I'll give a slightly more unbiased opinion given we were not involved in the cup.. Couldn't tell you about last week but Halswell should have had game won inside 90. Parklands kepper kept busier of the two. Parklands only really threatened from long throws and too often resorted to long ball play. Keepers known as nutcases, Parklands one should have been sent and penalty awarded. Pretty blatant and dirty having only eyes for players ankles and diving in with feet. Parklands penasty late on was very dubious, was on that side and looked outside box, not one Parklands player near the action appealed. Referee and linesman in our league are terrible. Last few rounds will be interesting, wouldn't write Parklands or Halswell out both capable of beating anyone
To be honest yesterday's ref was one of the better ones we've had this season.
I'm sure if you ask both keepers who was kept the busier you will find that Lee will admit he had to keep out 3 or 4 one on ones, plus a few from longer range. Dave on the other hand up until midway through the 2nd half had hardly touched the ball.
As the 2nd half Halswell definitely came into it more and could of snatched something inside 90 which would probably have been a bit harsh. In extra time they were definitely the better side though. The player that was fouled wasn't in a state to appeal due to a serious rib injury that occurred earlier in extra time.
With the Parklands keeper incident the ref was next to the action and made the call. It was close but also came from the lack of sportsmanship with the Halswell winger who was being advised by all his teammates to give the ball back from the dropball, which was incidentally an injury to that said winger!
