#“#SaturdayMorningFootball at Its Maddest – Seven Goals, Big Calls & No VAR in Sight” “

Hard luck stories in sport are ten-a-penny, but Glasgow Island must consider themselves unfortunate after events at Firhill this morning. The omens weren’t great when the Knightswood right back kicked out at Zander after the ball had gone – had the official spotted it he would surely have shown the red card, but he had his back to it.

Knightswood nearly took the lead but Robin, playing in goals as regular keeper Jack was unavailable, making a smart stop to deny the Knightswood striker when he was clean through.

Despite dominating the first 45 minutes, Murdo John warned his team about how precarious their lead was, and they received a warning early into the second half, a brilliant last gasp challenge from Finlay, another summer signing, preserved the GI lead.

A long ball down the channel saw Robin beat the Knightswood forward to the ball. The latter then cleaning out the islanders keeper in what looked a shocking challenge. The referee not only kept his cards in his pocket, he awarded Knightswood the throw-in. Well seen there was no VAR on show today!

Inevitably, an equaliser came, the Knightswood right winger doing really well to keep himself offside and slotting home. A second followed soon after from an almost identical move. The official then awarded a free kick to Knightswood, the reason still unclear, but no matter why it was given the islanders will be disappointed at the subsequent defending, allowing Knightswood to extend their lead.

With Caly arriving to take the keeper’s jersey, this allowed Robin to move into midfield and he outmuscled the Knightswood defence to pull one back on 75 minutes.

Daniel must have thought he’d equalised after a lovely square ball from Gregor, but the keeper made a tremendous save. Archie had a chance to equalise but the ball drifted past the far post. A third goal would eventually come for GI, Crawford grabbing his second after a Gregor cutback, but by then the Knightswood right back, of all people, had scored a fourth, and ultimately decisive, goal.
