The knife-edge that the game rested on for much of the match was completely tipped in St John's favour due to a familiar looking linesman. His consistently bad decisions cost us dearly on numerous occasions, flagging for every poor throw, dodgy tackle, and punted clearance. 
 
His reign of terror culminated in the referee awarding St Johns no less than four penalties.   
 
He was obviously on the take, as after the match, I saw him counting up his fourteen pound coins, and rubbing his hands with glee. "Lovely Jubbly," he said.

The team: (4-4-2 r-l): Giles; Jon, Dom, Steve F (Matt C 60), Irish Pete; Sean, Ken, Will (Rich 45), Jim; Big Phil (MH Pete 45), Tom
