    It's on the extended highlights package and pleased to see that it is included.

    Well, first we have Lindsay messing about on Tuesday night and now his partner joins in! It was NO penalty but oh my goodness Ethan! Stop trying to be Beckenbauer all the time. The ball came in from AH but was cleared towards the bottom corner of the penalty area where Pinnock had the opportunity to cushion a header back to Davies who, to his credit, was haring towards the ball. Instead Ethan tried to chest it down and then hoof clear with his right foot. Hammill was on his shoulder and literally threw himself sideways at the trailing leg. He stayed down for some time, feigning injury and thank goodness the ref wasn't conned. No penalty - not in a million years.

    That was the one blot on Hammill's day who was applauded enthusiastically at the start of the match and at the end. Shame he had to try that trick.

    I thought not at the time. I sit in that part of the Ponty.

    Scunny fans thought it was Stonewall from their excellent viewpoint at the opposite end of the ground.

    Has hammill said owt on social media?
