@razor5edge: (Gates)head’s gone
@RFCJoeJ: Tf is going on
@Love_non_league: Balboa v Korboa 🥊
@reallordgreen: God bless English football 😂
@Connor_RiceyGFC: Absolutely disgusting, should promote Gateshead to League 2 because of it
@Kierancarroll_: A red card in a game of football because the opposing team has thrown a punch? Judging by Beeches games, this can’t be a rule
@megamarvatron: Fighting man Rob Elliott picking up where Iron Mike Williamson left off.
@RUFCJacques: Footballing tweet of the year 2024.
@JakePetrolhead: The National League is the best league in England.
@leecarty94: Bad man Rob Elliot hahaha
@gazevans2022: Non league is fantastic.
@LiamButler03: Vintage Vanarama
@BENJR2015: Can we report the ref? But what a second half from the boys. That is the standard now. COYC!!!🔴⚪️🔴⚪️
@FMSULLY87: Excellent performance and duly deserved in second half. Ref needs to be reported for his shocking display
@graememorton: The ref found so much stoppage time the scoreboard stopped
@TheDB30: Hopefully more lads coming back from injury will present opportunities for rotation. Far from an excuse maker but the amount of games and excessive travelling does catch up with you eventually… dust ourselves down, go again Saturday, safe journey home everyone 👍
@IronsCrofty: That is the worst referee performance I have ever witnessed at any level in 50 years plus of watching the game.
@GlenH1292: One of the most bizarre games I have seen in a long time. I’m not normally one to criticise referees but I must reiterate he was truly dreadful. Huge win though. Beat Kiddy and we’re back in with a chance.
@RyanBro11591296: Meh ah well. Come too far and too much to play for to whine and moan. Straight into the next one no worries boshhh
@nathancoulson98: Good first half, but extremely poor in the second half. We didn’t respond to the changes Woking made and in the end they deserved all three points. Big missed opportunity to make a statement in the playoff race, hopefully we bounce back on Saturday
@HarryWheel21: I was not expecting that tonight but we keep fighting till the end!! Also the ref was beyond dreadful worst one I have seen I think ever @wokingfc 🔴⚫️⚪️
@Toonpedro: Unlucky lads, a lot of travelling in the last couple of weeks and with a thread bare squad, the lads have done great and just a bit unlucky not to get something tonight.
@AdamCFC22: Fair play to everyone who travelled. Shame you had to see that refereeing performance…
@HeedFan: Its not the end of the world. Very leggy in the 2nd half, we move on. I’m still extremely proud of our lads. Like we said on the podcast. After everything that’s gone on, were still doing exceptionally well.
