BURTON ALBION 2
CAMBRIDGE UNITED 2 (02/05/08)
It's all to play for at
the Trade Recruitment Stadium on Tuesday night after a thrilling
roller coaster of a game ended all square.
There were four goals,
two penalties, two disallowed goals, a flurry of yellow cards and a
near sell out crowd at the Pirelli Stadium as the two sides battled
for a place at Wembley on May 18th.
Unfortunately amid all
the action it was the referee that wanted to be the centre of
attention. In a era of reality TV shows, Mr Hooper obviously decided
that he wanted to wanted to star in his own prime time show. It is
easy to be bitter about losing a two goal lead, but if anyone other
than the bumpkin from Swindon can explain just how Paul Hurst could
have prevented the ball hitting his arm then please e-mail me. Any
clues on why John Brayford and Daryl Clare had seemingly good goals
chalked off would also be appreciated.
After playing 46 games to
get to the play-offs it is sad that a man that has probably never
played a game in his life can have so much influence over the
result.
With no away goals rule
in the semi-finals it now means that it is winner takes all in the
second leg. Referee aside there was nothing on show tonight from the
visitors to suggest that the Brewers cannot triumph and make it to
the final in 16 days time.
