I`ll write something about this game when I come back from the pub.
Back now, Today we went at Montrose from the word go, which was good to see - the difference from earlier games was that we got something for our troubles with a well taken goal in a 1st half that we dominated. Now some people thought we should have scored more than 1 and we did have chances, but I say lets be grateful that we scored, we have played well in a few games and not put the ball in the net. The 2nd half we lost our momentum a bit and Montrose came back into it - but they had to and only Arsenal are going to be able to dominate a game for an entire 90 mins. We still had some chances in the 2nd half as did Montrose but it was still dissappointing to see them score with a free kick with only 7 mins remaining, their players celebrations showed how much they thought they had `got out of jail`.
One curious thing right at the end - the referee did not properly signal the end of the game! He blew one blast on his whistle (instead of the usual 3) and the players in the centre of the park all stopped and looked at him as if to say `well, what is it?` after a bizzare couple of seconds the ref, realising nobody knew what he had blown for made a motion for the ball to be given to him and the players walked off shrugging their shoulders - never seen a game ended like that before!
