Don't be, you wouldn't want to be mixing with the locals there mate.
Superb win today for Bootle in Vase, went behind 1-0 early on after some shocking defending let ball across the area for their striker to tap home, things got worse as Carl Dale was taken off injured soon after. Anthony Hickey, playing well out wide, beat the full back and finished well near post. In second half the return of Andy Fowler for Bootle, looked very lively for ten minutes before being sent off, dived in but was never a red card a yellow would have done, however, Mr Pedantic in the middle took exception. After a shocking piece of diving, which the ref fell for, by their keeper, Bootle got a penalty only for the excellent Paul McDonald to put it wide. So into extra time.
And after a uneventful first half big Paul Mc up front converted a free kick with a bullet header to send Bootle into round two, there was just enough time for Paul Mc himself to see red for a second yellow. All in all a good afternoon, 3 goals, missed pen, two reds, shiit load of bookings and one of the worst refereeing performances seen in a long long while.
