thought the red card was harsh yellow at best, interesting tactics having Grant Young playing wide of a front 3. Thought the big scotsmen up front for shore was handy.
I was there too. Shore derbies are often entertaining and Sunday's game continued the tradition. Eight goals, another disallowed, a red card, the League leaders twice coming from behind... Mayne's excocet free kick got things going nicely, and in defence Aaron Root - until he was sent off - was showing as much bite as a Uruguayan. Up front it was good to see old warhorse Grant Young leading the line (despite carrying as many years as the opposition combined). And Shore had their stars too. Defensive mid McClure is a monster, and not just for his startling resemblence to Meatloaf, while left wing Hector Hernandez, the Devonport Ronaldo, was all aggrieved shrieks and feints and step-overs - even if the ball sometimes seemed to know where it was going more than he did.
Great game, great day out for Mum, Dad and the kids. ACFC v Waitak it ain't - let alone Spurs v the Arse. But for fun in the sun followed by a few beers and a ferry ride home, local derbies don't get much better than this.
