Cracking game between Histon and Torquay - Torquay stole it in the dying seconds to win 4:5
Torquay were 3-0 up at half time. Had a man sent off on 70 and conceded two penalties in the last 8 minutes.
Belting game.
The game delayed for 30 minutes because of an overturned lorry.
Torquay were forced into two subs in the first half due to injury. One is assumed a broken leg and the other hamstring (i believe). Playing a pretty much retired Left Winger as CB. Make another forced sub a minute into second half because of a suspected hamstring one picked up for the first half and attempted to play through pain. Torquay will be lucky to fill subs for next match, seems like last season all over again. Hopefully they can get some loans in fast.
The sending off was soft and the two penatly were dubious. It was not a dirty game at all. I believe the sending off was for flailing arms. Both were ball to hand penatlys within minutes of each other. Basically Histon shooting rockets into a mob of Torquay players and happened to bounce off a hand. Histon took down one of the Torquay players and was a pretty easy penatly to give, but the quality of refeering was horrible all season.
Torquay play away to Kidderminster in a few days, and would be worth a punt to bet on a Harriers win.
. I am sure they could manage 3,000+ crowds in League 2. Good luck to them I say, I am a big fan of The Rec as a footballing venue.
