[Waller is my hero]

Completely in control only to be let down by idiotic & baffling refereeing decisions!

Our supposed 'evostick' full backs played fantastically well, marshalled by the superb Hird & Anderson...Nolan & Liddle ruling midfield..with Ariyibi causing them allsorts of problems down the wing...then the excellent Wilkinson & Dennis chasing everything & scoring the goals.

Two of the most debatable penalties you can imagine & a goal scored in minute in added time ON added time...I called it half way through the game that Kettle would cost us..& he did exactly that..some of decisions were beyond belief!

So anyone who thinks were clueless...you know nothing about football...& moan for the sake of moaning!

One of the most baffling ones for me was near the end and our player (forget who it was) was shielding the ball near the corner flag. Something you see all the time, nothing untoward and that idiot gave them a free kick. WTF did he and the equally clueless linesman see that no one else in the ground did?

Trumped by booking Dennis for not taking a throw in I thought

Thought dennis and wilkinson were superb, mitchell is a nothing player, ariyibi looks braindead, the midfield are nothing to write home about, liddle is bog standard, the full backs never pushed on..gillingham were dire and wilsons poor tactics and time wasting were as much to blame as the ref.

[jack bauer]

just one of those freak games you get in a season, some incredibly baffling decisions from the officials all game, but for both sides, ref was blowing for free kicks from start for anything, perhaps its his way of keeping up with play because half the time he was miles off the play and the west stand referee, just no... disappointing as we were cruising all night long but just didn't see the game out.

Dennis I think.
Don't think I have seen that given as a foul for over 30 years, when it was called obstruction. The decision now always goes to the player shielding the ball. Until tonight.

truly incredible especially as 5 seconds before he allowed their player to push one of ours in an off the ball incident.

You could almost hear Dennis pleading "Ref, I'm a striker, I don't take throw ins".

Gillingham must think santa has come early. They deserved no points on general play.

No just a quick analysis of the team..we was mugged but time wasting like that should never be allowed and as for wilsons substitution why not take off ariyibi

We ought to be able to game manage by keeping the ball. The time wasting at home was a bit embarrassing. We generally decent in all departments and I still can't believe we only drew. Graham and mcguire did better than I expected

[Hoare (400)]

You cant fault the players when they put effort in, whether they play well or not.

The biggest problem I have is to have hard earned money spoiled by these B****Y idiotic officials, who have no right on a football pitch. The fact these people are employed by the idiotic FA, who will now have to pee more money up the wall to pay a club compensation to poach another mediocre manager beggars belief. An guess whose money this comes from huh ? How or Why we need a full time manager when England play all of 6 proper matches a year is just plain silly.

Anyhow, back to tonight, if we actually did what we in the real world call forward planning for once, we might have been able to give it a go this season as there are a few little gems emerging, sadly we are falling down the league faster than our attendances.

If our chairman thinks we will play in front of more than 4,500 in division 2, he is wrong, completely wrong.

Didn't go toneet but despise time wasting even if we do it. Sounds like Wilson handed the game to Gillingham as much as the ref did

I thought both full backs were excellent tonight....Graham looked solid at right back & McGuire looked very solid on a full league debut

The linesman clearly gave that, although there was no foul whatsoever, simply because he got fed up with us trying to keep the ball in the corner. Just as the ref lost patience with us pratting about in the other corner and added on the time that robbed us. we actually gave the officials the excuse to punish us, so it was our own fault. If DW had just let us carry on playing as we had been for the majority of the game we would have come away with all three points. Very bad decision from our manager IMO that cost us 2 points.

No. The ref handed the game to Gillingham on a plate.
Wilson didn't give them two debatable penalties, the first of which was given when no players or supporters appealed.

I think the chairman, and his sidekick will be happy they both missed tonight!!

[Spire-Power]

Agree we just had to carry on as we were and make sure we kept the ball
