I’m not at all saying he’s a corrupt lineo, just that he made a serious error. It looks comfortably out of play.

Haha yes, even from this angle, it's definitely out! Ah well, bit of good fortune!

It's out Pete, bad error by the official. I couldnt care less, his mate on the opposite side should have flagged for a pen first half so swings and roundabouts

MVE’s left foot is planted parallel to the line and the ball which is parallel to that, is behind it. So it’s not in play

If it was the bloke needs an eye test and he should apologise
I’m with robins if it had gone fully out I suspect it would have been given
Remember the one in the play off semi final!! Lol
Glad it didn’t lead to a goal

Let's be honest, for decades that was universally accepted as out of play, then we had that silly arc of the ball bollocks at the world cup and now people are debating incidents like this!

Boosh.

Yeah, it's nuts.
The Japanese one shouldn't have been allowed in the World Cup either.
It's all gone micro-millimetric mad.
I can't see any official body apologising for that last night. It was just an error and my guess is the assistant's view was blocked a little by the legs of MVE and their defender. He can't give it as out of play if he can't see it can he.
Anyway, we got lucky, but no apology should be forthcoming.

Yeah, it's nuts.
By the same reasoning he can because if MVE is clearly off the pitch and the ball is obscured by him, it must be as well.

Thought the Green army were probably the best fans we’ve had at the CBS this season. Vocal throughout and respectful.
As for the football… For me Plymouth are the surprise package this year and look full of confidence. I expected a decent Ipswich season, but thought you’d struggle…that was based on nothing more than our first season back where we were holding onto games by our fingertips!!

Said elsewhere but you look very much like us first season up, it might get a bit close for comfort but you’ll be fine and will push on next season. If we can bring 1500 down to Home Park for the return leg I’ll be impressed!

That would be guesswork though would'nt it? Assumption.
MVE could be clearly off the pitch and the ball, not.
Anyway, I don't think there will be any apologies forthcoming.

Ive been critical of Haji this season but I think we just have to accept at times he looks clumsy and makes some really strange decisions but he keeps getting chances and on a lucky day he takes all the chances, so lets hope Robins gets into his head and makes him believe he's a world beater and not a carpet beater, Godden on the otherhand has chances created for him but is just way way too slow to take them, he had at least 2 chances last night where he was just outpaced and I don't think making him captain has improved him, he seems to rant and rave if the ball isn't passed to him and at 1 point last night he was berating one of our players (can't remember who it was) for playing a good pass but Godden didn't move for it, many times it has been said that if he isn't scoring he doesn't really add to the team and its starting to become more apparent every game now!
Very true. Millwall and Plymouth were noticeably poor in that respect

Few points...
1) Ball was out. However West Brom and Preston's goals against us recently shouldn't of been allowed, so we were due one.
2) Reminded me a lot of many games last season, where we were not great, but solid, and I always had a feeling we would win it, despite the first 15-20 mins of the 2nd half being shocking.
3) We looked more dangerous when Simms went down the middle. Suddenly we had a focal point up top, and Plymouth were really worried about him. I love Matty G, but this game was more suited to Simms. Shame it took Robins 70 mins to see that too.
4) Ayari - I hope Palmer is back on Saturday, as this guy shouldn't be on the pitch for us

Another example of making things complicated like “arm in a natural position”

I think Simms should start over Godden tbh, I get that Godden scored 1 of the goals against Milwall but to me Simms looks more threatening in the box with the ball at his feet, he runs at defenders with pace and has got a bit of strength/height that probably adds something extra to our game. Some of the runs around defenders that Simms made in the Stoke game were pretty decent tbf and whilst this is based on no evidence whatsoever I get the feeling that Godden and Wright’s link-up play doesn’t work well. It’s not too much of a criticism as we played pretty well but I would just rather see 3 pacy forwards and see what Simms can offer in that front 3 than see Godden every single week.

Was the ball out ? Looks like it from the angles we're seeing but only a millimetre of the ball has to be on the line for the ball to be in. Just look at any corner being taken anywhere. GOAL ! Fuck the whining sailors.

The 4-3-3 system has worked at turning around our form, but we gave up a fair few chances last night, and against Millwall on Sat.
Going to a bang in form Ipswich on Sat, on a ground we've never done well at, I would consider moving back to a wing back system, and a box midfield.

I was in line with it - it was over the line and everyone was assuming it wouldn’t be allowed
The linesman was hopelessly poor all game
I don’t understand why fans desperately try and justify clearly awful decisions when they go for us and try and justify the other way round when they go against us - we’d be very angry if that was the other way round

Even if you tweaked the system because your worried about getting beat, why would you drop Bidwell who is defensively much better and put Dasilva back in at LWB?

From that angle, it looks like it could be out of play, but it's hard to be certain. You would need a view along the line or goal-line technology to be sure. It also looks like the players' legs would have blocked the lineman's view so he would have to guess if it was in or out. And not easy in real-time

We were shipping goals until we went with 4 at the back and have 3 clean sheets in a row since. I really hope we don't.

Managed to watch most of the game last night and thought the following:
* The goal did look like it came from the ball being out. That said, it's hard to definitely say without a 'down the line' view. Although the linos were pretty poor all game, it's hard to blame them for that one as his obstruction would've been be blocked by the players. Not sure how the refs view was though.
* The 3 lads we've got from Barnsley (well, one from Burnley but you know what I mean), all seem to be developing into a strong and impressive unit at the back. Kitchings presence and range of passing is great.
* I thought Bidwell was quietly excellent last night. Some great deliveries into the box - he's definitely preferable to Da Silva.
* Really pleased for Wright. Yes he makes some what look like simple errors but he's still very early on in his Cov career and Gyo took ages to get proper firing for us. If you'd have said at the start of the season that he'd have 5 goals from his first 10 games, we would've taken it.
* Gooden was quiet and ineffective last night. But he's still a goal threat when he's got a chance. Just an off night from him last night. I'd keep the same starting line up on Saturday as Ipswich. We've got two wins with that line up so assuming Tats is ok, I'd go with the same again.
* I don't get the 'happy for CO'H to go in January' malarkey. I get the contract situation but that aside, he was quite clearly and important part of our team before he got injured. He's not going to be up to speed for a couple of months (at least). He's a quality player and one we should most definitely be looking to tie down on a new contract.

He’s not going to sign though, that’s clear. And we’ve moved on from him as a side with no obvious place in the team for him.

Lol I love how you keep saying you were in line with it like an old blokes view from the stands is somehow definitive versus all of the camera angles being debated
