The penalty that wasn't

Wow. How have both the ref and the lino missed it.

Even during the win streak, there was a lot of performances like this

Tbf, yeah we were poor at lot but found a way to win. Hopefully tonight's the same.

 

[stupot07]

EMC has looked better today, but his end product is nowhere near good enough. He is all fart no poo.

 

[SkyBlueAussie]

Tats needs to come back and give Milan a hand with Murphy.

 

[Otis]

The penalty that wasn't

As they just said on Sky "Handball? He nearly caught it!"

100% stonewall pen.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Which player was it that fouled Torp?

Dozzell ,same player who nearly caught the ball for the penalty

 

[Evo1883]

Wow. How have both the ref and the lino missed it.

Awful

 

[Otis]

Dozell I thought.

Yup. It was.

 

[Gint11]

Stonewall penalty. How the ref hasn’t made that call with the view he had is baffling.

I just feel our passing is too safe and sometimes 5 yards too deep. We didn’t register a shot on target until 36 mins or something.

A bit more urgency, forward passing and 5 yards further up. You wouldn’t think playoffs are on the line at the minute.

 

[Hobo]

Sakamoto is incredibly frustrating, he never ever tries the early ball, it's five touches and a pass inside

Have been saying it all season. Wants to beat his man twice then come inside. So predictable. The annoying thing is, he can cross with both feet.

 

[ccfc922]

Wow. How have both the ref and the lino missed it.

No, no, no.... respect the refs!!! How dare you criticise them!!!

 

[Briles]

As me old man just said, refs union got it in for lamps after the weekend

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Wow. How have both the ref and the lino missed it.

It was the ref he was no more than 10 m away perfect view decided it wasn’t handball

 

[ccfc922]

100% stonewall pen.

Great save tbf.

Should try a shot.

 

[ccfc922]

May have missed it, but why why isn't FL banned tonight?

I can see a 2nd charge incoming tonight on this officials showing.

 

[covmark]

Saka decent? Really?

Yeah, he's been pretty decent. He's been looking to take people on, as well as taking 5 touches and then passing, as you surmised. He's had one player booked ,and should have been another, by taking them on.

 

[duffer]

Stealing a living these officials. 3 mins? Torp was down for more than that

Absolutely. That plus Sheaf having to go through the laundry basket to find a shirt. Must've been at least five mins, that stoppage.

(What is it with players on the bench not wearing shirts these days?)

Anyhow, maybe the ref was doing us a favour, it didn't look like we were going anywhere in particular.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Part of me thinks with how many direct balls we play down the middle, we’d be better to play Simms there and have Wright/EMC on the wing again. Either that or play the ball on the ground

 

[ccfc922]

Anyway, Come on City!!!!

 

[Hobo]

It was a clear handball and a penalty. But apart from that and Rudoni's header we have been poor. Portsmouth look the more likely.

 

[bawtryneal]

Anyone have anything positive to say ?
Think we are going okay.

Yep, this pretty much sums it up.

 

[Osullivan18]

Which player was it that fouled Torp?

Dozzell

 

[skyblu3sk]

EMC has looked better today, but his end product is nowhere near good enough. He is all fart no poo.

Remember he was like this before his hot spell.

 

[RoysterE17]

Anyone have anything positive to say ?
Think we are going okay.

Collins hasn't conceded!!

 

[Peter Billing Eyes]

Collins hasn't conceded!!

Hex….

 

[larry_david]

Playing against a team who have lost 11 out of 12 away and were being so fucming negative that it's giving them hope. We should have gone at these like terriers

Rudoni there in space and choosing to run past their player to pass it backwards

 

[fernandopartridge]

Portsmouth just moving the ball forward quickly and looking more dangerous because of it. We are just so slow

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I’d actually look to take Grimes off for Allen

 

[Ccfcisparks]

This ref is unbelievable

 

[Nick]

What the fuck just happened? We had the ball. He gets in the way


He gives it them

 

[JohnWH]

Ha wtf

 

[Osullivan18]

That is fucking disgusting from the ref

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

How the fuck does that work Ref
