United, but yeah.

Two red cards (should have been two more), plus another for one of the coaching team who ran on the pitch at Liam Smyth (our former youth player), all from separate incidents, and half the remaining players booked because the ref lost control of the game after about 20 mins with two ludicrously soft bookings that meant he ended up booking most fouls the rest of the game. United equalised to make it 2-2 and take it to a replay with a 99th min penalty, taken against an outfield player in goal after the keeper got sent off for the foul (having already been booked for time wasting), and all of this after a 45 minute delay to the second half because one of the linos left at HT and there was no replacement so they had to drag one in from elsewhere. And all played out in glorious sunshine with the ability to have a few beers pitchside and with a belting atmosphere. A bargain afternoon's entertainment for just £7.

Has got me right up for our real stuff to start now too. Will be there for Shrewsbury, Norwich and Huddersfield. Hurrah!
