Taking into account our recent good form, losing to Ebbsfleet was probably preordained!
Pools had the best of the game, but failed to truly test the goalkeeper. The penalty award looked a bit soft from my place on the terrace, but this was just another poor decision by the referee who was weak and inept throughout.
The Ebbsfleet players were, as is often the case in this division, full of tricks and exploitative of the referee.
However, this can't condone any abuse - if there was any - which may cause further damage to the Club.
