[Football] Worthing FC v Lewes 7.45 p.m tonight.

Checking the twitter feeds, I see that the second yellow shown to the Lewes player was for a challenge on Worthing's (our) keeper Rees, but it seems there were different interpretations from the Worthing and Lewes' Chairman's perspective!

Amazing the difference in perspective! The Lewes player had poked the ball too far ahead and lost control and it was always the keepers ball. Was a nasty challenge and could have been a straight red.

This took place on the goal line about where the 6 yard box line joins so, not much chance of a genuine goal opportunity, just nasty.

Should be a reasonable crowd. Taking my Brighton season ticket along in the hope of half price entry. Which they offered last season!

The concession is now just £2 off with your Albion ST, better than nothing I guess.

How did Worthing's goalkeeper (our very own Roco Rees) perform?

He made two outstanding saves towards the end of the 2nd half, looked very promising.

Looking at that and the comment further down, then watching the video, I would suggest that none of them are correct. This still shows the lad trying to pull the ball back. He then collides with the keeper who takes a full whack. Yellow probably just about the right call for being out of control but all 3 options could be argued.

Excellent! That's the first close-up view I've had of Woodside Road in 40 years. I knew they'd had new stands but was completely unaware that the clubhouse had been given over to housing. When were the floodlights replaced? I've still got the programme from the opening match for the originals.

He's a great lad is Roco, I know him and his family very well, he's focused and a great prospect for the future. Only at Worthing for a month I believe.

My lad also watches The Rebels when he's not watching The Albion, don't get down there myself preferring to watch the mighty Mullets in Arundel!

Worth bearing in mind that Rocco is only 17! Doing that well against a team of men is impressive. Think the loan was 6 weeks but it could well have started 2 weeks ago. Only got loaned as the Albion Academy was going to loan out one of the U23 keepers but he broke a finger so couldn't play.

Agreed, merely saying a "great prospect".

Totally agree with that!
