SA player got fouled just inside the box, no fk given, Nigeria break on the counter and score. VAR pops up, play gets pulled back for a pen to SA. They score and take it to ET.

What a chance that was.

Don't recall a VAR decsion quite like it. Unbelievable.

What a dramatic and brilliant intervention from VAR. 1-1

Good 45 for there for SA. From what i have seen from them this tournamet they are one of the most organised sides, good team ethic. No real star players to rely on. They just need that goal.

Chris Martin has been sent off

Likewise. He did get a couple of shoves before they escorted him off. Fine and more reds for sure.

Totally bonkers game. There is nothing quite like AFCON.

Started today and has an assist.

He said we don't have a deal in place but they know he will be available in the summer. Doesn't mean he will sign of course but having him on loan first might give us a better chance...might not!

We were a class below them tonight. Fortunate that they didn't score more, a 1-0 hiding! We can certainly play a hell of a lot better but that was a difficult game to watch.

We have a nest egg that's about to hatch!

I've also been enjoying it. It's as random as ever and this tournament, seeing the big boys go out only adds to it. One of my best mates is SA so i've been right behind them, a huge upset tonight. Caught the last 15 after our game, saw a red card, missed pen and the second goal. You never know what you are going to get in any AFCON game. The atmosphere in games is so different to a European match, no songs or chanting as we'd recognise it but they do no stop!

Remember it well, it was bloody freezing that day.

Probably the price tag v performances if you are a Utd fan. I hear you though.

I've got Fox and Lusardi in. Cracking pair up front.

He seems like a top bloke as well. Very humble and well spoken after the game.

Well done Maidstone, remarkable. Keeper plays a blinder and they score 2 good goals from only 2 chances.

They've kept themselves in it and scored two lovely goals on the break. Classic cup stuff. Definitely a foul in the build up for the 2nd, the non league teams need a little luck.

...of sprinklers.

Well, he's had a damn good run. Not many managers get to leave when they choose.

I think you might be disappointed Yousef...

Thats £320 sub+ £70 for a shirt and shorts. I'm sure I read on here they charge kids in their academy for their kit. No idea if true.

Would love to see Chris Martin signing for someone else on deadline day.

One of those players, who whilst he wasn't blessed with loads of attributes or ability, he had totally mastered his own game and knew full well how to use it to good effect. Really difficult opponent to play against and the number of goals scored was a huge bonus. Didn't the story go that Cotts bumped into him whilst in a gym on his hols in Dubai? Asked him if he fancied it and the rest is history? Marvelous signing for us.
