Mansfield Town 2-3 Stevenage Borough Pt 1

Saturday 12th September 2009 - Blue Square Premier

Full match reports will appear elsewhere and everywhere (click here to read report from Stevenage website), but out of the 3100+ Stags fans inside Field Mill, was I the only one who saw Kyle Perry kick Lee Boylan? Boylan was on the floor with the ball trapped between his legs and Perry battled well to try and take posession. If the Referee had have called for a drop-ball then, everyone would have understood. As it was he let play go on and when Perry got a little too enthusiastic it all ended ith the striker appearing to take an extra swipe at the ball -- unfortunately instead of the ball he ended up accidentally connecting with Boyland's head.

It took a long time for the four officials (yes, four - they all got involved) to decide to take action against the striker, but when all four did finally end their committee meeting, the outcome was a straight red for the Stags no. 19. It had all started so well for the Stags and Perry, but his dismissal turned the game around completely, and it ended in a defeat at home for the first time since David Holdsworth's arrival in January.
