The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

3-1:

@AFCRD: 3-1 Whitworths, Judge again. Promptly sent off for mooning the De Banke!

FFS.

Full-time presumably. Does anyone that witnessed it want to add anything?

Dear oh dear, cant believe I just read that, after what their fans did, I would image, the whitworths top brass would be fuming, I would expect the lad to be shown the door. Also, if someone complains or the police saw it, it would be an arrestable offence.

Whitworths just make themselves look a complete bunch of thugs, dont they??

We improved in the second half after Merrill came on and started to create chances, hit the bar more than once I think and in the end we were unlucky not to have scored more but finishing wasn't quite there today and we were undone by an awesome strike by one of their players in extra time. I'm sure it'll be useful for some of the youngsters today coming up against a pretty decent Whitworth side today, not sure who was who tbh but some of them looked promising.

Can't say I'm disappointed we're out, I know its been said before, but I'd rather we don't have to have a home league game postponed because of a county cup game again. On a positive note, what a brilliant attendance, more than I can ever remember us getting for a county cup game at NP, don't think we even got 500 for a final either, I wonder whether some people turned up expecting a league game (as that's what the fixture list given out at the last game of course states), my dad certainly didn't realise it was a cup match today.

Didn't see what Judge did to get sent off, but the way he reacted to the dismissal summed him up.

I doubt Whitworths will show him the door, as he seems to score goals for them.

Overall I think the best team won on the day. Was a quality goal from them in Extra time though.

Some one diid complain, and to the officials from the Northants FA too, should be fun 8-)

Judging by the way they were laughing and the joint managers (as in one brain cell between them) were high fiving him, I'd be surprised

I heard that a complaint was made too! Will see what happens

Mooner is pretty chuffed with himself on Facebook.

Suffice to say i'm pleased we're out. Can I assume due to the lack of negative comments that the Whitworths fans managed to behave? Even if their players couldn't...

Even tho we may well not wanted to advanced, the players did give their all against what we know is a decent Whitworths side. Players to come out with positives will be Foulger, Gillingwater and Morgan. Not seen too much of Okechukwu but he was poor today and rightly replaced early in the second for the impressive Merrill in the centre. He could possibly make that role permenenet with O'Grady at right back with a long-throw.
