Im really starting to dislike these moaning poor losers. They are starting to sound like sunderland. Grow up and get over it

I'm stilll extremely miffed
about the unjust way we were knocked out of the playoffs.
I've been following Notts for nearly 60 years and I'm still seething even though it's a week since the greatest travesty I've ever witnessed watching the Mighty Pies.
I know this post risks bringing the founder members of The Coventry Windup & Goading Society Special Needs Section back on here but I rather suspect they have now turned their attention to the Exeter board.
Why am I still feeling so aggrieved I wonder?
Well forgetting for a moment the penalty that never was at The Ricoh, you know the stadium where CCFC squat. Nothing will ever convince me that had Jonathon Fortes "equaliser" been allowed to stand that in the words of John Coleman "there would only be one winner"
As a regular at Meadow Lane during the season just ended I have seen Notts simply overwhelm opponents when they've tasted blood. Who can forget the 3-3 draw with Cambridge and the 4-2 FA Cup victory over L1 Bristol Rovers? Their defences just imploded when Notts woke up and there's no doubt Cov were going exactly the same way. It was almost as if they were stunned into capitulation because they couldn't believe they were playing the same team that they had dominated so easily in the first half.
A major part of feeling so gutted relates to the Sky TV coverage which showed absolutely that Forte was onside. It was not marginal, it was clear and the lino should hang his head in shame. Coventry's third goal which from the TV footage was offside twice was much harder to call especially as the excuse for a linesman was a yard behind the play. He was simply unfit literally for purpose.
IMHO both linos should stick to their day jobs for their own safety because if they keep on performing like that some inebriated fan is going to take a swing at either or both of them one day.
I should also say that Drysdale was nowhere near as bad as both sets of supporters feared.
I'm old enough (68) to realise that moaning won't change the fact that Coventry are at Wembley rather than Notts but my shrinks says that expressing your feelings is the first step to healing a troubled mind.
Like many Notts supporters I'm really really hoping that justice will be done at Wembley on Monday and that Exeter will beat Coventry fair and square with no assistance from the officials. It's tempting to say I hope Coventry are victims of bad officiating but that would give them an excuse to say they were cheated. I just want Exeter to simply outplay them which they are more than capable of doing. Coventry have had much much more than their share of luck in these playoffs.
Who believes the Coventry fans posting on here when they say they will take a defeat at Wembley in their stride? I don't think they can be true passionate fans when they come out with that. Their board (https://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/forum...eneral-chat.7/) will make interesting reading if Exeter spoil their day out at Wembley.
Finally a response to those who say Notts weren't good enough to compete in L1. Do they really think King Kev is that thick that he hadn't recognised that his squad needed a makeover had they been promoted.
His retained list speaks volumes.
I think Notts will be promoted automatically with ease next season and my shrink says that being optimistic about the future is the next step in the healing process.

Plonker.

How about the other decisions, that went their way?

Anyway, he is irelevant. They blew it over a season, not a match

Embarrassing. They didn’t deserve to go through irrespective of any poor officiating. They were lucky to still have 11 men on the field on more than one occasion, plus the penalty that wasn’t awarded after our first, evened things up in that respect. Poor footballing side who would’ve been picked apart in League one. Seriously hope they struggle next term.

Well if they drew with Cambridge then that's the end of the discussion, clearly they should have gone up. Surprised the FL didn't cancel the play offs and just award them promotion.

I’ve been on there for a fortnight (as ‘Truthful’)- I started one thread which ended up with them making threats to “meet in the stand” for a fight to sort things out- they bite and they’re a proper weird bunch :)

I would go on now but it feels like tempting fate- if we manage to win tomorrow I might be popping by for a quick word

Yeah. How do you overwhelm someone 3-3?

How is it Covs fault if officials were garbage?
Exactly.

Get Sunderland's beef, the argument there is that we cheated. We didn't cheat against Notts County.

He'd have a point if Bayliss dived to win the penalty through simulation, but he didn't.

Notts County should have had two players sent off, McNulty was onside when give off and clean through on goal and we should have had a penalty for handball.

The arguments are ridiculously over the top.

People talk about the worst decision in history. It's a joke. Yep, it wasn't a pen, but you can clearly see why the ref awarded it. From one angle it does look like the player make have taken his legs.

It was soft and no pen, but hardly the worst decision in the history of football or of 50 years of watching etc. etc.

If we lose tomorrow I think we are going to have a number of snarly gloating County fans on here.

We didn't do anything wrong. Not our fault for poor officialdom.

Plus the fact there was only one team attempting to play football as opposed to launching huge punts upfield and screaming at the ref at every opportunity to try and win dodgy decisions.

Facts are:
They were outthought
They were outplayed
They were humiliated on their own pitch
They were handed a footballing lesson
Their manager embarrassed himself
Their fans were utterly outsung and shown up
Long ball teams lost, footballing teams won
The ref was crap
But take out the ‘bad decisions’ and we still win

Bottom line- they were outclassed on and off the pitch in every respect.

No amount of playing the victim or crying is gonna change that- let them cry away into their ovaltine while we take Wembley over and hopefully cheer us to promotion.

Like fucking John Coleman knows everything, if they were that on top the disallowed goal should have spurred them on. Is this the Notts County side who were at home? But couldn't muster a shot at goal until the 40th minute, fluked a goal from that first attack, but were void of luck?

If you think Notts will go up automatically next season then this isn't a big deal is it ?

I don’t think it helps trying to claim that referee decisions even themselves out. The officials got all but one decision wrong in our favour and without that we’d almost certainly be out.

The point is, like Sunderland in 77 you control the destiny over a season. Notts couldn’t go up automatically in the same way Sunderland couldn’t accumulate enough points to survive.

It ends up as a lottery and we won that stage of it.

Way it goes.

They're sitting on "if'"s and "but"s and ignoring all the other incidents in the two games. If Forte's attempt had stood, who can say what the next phase of the game may have been ? Yes, County were on top at that time but in this alternate universe where the goal counted, County may have scored again or Cov could have held out (as we have before such as the Stoke FA Cup game) and McNulty goes on to score a hattrick.

Reading some of the other D2 forums, we are certainly the scapegoats for the bad officiating. One poster on Lincolns forum wanted Exeter to win so they could "batter" us again next year. Only Mansfield's fans seem to think or would like to see us going up.

County, it's easier to blame someone else than to take responsibility for your own failings.... damn, I'm almost agreeing with Grendel. Someone call a medic !!!!! :D

They’ve convinced themselves that if Forte’s goal had stood they’d have definitely gone on to win, but that’s a pretty big leap. We didn’t lose a single match this season when we scored first.

Neil from the Niis had a really good analogy here.

Frank Lampard’s goal vs Germany in the 2010 World Cup would have made the score 2-2. If it was allowed it might have signalled a shift in momentum and England might have gone on to a famous victory. However many people believe that Germany were so superior to England on that day and in particular were causing the English defence so much trouble every time they ran at them t hat they were bound to reassert themselves again. The goal was disallowed and Germany went on to win 1-4.

The goal they scored was also a victim of poor refereeing! Grimmer was being assaulted by John stead so as to prevent him tackling the goal scorer but it was not seen and therefore stood. If it had been seen then we would have gone in 2 - 0 up and as John Coleman said we would have won it at a canter.
