Hope there's a couple of hundred people in the bar. Otherwise it's looking to be a lot smaller than usual Saturday crowd

Seems they were in the bar. HT att 310.
Winning 2-0 RCW down to 10 men. Their number 8 could be next. Hasn't stopped complaining to ref and linesman.
Great performance by City. Totally dominated the first half.

9-0 : who saw that coming? And guess what? I wasn't there! Been feeling very off-colour the last few days and just wanted to stay at home in the warm; obviously chose the wrong day to do so!

Our biggest league win since we beat Oswestry 12-2 in 1976. I thought that was the last time that two City players scored hat-tricks in the same game. However a little more digging and I recalled that John Muir and Les Ebrey both scored hat tricks in a Southern League Cup game October 1985 v Merthyr which City win 8-0.

fantastic game today, best i have seen for some time, they played for each other, Ash & Marlon should be congratulated for the way they worked tirelessly in training to get to this stage, they could see what would happen given the players they have & today it showed, onto Wednesday & lets hope this continues.

Never doubted them for a second. Been there all season, just missed being clinical...look what happens when confidence is high!

Yes, but it is so delicate a situation that we should not comment further before ref submits his report. As for the game... One we will remember. Well done you city boys.
.....on a separate topic, Can I suggest that it would be a good idea if teeeej reads out the correct fixtures? The prog has errors, ie in the city news page today it is saying a sat game for the fav not a sun game. We really need people to turn up on the right day. New order rule OK!

Reference the two points above, if the referee was being verbally abused by certain players then I admire him for sticking to his guns. From what I could tell he'd already warned them what would happen if it continued. Yes, he's a young lad, still learning and it was evident he made some wrong calls during the match, but that doesn't mean he has to accept whatever was said.
On the second point it is frustrating that the programme did not contain up to date fixtures. The editor doesn't set out to make mistakes but I guess on this occasion he wasn't aware of the changes that were announced on social media earlier in the week.

Well apart from the first 5 minutes of the second half, that was a fantastic performance. Great team effort all working together. For me, personally, I found the great discipline they had was a welcome change from years previously. I can think of a few players that would have been wound up by Racing and probably picked up a couple of yellows.
Racing's number 8 was lucky to last as long as he did. Never seen a player give so much moaning to the ref for the whole time he was on the pitch. I thought the sin bin call was right and although a lot of people around me seemed confused as whether he was booked or sent off, I thought the ref indicated very clearly that it was a sin bin offence.
After some truly dire performances, I hope this is a sign of things to come.

After some truly dire performances, I hope this is a sign of things to come. To be fair, non of us were sure either, because the player didnt go straight off, he went and stood on centre circle, then Warwick subbed him. That's when lino called ref over and asked if it was a yellow or a sin bin. Meaning of course...the sub had to come off for 10 mins And dire performances ? Weve played decent football in games all season (not every minute of every game, and Malvern game excluded), we just never took chances when on top, I can think of at least 5 league games where if we were more clinical they would have all been wins. Yesterday we had confidence and were clinical and took chances when on top ie first 20 mins. Then we took foot off gas until half time. 2nd half....well...foot was firmly to the floor |

I didn't expect that..............and I was there 43 years ago as well !!
Whilst RC Warwick were an ill- disciplined limited bunch, we've played plenty of teams like that, and not put them away properly, but yesterday we did so in style, finally taking our chances. However what pleased me most was the more clinical and purposeful movement in the side. Lowe made a big difference in the middle of the park. Neat, mobile, quick to pass and someone on the same wavelength as Lockett. We passed the ball with a fluidity we've only shown in patches all season, and when they went down to 10 men, then 9 men, it showed. We kept the ball moving, moved off the ball, ran into space, and to top the lot, created chance after chance, and hit the target as confidence flowed through the side. Very good team effort. Having shown what they are capable of, they now have to keep that confidence going.

Having not seen a programme all season, was completely unaware that there was bogus info in there. Hence me not telling people when the next fixture is because nobody's told me! I just turn up, put the records on that I would if I were at home, then start singing when Marco scores. Must admit I haven't enjoyed a match so much for decades. The entire side was superb and played with confidence and ability. Long may it continue. Luke Rowe was outstanding and showed what a quality player he is, too many showings like that and he'll be at least in the National League. So good to see someone on Locko's wavelength at last as well. Special mention for Kurtis as well, me and others had given him some stick and he has responded by turning in some excellent displays, showing that we were wrong. Fair play. |

What a terrific result and only tempered by reading that Tim, of all people, wasnāt there. Get well soon. It was very good to read that City kept their foot on the gas and made the two-man advantage count with goals and at the same time not getting drawn into what was happening in the opposing team.
I was interested in the sin binning that is not used here. The Worcester News report suggests that the Warwick bench were not au fait with the rules with their attempted substitution. Has this been used much by referees since it was introduced?

Has this been used much by referees since it was introduced? At the beginning of the season, one of our opponents had a player sin binned in injury time. Everyone at the time assumed he'd been sent off. It wasn't until the next day I read he'd been sin binned. Yesterday the ref showed the yellow card and pointed at the bench. Which I'm led to believe is the signal for a sin bin. |

No mate, you were sent off for not listening to the referee. He told you one more word and heād send you off, regardless of what you were saying - he probably didnāt hear you and thought you were giving him some back chat. You carried on and he sent you off - as overheard from your own player talking to the manager as you were coming off the pitch. So knock it off with the race card. |

I usually listen the BBC HW on the way home from the football and even with a 9-0 victory we only got a few seconds airtime. Luctonians got several minutes. The local radio really have given up on us.

The referee ignore him due to the way he was speaking to him apparently. He then made several comments at the referee down the tunnel. Doesnt have a leg to stand on |

The local radio really have given up on us. Sadly it's the same for any club at step 5 of non league. Dan Johnson is H&W's roaming sports reporter, giving updates to the station on all the local games steps 3-5, and the odd ones lower than that too. Dan has to try and spread where he goes, but picks us probably 5-6 times a year, and you'll get a bit more coverage of what has happened, as he's not just picking it up off the club twitter feed. Hereford & Kiddy get full coverage as you'd expect as they're step 2. Unless it's done internally (have some volunteers at the club set up an online radio station giving live match updates), I don't think you'll find a single club at this level or the level above that has as much coverage on their local BBC station as we do. As sad as it is. As for the attendance Saturday, 30-40 turned up in the 10 minutes after kickoff. Everyone, make sure you add a couple of minutes to your journey to account for the webbs christmas traffic rush! |

I think you'll find that when Hereford FC were at our current level there was a lot of coverage from BBC H&W. There is a BIG Hereford FC fan at BBC H&W.

In fairness Hereford FC were attracting considerably more supporters when playing in the MFL than we are currently. So I can understand why they were getting more coverage. Luctonians get airtime because someone from the club is available on the end of a phone to speak to Trevor Owens.
The best way of following matches if you can't be there is via our Twitter account or via Andy Mitchell's live feed on the WN website.

To my understanding, Hereford had (has?) a supporter run online radio, which they offered to H&W to plug into. Again, if we had someone with the experience, knowledge, and willing (plus a bit of loose change they'd want to throw at online commentary), I'm sure they could do the same, and when Dan Johnson comes to our games, I'd be willing to bet he'd be happy enough adding his voice to it, especially if it's linked to the BBC as Herefords was/is.
Lets also not forget they got to the fa vase final the year they were at step 5. A lot of their coverage was of vase matches, what with them being something a bit special. Bromsgrove also had live coverage of at least one of their vase games in their good run 3 years ago.
Lets just hope the good results keep coming, the club goes far in the vase, and eventually climbs back up the leagues.
