It must have been one of the easiest afternoons Michael Oliver has ever had at the top level. To be fair, he obviously treated it as he would any other game and produced the yellow card when it was needed, albeit a bit reluctantly. Well done to both sides on producing an entertaining spectacle for the TV audience and those lucky enough to live round the perimeters of the ground. But galling to think that at the final whistle, the Marine players were bidding a long farewell to the game that they clearly love, the Leagues at their level being suspended for the foreseeable future. I wish them well for the future.
And a clean sheet from the card shark this evening.... a routine game for him.
