No one on here mentioned the most significant moment.
At 1-0 to Corinthians, the ball was running out for a throw in the Avondale left back position - Micheal Kiernan dummied to let it out and then attempted to play a back pass to the Dale Keeper BEFORE the ball crossed the touchline for a throw.
He made a mess of the pass, giving it straight to the Corinthians striker who now had a 1 on 1 chance with the Dale keeper.
The assistant referee then put up his flag for a throw to Avondale.
When Kiernan played the ball there was grass between the ball and the touchline.
No way was it out of play.
I was positioned at the corner flag looking up the touchline at the incident, about 10m away.
Only the lino bought Kiernans dummy.
This unbelievably poor decision kept the score at 1-0 and allowed Avondale to stay in the game.
They equalised about 3 minutes later.
