Here is the poor bee which was then escorted out the window. No sting!!

Game 5️⃣2️⃣

Swindon Supermarine 1-2 Taunton Town
Southern Premier South (Step 3)
👥 373

Writing on wall for Marine in first mins when keeper off injured with no res on bench. Peacocks comfortable in win could have won by more

Game 50

Totton & Eling 1-2 Whitchurch United

Last minute winner following a defensive mix up. 2 pens scored. Ref all over the place. Whitchurch deservedly winners but T&E could have easily had 2 more pens

Fantastic end to end game. Fantastic goal from Cotterill. Referee appalling. The battle of the 2 Smiths was good fun. Appropriate outcome. Will Wright penalty attached

It was always going to be difficult for me to have my all time favourite #DoctorWho story edited down from 4 hours to 90 minutes

But it was fun & great for new fans but I felt the editing was messy, the music dated & the additional bits like bad fan made stuff

6/10

Game 29

Premier League
Brentford 0-2 Nottingham Forest

Forest defence outstanding. Hitting Brentford with 2 sucker punches. Bees v unlucky not to get a goal. Ref Oliver as usual making it about him #groundhopping

Game 28

Premier League
Chelsea 2-1 Brentford
Att. 39,571

Sunday night Premier League football. Chelsea probably edged it but Bees put up a huge 2nd half performance. Cucurella’s antics unsurprisingly gained a post match sending off
