WAREHAM RANGERS 4 EASTON UNITED 2 CHRIS Wilson was left fuming by the referee’s performance as Easton United crashed to just their second Dorset Senior League defeat of the season, 4-2 at Wareham Rangers.

The United manager was dismissed from the touchline just 15 minutes in and was left baffled by a number of other decisions that has led the club to pursue action against the official.

However, he blamed his side’s defeat on their own defensive naivety as the back four he threw together just a few hours before kick off struggled to cope, despite United’s dominance of possession.

“We are dominating possession and dominating large periods of the game but not hurting teams when the opportunity arises for us,” said Wilson. “We had a lot of players out Saturday and I threw a back four together at 11 o’clock because we had four of our six regular defenders out – I even had to sign a player on the day.

“I have to admit I was worried at the start of the game and defensively we were a bit naive at times and it has cost us the game.”

Wareham scored either side of half-time, the first Wilson called a “dubious free kick”, before Shane Sheridan pulled one back after neatly converting Matt Burch’s cross.

Rangers scored again before Burch cut in from the wing and buried his shot past the home side’s goalkeeper.

Wilson was then seething again after a Wareham defender failed to see red for taking out Burch when the United player was clean through.

Easton did not score from the free-kick and Wareham went straight down the other end to finish the match off.

“I though the match official was disgraceful,” said Wilson. “I’m not pinning the result on him but he sent me off after 15 minutes, which I find completely disgraceful.

“I’m not going any further into it because we are pursuing avenues to sort this out.”
