Stephen Thompson puts Stockton Town in front on 90 minutes with a bullet header from a corner.
Bad end to a bad day, but as Derek wrote earlier, football is of little importance in the circumstances (lost a good mate at far too young an age, RIP fella).

Oh what was Prince thinking of getting sent off for bad language when we were 2-0 up! From that point on we always had our hands full, but with 11 men on the pitch I think we would have held our own. Could have been 3-0 when we hit the bar before they scored, but then the goals which had been threatened came to get them back to 2-2. Even then we got our noses in front again before eventually going down in the last minute. Good team in the making here, but as ever we seem to be out of the money making FA competitions before the season has barely begun. A poor gate tonight isnāt going to provide the financial clout we need to move upwards, but that said their are good signs and I hope the manager gets the resources he needs. Canāt fault the players efforts and some good football being played. We need to make sure we keep the ball better and take our chances and better results will come !

I think the referee was stupidly over fussy, players swear every match without recourse. He definitely showed the yellow first then red! Their keeper should have been sent off for the penalty incident.
We need to tweak our squad if one player missing means Prince has to play centre back thatās not good!
A good game full of incidents sady the result didnt go our way but things are looking better. UTA
A strange game, played in front of a terrible gate - I canāt remember an attendance that low other than local cup games.
Really disappointing to lose the way we did, particularly after going ahead again with 10 minutes to go. Didnāt see the incident with Prince but it probably cost us the game. I donāt think weād have surrendered a two-goal lead with 11 men on the pitch.

The keeper and the team canāt be penalised twice for the same offence, themās the rules. Straight red card for Prince. We all want to be supportive here but the fact remains his lack of discipline cost us the game. Stockton weāre a decent team but at 2-0 we had them on the ropes. Sure players do swear all the time but the language must have been pretty choice to get a ref card. Is that a three match ban ?

Iām sorry donāt understand your point why can keeper not be sent off for denying a goal with a foul themās the rules?
And I definitely saw the ref give a yellow then a red, it was in front of us so may be 2 game ban.
