@coachmatt88 said: “It was shocking. Flanagan wins it cleanly and the keeper misjudges the flight of the ball”

@Richard_Purdom commented: “Poor refereeing for me. Flanagan is perfectly entitled to make that challenge”

@smeghead1701 joked: “Weird, these League one refs are normally so good!”

@petefeet67 tweeted: “wow how on earth was Flanagans goal ruled out, just got ahead of keeper and headed in. We really are a poor team but get no luck whatsoever.”

@Caltermole added: “Even after the replay I've no idea what it was given for”
