Two unsportsmanlike fouls - the first was to throw his helmet to the ground whilst on the field of play, and the second was a threat to an opponent to get him after the game.

The game was delayed fifteen minutes for the late arrival of the ambulance which had gone to the original venue as Birmingham were forced to find an alternative in less than 24 hours.
The Birmingham game management deserves credit as they managed to find and mark out a pitch in such short notice.

The game was suspended for 30 minutes to treat an injured Glasgow player who was removed from the pitch by the ambulance crew.
They then, left the grounds to transfer the player to an incoming County ambulance which meant we had to delay the game a further 20 minutes.
It was at this point with the agreement of both Head Coaches that it was decided to take half-time and play the remaining 6 minutes of the second quarter together with the whole of the second half.

There were no 5 yard lines, the endzone at one end was 8 yards and the short yard-line extensions at the inbounds line were to far apart so cones were used instead.
The game was suspended for 30 minutes for a Dundee to be taken to hospital with what looked like a serious neck injury.
Once again Plaudits for both teams who played a hard fought and entertaining game in poor conditions.

Chain crew were changed at half time without warning and we had to wait until they had been re-briefed before we could start the second half.
There is also no separate toilet in the changing rooms and the shower is at the end of the corridor (you have to share with the teams).
