The season will get more congested when we beat West Ham!

That report has been edited since this morning. He then said that the referee had seen something (the non equalising goal) that no one else in the crowd had and had made a massive mistake.

That pitch is like a minefield! It had looked better earlier in the season.

Highlights videos should give a casual viewer a sense of being at the game but it didn't show the injury to Martin or the more crucial injury to their keeper. You would never have known there was a defender in goal.

But, again, we get a minute of our fans at the end.

What on earth are the Kettering fans complaining about?! Simpson clearly impeded by a Kettering player with a raised hand for their disallowed goal, pretty easy devision to disallow it.

Still haven't worked out why our goal on half time was disallowed though 🤔

I like the shots of fans and players celebrating after such a hard fought win tbh Phil. But you're right, it shouldn't have come at the expense of key moments in the game.

My dad was listening to Millerman who gave the impression there were some pretty nasty tackles flying in from Kettering and the ref was letting them get away with all sorts. So seeing how Martin was injured would have been somewhat pertinent!

I've just read that report Phil. Even edited, that "journalist" is being somewhat disingenuous. It's pretty obvious that their player impeded the keeper and led with a raised arm (that may or may not have flicked the ball on). So to say no-one knew what the infringement could be for is just taking the mickey. There's no way he could have allowed that after disallowing one of ours at the same end for something far less obvious.

Speaking as a former journo, that's the problem you can get when you have supporters covering their own team, as I suspect has happened here. To be fair to the Harriers fans who do it for various outlets, the likes of Shane and Adam Matthews do a terrific job and are very even-handed. But it's not easy, and one reason why reporting week in week out on Harriers was something that didn't really appeal to me during my career.

That pitch is dreadful - summed up by two bobbles on a matter of seconds that caused an airshot and a slice from two Kettering players in the first half.

Far better highlights from Kettering.

It's lucky that Foulks isn't out again after that, "nothing wrong with that" tackle. Showing studs and flying in from the Kettering player! The Martin tackle appeared to be a legal one but obviously unfortunate for Martin.

Cannot figure out why Lowe's goal has been disallowed. Don't see any grabbing, pulling, jumping on or anything.

We tend to give Miller some stick ( me more than most) but at least we dont have to put up with those two numpties on the mic every week......

Is he going to be on national radio again for the West Ham game? He really should be. A bit of local colour.

Assume 5 Live will cover it in full from 12:30 with one of their lead commentators, so Millerman may miss out. Aberred will know.
