v Hemel Hempstead Town

[REBEL MATTERS]

Goes to show how little I look at the league above the bottom half, having had the guts to look at it today after a win, I didn't realise how tight it is from bottom up to play offs.

Not starting to believe, not getting excited, happy to just pull away from relegation zone, but amazes me 10 points between 20th and 7th play off...

similarto the prem anyone can beat anyone from top to bottom.

Keep looking up Rebels

100% correct in the red card for Yella HP. Marc White of Dorking got the same treatment away at Oldham earlier in the season. Yella "kicked the ball away" from their player, thus delaying the restart of the game. Any coaching team member that delays the restart of the game in that way is a straight red (I'm sure someone with more time than me can list the exact rule that applies).

So a yellow card for a player kicking the ball away time wasting but a red card for a member of the coaching staff?

Same offence but different color card doesn't really make sense.

The game was largely forgettable, but I'll take that provided we get three points!

I was very surprised by how little Hemel showed until the last 10 or so minutes.

As Yella was sent off, presumably this means he'll be serving a touchline ban?

Most of the sides towards the bottom are starting to pick up points so although it is tight and a few wins will edge a club closer to the play-offs it's also quite easy to plummet towards the drop zone after a few losses.

Aveley started the season on fire but lost their two strikers Matt Rush and Jon Benton to Maidstone and Solihull. Good chance to do the double over them.

Of course it is a stupid rule, but unfortunately, it is the rule.
