Never handball, ball comes in a pace, deflects about 2 yards in front of him, arm down his side and doesn't move towards the ball.

How the hell does anyone think that’s a handball?

And if it doesn't hit him, it goes straight to Brownhill who scores

It's handball, no question

Depends on if you think the handball was deliberate. If it just hit him at speed and he could do nothing about it then it's not a penalty

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Fri Jan 20, 2023 9:14 pm

Not handball, arm practically nailed to his side.

Benson will change the game. 3-1 to us.

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Fri Jan 20, 2023 9:15 pm

We have to up the tempo.

Not handball for me. Too quick for him to do anything about it

Agreed. Never a penalty unless you’re a superfan with massive claret tinted specs.

Those aren't the rules though. Deliberate, intent... has nothing to do with it.

Need someone to play on the half turn in the spaces. Twine on for me.

I really hope you are right but I sadly think we won't get anything tonight. Just my gut feeling.

It was my opinion at the time. Since seen it again and it would have been harsh. I remember those going against us previously

Agreed
But the player in questions arm being down by his side in a natural position is.

No penalty.

Can't believe they've sung chin chimney, how 70's. What next, you're going home in a red cross ambulance!

Pickles · Post by **Pickles** » Fri Jan 20, 2023 9:19 pm

If we get an equaliser soon, we'll win this.

Rick_Muller · Post by **Rick_Muller** » Fri Jan 20, 2023 9:19 pm

Ref is an absolute tw@ though, that’s no lie

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Fri Jan 20, 2023 9:19 pm

It's irrelevant as this idiot won't give us a pen unless he absolutely has to.

We need to up the tempo to get an equaliser. Pull their defence around. Too easy for them playing this slow.

When did we sign a 70’s porn star… oh… that’s Roberts

Well, Hull are trying but they are crap up front and have been lucky at the back. Hopefully they can find a goal or two from somewhere.

Close

How many corners do we not beat the 1st man on???

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Fri Jan 20, 2023 9:22 pm

Him and Jrod coming on.

Croydon Claret · Post by **Croydon Claret** » Fri Jan 20, 2023 9:23 pm

Failure to beat the 1st man on a set piece should be a weeks fine.

Shows how far this team have come as, even 1-0 down, I think we are better than them. At least whilst they try to hang on to 1-0. I think they might even try to hang on for a point if we score.

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Fri Jan 20, 2023 9:25 pm

Super Ash did well

tarkys_ears · Post by **tarkys_ears** » Fri Jan 20, 2023 9:26 pm

These lot are looking ropey now.

We need to score now

Rick_Muller · Post by **Rick_Muller** » Fri Jan 20, 2023 9:26 pm

Surprised Ash went off, MOM for me so far. But he was tiring a little so I understand it

CnBtruntru · Post by **CnBtruntru** » Fri Jan 20, 2023 9:26 pm

I think we will struggle to win any balls from a corner , we are mostly short arses

box_of_frogs · Post by **box_of_frogs** » Fri Jan 20, 2023 9:28 pm

Would love to see Twine but I can’t but feel VK doesn’t rate him

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Fri Jan 20, 2023 9:28 pm

11th corner

Croydon Claret · Post by **Croydon Claret** » Fri Jan 20, 2023 9:28 pm

Pleases stop with the high crosses. They are winning everything in the air, all over the field.

He does, and so do the players. I think it was Cork that said he could do unbelievable stuff with the ball. I think he found it very hard to go up a level so they are being overly cautious with him.

Hopefully so, but then I just don’t see how he’s not played a minute since returning from injury. If you’re on the bench, you’re fit to play. And he’s been there for roughly 15 matches!

Let's have a look at Twine for 15 mins.

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Fri Jan 20, 2023 9:34 pm

Do these players look up. Player free on the right screaming for the ball and we go short.
