[Liquid Gold]

Ref literally playing for them now

[Paul Anthony]

How does he figure that one out then?

 

[pusbccfc]

I'm speechless

 

[Alkhen]

What the fuck was that

 

[SkyblueTexan]

WTf ref...playing as an extra Postsmouth player

 

[Briles]

What in the name of christ was that from the ref?

 

[larry_david]

It's the rules as pass was played from the box

 

[Marty]

I think Allen instead of Sheaf would have been the better change. Missing something in midfield.

 

[JohnWH]

This game is one giant headache with other migraines trying to take over

 

[OldBedrocker]

Should be a drop ball where it hits him?

 

[MalcSB]

Fucking hell, now what has Ward done - and why?

 

[Nick]

It's the rules as pass was played from the box

We were clearly in possession

 

[robbiekeane]

genuinely is this ref on the fucking take

 

[jto123]

Time to be proactive and recognise this isn’t working. Changes needed. Referee shocking again.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Has Gavin Ward been biased against us ever since he inexplicably give us a questionable penalty against Notts County in the league two play offs?

 

[Frostie]

Two absolutely shocking decisions in that half. First, blatant penalty for handball; he lifted his hands to block the ball, it's not even for debate.

Second, not to book that bloke for a cynical foul. How was it not a booking? Just because you've played on, doesn't make it better.

Saying that, we've not been very good; it's all so slow, and they have chance to get into position.

Wright's our best player, by a distance. He's more effective, and more involved, when he plays on the left. Therefore, play him there. EMC's decent, but he's not Wright. We're hamstringing ourselves playing our best player where he's not as involved in the game.

That is literally the law, the reasoning being that, by default because advantage is played then it hasn't stopped a "promising attack".

The penalty decision is absolutely atrocious, he's almost caught the thing. You won't see a clearer handball than that.

The lack of stoppage time again, beyond comprehension.

I agree, we've been poor. They've done a bit of a number on us tactically & we're just not getting Wright involved at all. Simms has to come on with Wright moving wider imo.

 

[covmark]

Ref gets in the way of our attack. Picks the ball up and gives it to the pompey goalie. You couldn't make it up.

 

[larry_david]

We were clearly in possession

Doesn't matter. It's the rule

 

[Marty]

EMC out, Simms in, move Wright to the left.

 

[SIR ERNIE]

We're just not moving the ball quickly enough. Far too slow and predictable.

 

[shmmeee]

Kitchings passing has been atrocious.

 

[Evo1883]

Us tonight when we are offered the chance to go forward

 

[Briles]

Doesn't matter. It's the rule

Can you link the rule?

 

[larry_david]

Can you link the rule?

No but the commentator on my dodgy stream said it

 

[Nick]

That was our throw. Right in front of me

 

[Nick]

Doesn't matter. It's the rule

So if we play a pass from the box out, the ref gets in the way. It goes to their keeper?

 

[Briles]

No but the commentator on my dodgy stream said it

That makes sense tbf

 

[pusbccfc]

Fucking cheating bellend.

 

[Evo1883]

Refs are appalling at this level

 

[DT-R]

They're dredging the bottom of the barrel with refs for us atm.

Jesus. Every decision. It's ludicrous.

 

[ms639]

Portsmouth will never have an easier hour of football, no progressive movement, everything sideways and backwards. If ever a performance could be described as pedestrian it’s this one

Where the fuck do they find these useless officials??

 

[Ccfcisparks]

EMC awful touch after a great ball

 

[Northants Sky Blue]

Just saying, Its not the ref's fault we're playing like cunts...
