Grimsby stewards and ball boy weren't that interested in getting the ball at 2-2. Twiss took the corner passing it back to Gary Hunter, you know the rest

Full set of photos should be on the official site mid-evening including the Barrowvian way to congratulate a goal scorer

Is there a video of the goal anywhere? I seem to think that virgin media don't do highlights of tuesday night games?

Virgin media do videos of mid-week games. I read somewhere that, for mid-week games, they try to get them online within 24 hours so keep checking their site.

I'd imagine that the highlights will be on World at some point today, which as its Grimsby I imagine they will be quite lengthy. If you don't have World sign up for a free 30 day trial.
Just watched Mike Newells post match comments on the Grimsby site.....not a happy chappy with the referee and football in general it seems at the moment.

Online reports suggest the sending off was dubious, possibly some good acting and holding up imaginary red cards to the ref from our lads. Some Grimsby supporters phoning BBC Humber last night had seen a video of the incident at the ground and all agreed it was a definite red. We'll have to wait & see.

Had he given a yellow I don't think too many would have complained.
Having said that, my immediate thought was 'red' and it was definitely one that could be fully justified within the laws of the game.
For Newell to get himself into bother over something that was at least debatable was very silly. Can understand his frustration at 'everything seeming to go against his side' but he's got into enough scrapes to know better.
He made out the decision was ludicrous and made by someone who was an idiot, with no understanding of the game, working on laws made by other similar idiots.
One chap behind me was shouting for the rest of the match about Yates not being injured - as if this mattered in some way. I had to bite my tongue.

I saw Hunter's goal on Sky Sports New's this morning. In my opinion it was just as good if not better than Drummonds last saturday. Hunter showed great techinque and vision in volleying it first time straight into the top left hand corner of the goal from the edge of the area!
With it being the last minute of normal time he could have easily bottled under the pressure and blasted it over the bar or sliced it wide which is why think it was such as good goal!

Both great goals but I'm with you. Volleying like that is a more difficult skill and the keeper should have got to Drummy's whereas last night Barnes had no chance.
