Liquid football

Where's the red card? :)

[TheBoroTV]

@tveet2 the challenge is in the footage at 2.35, but given the 'style' of the highlights we didnt include the cards etc.

[tveet2]

@TheBoroTV Fair enough.. Cheers!

How could the FA allow the game to be played?. This could of resulted in Hayes players getting injured. On the other hand I was laughing iike a drain it was so funny to watch. I'm glad I did not go over to photograph the game.

@jpfletch84 HAVE

@jpfletch84 It could also have resulted in Ebbsfleet players getting injured, not just Hayes! Not the decision of the FA whether the game should be played, the decision rests with the referee. He should have decided that the pitch was unplayable, which it was, and either delayed kick-off or postponed the match without a ball being kicked.

@Northstander In fact, it would be more likely an Ebbsfleet player getting injured with the tackles some of the Hayes players were making.

@MrKleft1994 Fair point. Cracking goal as well, pity it was to no avail!
