Colts 2-2 BSC

It was a hard contest and I do wonder whether BSC would have got back into the game if they had not scored a goal just before half-time. (Of course, we scored two quick goals just before half-time in our previous meeting one week ago) Perhaps, a draw was a fair result but certain aspects of the game were far from fair: dangerous tackles, verbal abuse, retaliation, goading, provoking and over-reaction. As a Colts fan I would like to say that we were innocent of such gamesmanship but I don't think we were.
I don't expect that we can return to the level of fair play and sportsmanship that were displayed in the past by the Corinthian football team but I do think that respect should be shown to the opposing team and to the officials. Thankfully, Colts normally concentrate on playing good football.
