With their late winner and what sounds like a horrific injury for Connor Kirby, that sounded like a dreadful afternoon.

[One Foot in the Grave]

RR were of the opinion that Brad Jackson should only have seen yellow, and that the "penalty" was a joke.

Connor Kirby's is injury is far more concerning than that however.

I was sat two rows in front of them and so had the same view and reached the same conclusion.  Jackson wasn’t a violent challenge just a cynical foul two yards into our half.

Penalty was pretty close range shot and it did hit his arm as he spun round so when it hit the back of his arm it wasn’t tucked tight to his side but  certainly wasn’t in an unnatural position of making his body bigger. Never a pen for me but I guess it’s one of those that VAR might not have over turned as a ‘clear and obvious error’ because it did hit his arm.

I’m just back from the game and surprised to read these comments. To me, it was a nailed on red card for Brad, a terrible tackle that we would have been screaming for red. The penalty is more subjective but his arm was raised and not by his side from where I was and it didn’t surprise me when he pointed to the spot.

Can only wish Connor all the best, it looked really nasty and can only hope if it’s broken that it’s a ‘clean’ break without complications.

We missed so many chances today I lost count. As willing a runner as he is, Daninga seems to be poor at positioning when crosses come into the box and often tries to do too much when he gets that part right. He really should have had a hat trick today.

Fozz told me that Connor Kirby has broke his ankle.

The fact that the poor lad had to wait an hour for an ambulance is pathetic in this day and age.
One of the stewards told me that when they rang for an ambulance they were initially told it would be 5 hours.

Had a beer prior to the kick off and met a few of their fans who were very friendly.

Re the game. Thought we should have won it. But as Hughsey said .. they should get their heads up ready for Tuesday night.

Kosylo needs to stop chopsing or he will get booked more often than not.

Connor update just been put on Alty website...

Following the serious injury suffered in the second half of yesterday's 1-0 defeat at Wealdstone, Connor Kirby was taken to St.Mary's Hospital in Paddington and has a double compound fracture of his left leg.

Club Director, Neil Faulkner and Football Director, Rob Esteva accompanied Connor to the hospital & his girlfriend arrived at 10pm to be with him.

The 23-year-old midfielder, who has had such a positive start to the season will be operated on today and will be in hospital for 5-7 days.

Everyone at Altrincham Football Club wishes Connor well with his operation and that he is able to make as speedy a recovery as possible from his serious leg injury.

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank Wealdstone for their help and support in ensuring that Connor, whose birthday was on Friday, received the help he needed.

Our talented medical team of Ryan Murray and Ryan Spencer, who were quick to act as per usual, ensured that the Harrogate Town loanee will get the best possible chance of returning to the pitch as soon as possible.

Further updates will be provided in due course.

Wealdstone fans doing a bucket collection for Connor at their next home game.

Classy gesture.

Well done to all concerned at Wealdstone for their fundraising efforts.

Just seen the highlights, its a very very harsh red. Defo grounds for an appeal.

Nailed on pen though

Thompson has virtually reached the penalty spot by the time the Wealdstone player takes that penalty kick!
