Portland Bill

Yes, it was him.

Truro ( as you probably know) have been sharing Plymouth Parkway’s ground. Plymouth pitch is in an awful state, 2-3 areas are only fit for mud wrestling in quick sand!. Unless they get 2/3 weeks without rain, they won’t be playing on that pitch for a while. As for Truro, I was told on Saturday, that the FA have told them they must show proof by the end of March, that their new ground will be ready for next season, otherwise they will be demoted two divisions.

Bridgwater had their keeper sent off last night, they lost 1-4 at home to Barnstaple in the league cup. So good timing by them to sign a new keeper!.

He always looks scared stiff to me. Shows very little quality, also plays with his head down more than up. Personally I don’t think he’s good enough for this league.

Go and have a lie down, you sound really angry.

He took his shirt off.

Referees ‘manage’ those situations, you will find a referee will shout to the keeper “play it” when he deems the keeper should. Everyone involved in the game seems to have accepted this as the norm now.

It’s the FA cup, so I would think they will have to give a higher allocation than league games.

Referees are not allowed to use common sense, they HAVE to adhere to the laws of the game, that’s it. If a player does the same next week and doesn’t get booked, I’ve no doubt you will be complaining about inconsistency.

Don’t blame the referee, blame the law makers. If the Referee doesn’t follow the laws of the game, he will get marked down by the assessor. You could clearly see he didn’t want to book him, but had too. The player took his shirt off, he would have 100% known he would get booked.

Think I’m right in saying, they have more players playing on the African Nations cup than any other Prem team. I imagine some of them will be back for the replay.

The Forest free kick in injury time, was given when Taylor Gardener grabbed and pulled back a Forest player by the neck, it was off the ball, and a stupid thing to do.

He made it easy to ref, give him credit.

Played some really nice football, dominated large parts of the game. But we are very predictable in the final third, would love to see us pop some one two’s centrally on the edge of the box, but we 100% go wide and look to cross. Opposition teams know this, and defend accordingly.

Weren’t Leicester one of the clubs that cheated ffp in the Championship?

Bridgwater’s game was called of 30 minutes before kick off today. Not sure if he could get ‘re directed’ to Bristol in time!!.

We used to ‘play up’ big time in the 80’s at Aldershot, pitch invasions, crowd trouble etc. I imagine some of their fan base can remember.

I live in Bridgwater, I’m thinking of buying a place in Chernobyl though!.

Taunton Town have been issued with a winding up order. Look at this post on Facebook https://www.somersetcountygazette.co.uk/sport/24058769.winding-up-petition-issued-taunton-town-fc/?fbclid=IwAR0vhh-jVkbXX11pWx_pa2JGL5NdAVxFodP21jlh6IoNzR3H2yIHkXctl-Y_aem_AY8Pu0NOU_nlvxvMndXwcCm24lg8LJbyrdoP8uWycm3G2JbjEwafjMkBiuXJQr5Ma80

Then their game tonight gets postponed because of a frozen pitch!!

Eastleigh are a national league side with a decent ground. They will play at home if the tie against that horrible club happens!.

Preston average about 17k, not sure where you get the over 20k regular crowds from.

Conway tried to do what any centre forward would do, but got his timing 100% wrong. No nastiness involved, but a nailed on yellow.

I’m presuming the Lino usually works with var, so kept his flag down until after the shot. Conway was about 8 yards offside!.

The major difference for me in the game. The second half we forced their keeper to kick. Thats it for me, you can’t allow Prem teams to dictate the game. First half they were so comfertable, second half the opposite.
