Parkway drawing 2-2 would normally have been a great result away to Tiverton but I can’t help feel they thrown away 3 points there.  2 nil up and cruising with Tiverton playing poorly there was only one winner.  Then lane gets sent off again. And then Crago. And Tiverton score 2 late goals to snatch a draw. 
Lee seemed to suggest the sending off were due to poor officiating but I’m concerned lane as captain has now been sent off twice on first 5 games. There also been other silly bookings   . Discipline needs looking at.

On the face of it, yes, 2 points dropped rather than a point gained. A huge leap forward though, and a big improvement on the chaos of the start of the month.  Reading Tivvy fans social media, they are far from happy with what is going on at Ladysmead currently both on and off the pitch. They were probably there for the taking.

Regarding the refereeing,there is a danger that it's becoming a mental block at Parkway.  Nobody at Mousehole or Tavistock in the Southern League, or Truro City (who are all presumably officiated to the same standards) appear to get as wound up about it. Don't know what the specific offences were for either Ryan Lane or Jack Crago, but would think that it would be a good idea to work on looking at and eradicating the offences. Don't know if it would be allowed, but could a local ref be brought in to oversee a training match and apply the latest interpretation of the laws, talk with the players and give explanations as to why these decisions were reached? Carrying on as it is now, receiving red cards and then ranting about the officials afterwards, is proving a costly exercise.
