Crawley Town 0, Portsmouth 3. (Sunday 9th September)
The Reds lost to Portsmouth in a shocking defeat after being reduced to 9 men, a result of some dubious refereeing decision making.
The sending off of Josh Simpson and Hope Akpan gave Pompey one serious advantage.
Portsmouth playing 11 to 9 were bound to take control of play and that's what happened !
Against adversity Crawley battled to balance this numerical advantage, but after loosing two players it was all about damage limitation.
Not wanting to sound a bad sport methinks that had this cruel twist of fate had not occurred In the worse case senario would resulted a no score draw at the final whistle.
It's again another example of how unpredictable prediction making is a bad decision by the match official can send things belly up
It;s just a blip 4 The Barkers Boys... next up
