FA CUP : Accy 0 Derby 1

Very lively atmosphere with the 5.400 sell-out crowd split down the middle in numbers with County's contingent of 2,600 making as much noise as the home support.

Ooh! Clark picks it up from near the halfway line. He dances his way through to the edge of the Derby box but his low left-footed drive goes two yards wide on '26. The Accy manager is having words with the fourth official on the touchline. Not sure what for, because ref Moss has done an alright job so far.

The Masons exchange handshakes on '38 as Mason Mount comes off for Derby and is replaced by Mason Bennett. I think Bennett is a striker and he replaces a midfielder. 

Even though Accy haven't had a shot on target yet the effort is there all over the field. One good breakaway and they could be in here. Derby are resolute in their defence and equally it could take a breakaway move for them to pot. Can't see many goals in this one, though. Could be a one-niller.

But wait, there's a goalmouth scramble in the Accy box. Several players are involved. Derby's Bogle goes down. Did he dive? Sykes thinks so and gives Bogle a little nudge with the toe of his boot. Bogle doesn't like that and gets up to chase Sykes. The ref settles it down and issues both players with a good telling-off. Play resumes.

Ref Moss blows up for half time. The Derby fans aren't happy that Bogle didn't get a penalty in that scramble incident and they're also unhappy that Sykes wasn't charged for his little dig at Bogle.

The players come off and the crowd disperses in search of their hot beverages and pies.

Gah, the short Derby corner on '78 is negotiated into the Accy six yard box by Holmes and there's a bit of a scramble before Waghorn loops it over the line for nothing-one.

You can't put it all on Balaser's earlier dismissal but right now he must be contemplating in his bath or shower what might have been had he only kept his head.
