What so many yellow cards, 4 of them to Pompey. Are Pompey falling for Barton's táctics of winding up the opposition? If we get a player sent off, let just get oñe of their's sent off as well.
Attempt blocked. Sean Raggett (Portsmouth) right footed shot from the right side of the box is blocked. Assisted by Andrew Cannon with a cross. 45 + 3 mins. Half time whistle, and it's 0-0.
Yes Ides. The referee has lost control literally. We have committed 6 fouls so far, resulting in 4 bookings ! That is a high ratio of bookings per foul. Fleetwood have committed 11 fouls so far, but have received 3 yellows (2 of them for dissent, 1 for a foul !). Their players are getting away with murder tonight.
