’re not in Tamworth’s position!

    Record books will show we beat them home and away without conceding a goal.

    Any win was a bonus after Tuesday’s disappointments.

    Jimmy is falling into the Wilcox trap. Don’t lose and you win the league.

    Didn’t work then and isn’t working now.

    Did work then. The problem is that there’s only one automatic promotion spot in this league!

    At the level we find ourselves at we probably have to gamble on these types of players in order to get a bit of quality in the squad.

    Butterfield arrived with a similar reputation but so far (touch wood) we got the best out of him.

    Win some, lose some!

    Find it strange that Tamworth are odds on. Would have thought evens more realistic.

    Yeah, my lad and I were driving down but we hadn’t reached the A19 when it was announced on the radio.

    Must have been well over an hour before Kickoff though.

    I had been watching both the SUFC & DFC websites all afternoon. I’d also been studying the weather apps.

    The heavy rain was due to clear the NE around 18:00. The wind was still a problem but if anything that would help dry out the pitch.

    As others will confirm at the time most fans were arriving it was just light drizzle.

    Therefore I find it hard to believe that the pitch was in a worse condition at 19:15 than it was at 18:00! And it would have been far worse at 16:00 when it was hammering it down.

    When the stewards told us it was off our first thought was structural damage until he said it was standing water.

    From the Darlo report it sounds like the managers and players didn’t fancy it either. The conspiracy theories continue!!!

    By the time his three match ban is over Whitehall will have forgotten what a football looks like!

    Crazy!

    Some of the other North East clubs called off much earlier

    The Heed cancelled at 3:30pm. Shields and Spartans both went ahead!

    No real logic there!

    Why didn’t a club official or local referee/FA representative have a look at 16:00?

    So you believe no one set foot on the turf until 7:15?

    Give over!

    Weather was better than at 3:15 when Gateshead’s game was called off.
