No positives to take tonight, utter shite

Bump for this which was my favourite early evening rant last night

 

[richnrg]

I particularly enjoyed the antics of 'Fatso' in the Pompey end last night.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Wow so whole foot can be in the pitch if the heel is on the white line

No it doesnt. So long as part is touching the white line thats OK

 

[steve cooper]

If we can play that well with 9 players, maybe we should try 8 on saturday

 

[Johhny Blue]

They will train today in the afternoon and tomorrow and Friday morning, they will just be on light duties though won't be running around like a bunch of lunatics.

Except for Kastaneer.

..who will be sliding down the hill at Abbey fields on a metal tray

 

[Johhny Blue]

Anyone think that might not be the only red card dabo picks up this season?

Or Kastaneer

 

[Johhny Blue]

The most satisfying thing about this game is that we would have lost this last season. The circumstances of this result is heroic.

If we can nick a point at Fratton Park with 9 men playing badly, it begs the question of what can we do playing well?

Draw at Bolton?

 

[Johhny Blue]

Not against the rules:

Kastaneer taking his dog for a walk?

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Cemented his place as an impact sub!

As long as MR tells him it doesn't mean with the opposition.

 

[Kieranp96]

Except for Kastaneer.

Ay

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Changed the rule a while back as long as part of the foot is behind the line it's legal.

Doesn't seem to matter if you move ten yds along the line though

 

[M&B Stand]

Games lost. Just need to make sure we dont lose 5/6-1

You ever tried your hand at motivational speaking?

Couldn't handle the eleventy billionth thread created just on last night

 

[Mild-Mannered Janitor]

Dean Saunders would be ok with the rules still.

 

[Adge]

No. Looking at the pictures off the throw there is no way an official is going to give a foul through for his big toe being over the line on the pitch when a throw has been taken.

Which one?

Missed the incident when Dabo got his red card and their subsequent disallowed fourth goal because that fat git.

 

[Skyblueweeman]

He took it in good humour to be fair!

same here! He was good fun, to be fair, as Skyblueweeman points out.

 

[Gibbo]

Would Willis, with his greater speed, recovered from making the mistake McFadzean did and caught his man?

 

[ajsccfc]

If it's the same mistake where they've stumbled I don't think there's enough time for anyone to make up the distance really, you're relying on the striker to miss or the keeper to stop him there I think

 

[Esoterica]

Not a chance, not when caught flat footed like that. Would Willis have been trying to do what McFadzean was in the first place though? Probably not either. But we have retained possession many times over the first few games because of his greater quality on the ball and that will result in goals over the course of the season.

Yes and pass back to Burge. Goal

Read the screenshot of the rules I posted. As long as some part of each foot is touching the white line or behind it, it’s a valid throw.

Would Willis have picked out Godden for our first for example?

That was Kelly...

 

[shmmeee]

That was Kelly...

My bad. Don’t know why I thought it was McFadzean

 

[matesx]

My bad.......grrrrrrrr

 

[SBbucks]

At the game I thought it was Rose, only saw it was Kelly from the highlights
