Another game which could have gone either way. I hope you enjoy these highlights. Tom Howe and Gareth Davies are the commentators.

Steve Massey's post match interview with Gareth

 

[sportsman10]

That has to be 2 of the worse penalty decision I have seen in a long time. 
The first one was a ridiculous dive I don’t understand how the ref or linesman hasn’t seen it.  And the 2nd is just shoulder to shoulder strength from the defender  and tucker falls over. Street must be absolutely fuming watching that. 
if that was the other way round Massey and bowker would be all over social media ripping the officials to bits. 
very very lucky win. 

[Footy follower]

Just watched it.. 1st one a shocking dive and should be a booking(although refs position may have been obscured) 

2nd one was less clear cut..... 1st angle I thought it was another blatant dive... But the 2nd angle showed an arm across Tuckers neck so I'm inclined to say that was a penalty. 

Why Bowker is ever left on the bench is beyond me as he shows(albeit on a highlight video) that he is the team's talisman

Have to agree that the first one was no way a penalty while the second was a bit more of a block by the Street defender.

As for Bowks and being left on the bench - he has in fact started 15 of the 20 Helston games, only being a sub on 5 occasions and so not a bad record. Ryan Turner seems to be the most favoured forward - 19 starts and 1 sub.

I have to agree here. I was at the game yesterday, but refrained from commenting on the penalty decisions until I'd seen the highlights. I didn't have the best view, with both 'fouls' happening on the other side of the box from the clubhouse side. The first one is a very clear dive. You'd be embarrassed to watch that back and see it on social media. The second one is not as straightforward. However, I still believe it wasn't a penalty. I'd liked to have seen another view of the challenge that happened a split second before the final whistle. It has to be said, Street weren't very happy at all there. Could that have been a foul? The refereeing performance wasn't the best today. Going by his interview afterwards, Steve Massey knew it as well. A lucky win going by the score and the two very dubious penalty awards. However, Helston were definitely the better footballing side. They just didn't have enough quality on the day to break through!

Stuart Bowker is definitely the vocal point of the team. He's very much improved over recent seasons I think. A very good player, who could comfortably play a division or two higher. When he's on it, he'd be an absolute nightmare to defend against. If there was one criticism, he perhaps tries too hard sometimes. It's the same for some of the other big players there too. They need to take the pressure off of themselves a bit. They could play even better if they just relax and express themselves a bit more. Although I do recognise it's much easier to say that when you're just a spectator on the touchline!

The first was a clear embarrassing dive by the winger,  you seem to think the 2nd was possibley a pen, I'd have to disagree. The defender is twice the size of the winger both ran for the ball where else was him arm suppose to go? It wasn't blatent it was just a coming together and because the winger is a lot shorter the arm just happens to be positioned by his head, not blatent... And he went down again in an embarrassing fashion. 

 

Just remember Helston moaned about officials not so long ago. 

 

Stu bowker has to be first name on team sheet, veal hasn't hit the heights as expected that signing on fee getting to him haha has that lad from Newquay even done much besides a few step overs? 

 

Although the way they won the game, looking at the highlights it did look like they deserved the win. Although at HT you said they could of found themselves 2 nil Down yet didn't show any streets chances 1st half, so just wondering if they are edited to make Helston look on top.

I did my best to be fair as always. No clear chances for Street in first half. The could have gone 2 up in second.

I would never do that. Helston we’re on top. Street has a couple of break away chances in second half.

That Orlando lad thinks he ronaldo. If you look at his Twitter page he got plenty of self promoted videos of his step overs. Who even does that 😂  

i think he find the sort of defenders he try’s that with in this league will cut him in half. Might struggle  to be fair wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up back at Newquay

Watched the game and Bowker was outstanding. Helston not much without Bowker or Tucker. Hope for Helston they avoid injury.

The Helston bench knew they had got away with one yesterday with those pens. They were very vocal yesterday, especially when they went one behind. All part of the game these days to try to intimidate the officials. In this case it clearly worked!

Had to laugh when they were moaning all half about the Lino in front of them not making decisions but didn't say a word when he didn't intervene on the penalty decisions which happened right in front of him. Asked the lino what he thought after the 1st one and he just puffed out his cheeks! Ref never asked his opinion though on either decision.

The question mark after "easy street" gives the meaning to the headline.

Asking a question,  or tongue in cheek,  it's for the reader to decide.

Simply a play on words.

As for the first penalty, referee slightly un-sighted I would think so from where he was could have easily looked like a penalty...but blatant cheating in anyone's book...sad reflection of today's football. 

Second penalty from where the referee was would have been a stonewall penalty,  but the fella was certainly looking to go over again...oh! dear.

Helston easily the better side and on another day would have won comfortably without the cheating.

Mark, I thought the save that Cory Harvey made in the first half was decent. Or so it looked at the time. It was the one where the Street striker ran in on the left hand side, struck it with his left foot, aiming to put it across the keeper in to the far corner. However, Cory saved well with his feet. For what it's worth, I enjoy watching such high quality highlights every weekend. It's something you rarely get at this level. It's very helpful for those who struggle to attend games, like myself. It also helps keep in touch with how the club are doing!

[The Observer__]

Cheating!  No other way to describe it. The player should be ashamed of himself.  
 

The Referee hardly covering himself in glory either. Not close enough to make a concrete decision. No wonder they get hammered.

Are you implying that referees have to work to two different sets of rules in the same game? One for adults and one for kids? That must be fraught with danger and how would a referee know how old the player is? And before you get abusive, it’s a genuine question

It’s all in the FA guidance … nothing to do with two sets of rules in the same game, but all players staff and officials have a safeguarding responsibility!!!

Officals should be made aware of U18s  playing in open age football .. they should also have all necessary DBS checks etc…

Imagine if said CF took it to far and punched or head butted a 17 year old… (thinking they were an adult) assaulting a minor isn’t a good look..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Assaulting any player (regardless of age) isn't a good look.

Really show's you've never set foot on a pitch at any respected level 🤡

[Roche Raider]

Played in several leagues up and down the country, from University level down to Sunday league and have had the unfortunate displeasure of time and time again,sharing a football pitch with nasty pieces of work who try to mask it with words such as 'competitive' or 'heart on sleeve'. These individuals apply a win at all costs rhetoric which often sees serious intent to injure or maim their opponent. Will only get worse with referee shortages, which will see volunteers (mates down the pub) step in and give a free license to these 'cage fighters' to do and wish as they please purely because they want their mates to win.


Only an idiot would make excuses for these individuals, who plague the grassroots game and have done so for far too long.

When these imbeciles are taken out of the game, maybe we will have a more respected game and more referees to go with it!

You tell me. Who the **** want's to travel best part of an hour in this county to waste 4-5 hours of their weekend in the company of vile, reprehensible people who can't differentiate between good sporting contests and GBH. Not to mention the out and out determination to be as toxic as possible all in the name of 'being a winner'.

You only have to look at reports filed in the last year of referees being beaten up and their cars smashed in. Does anyone really want to be 'part of the game' when the game's like that?

I've seen a certain striker of Bodmin Town say some of the most abhorrent things to an elderly gentleman on a touchline in the past. Disgusting.

I don't know Stu Bowker personally but have watched him a plenty. He is a pain in the ass for defenders, gives it and takes it, and leads the line well. He does get a little too involved sometimes to the detriment of his own game but no one can doubt his dedication to the Helston cause and sets many an example to youngsters on how to succeed at both football and life. It's not everybody's way but it is his way and I've seen plenty of thugs in my time and he ain't one of them

It was a generalisation but let's be clear, how many managers say things like "put one on him" or "let him know you're there" that's clearly interpretated to smash the living daylights out of them.

You can be win at all costs and NOT run round like you've escaped Dartmoor with a machete. 

It's this, coupled with the systematic abuse of the man with the whistle, as to why our game is absolutely ****ed
