In this episode of Door Wars we see Cardiff supporters refused entry unless they bring three forms of photo ID and two living great grand parents.

What a lot of fuss about nothing!
I think they may have eased off a bit lately but over recent weeks the door security has been very annoying and petty at times. Not only that they claim to be keeping us all safe but the inconsistent way it’s been done has done little more to keep us safe.

Mark has made an attempt to introduce humour into a situation very much not a fuss about nothing in my opinion. Our security is important and not to be done in the ill considered way it has been.

This certainly won’t go down as a Steelers v Cardiff classic, but I’ll certainly take the win.

Need Glasgow to do us a favour.
A shootout win for Glasgow, couldn't ask any more from them in all reality.
I agree. It’s still Belfast’s to lose though.

Nottingham could also have a big say too yet.

Crikey that was a hard watch.

I’ve got to say, aside from players like Tansey, Dowd, Juisala and Tremblay, we don’t have anyone else who can take the game by the scruff of the neck and make things happen.

I feel that there are far too many players that don’t want to get dirty and dig in.

Levens body language is awful, Vally seems way off and Guimond, - no comment.

It all feels very vanilla when we should be chomping at the bit.

Leavens I think is frustrated as he knows his season just hasn't been good enough. Shows flashes of good play but just can't seem to put it all together and then makes an error. Vally has slowed down and just can't get a step on D men anymore when they gap well. I actually think he'd do a good job lower down the lines as he's still defensively responsible, and can still snipe given a half chance. Guimond is just past his sell by date - can see he was good, but we're about 4 years too late on him.

Cormier was top drawer again. Best D at the moment, although Tansey has looked good all weekend and Sauce is starting to show signs of getting back to his best. The tracking through the neutral zone was so much better tonight - Cardiff rarely had an odd man break and everyone had their guy on zone entries. Much better than the last few weeks.

Hopefully Simpson and Diffley will be available next weekend but Fox didn't sound positive last night on them.

It's still Belfast's to lose, but it's also very much still game on.

I don’t know what angle he saw that from but every view we had and the referees said differently. Bowns was already down and thought he had made the save but the puck trickled away. A simple tap in was all that was needed to see it home.

Vallerand made contact with Bowns but as part of a follow through to make a play at a loose puck. It's a legit play and Vallerand tries to get out of crease immediately. Perfectly good goal

Think he needs a visit to Specsavers then.

There was no goalie interference at all.

It was called as a goal on the ice.
It was called as a goal after an extensive video review.
Pete Russell is just another whinging coach looking for an excuse.
