Very poor from Sykes

Come on sykes that was poor.

 

Yep his energy is great but his crossing often cack.

[bexhill reds]

Not a head injury, play should not be stopped…

No he didn’t. He made the wrong call as the video shows.

Scott fouled them first. Then was fouled. Therefore free kick to Swansea, and a card to the Swans player who fouled Scott after.

[sh1t_ref_again]

So now ref stops us attacking for a none head injury,

In which case he then plays advantage, he didn’t put his arms out. He hasn’t stuck to the rule book.

You're not going to change your mind on this but the yellow incident was about a second after Scott's foul. There was so little time between them that not waving for an advantage is irrelevant.

This is the Joe Williams I like.

That’s not the rules is it. proved my point. 1 you must sign for advantage 2 you do not stop play for a yellow card. Poor refereeing. 

[Gillies Downs Leeds]

Just how good as Joe Williams been since coming on. Much more like the player we thought we were buying.

[One Team]

So frustrating we can't get in goal scoring positions. 

[Major Isewater]

Swansea keeper looks dodgy.

He is responsible for picking the team and motivating and coaching those players.

Why do you keep mentioning motivation . Do you need someone to  motivate you to go to work . Biggest load of bollocks I’ve heard

We have a Board ?

Not necessarily Gould, J.Lansdown & co. , but someone who can have even a little influence on the club's decisions.

Surely some posts on OTIB can't be enough.

I kind of feel sorry for him, he was a midfielder when he joined us, not known for his crossing and he's basically been put as a right wing back. He doesn't do bad out there considering but he crosses like a central midfielder. Makes me wonder why he doesn't get a chance in the middle because he works hard and his passing is decent when it's not a cross.

Yep, if refs played to the rules, there would be less of this, the same with head injuries, if you go down holding your head you are immediately off the pitch for a 60 second assessment, that stops all that bollocks too

Saying motivating a team isn't a part of football management would certainly be a new take.

Pring imping

Weimann injured

He stopped play for the foul, then booked the player. You’re nitpicking here, just because he didn’t wave advantage doesn’t mean he didn’t get the decision right in the end. 

[Dan Robin]

Energy levels are OK but more accuracy in attack, please. 

[Lanterne Rouge]

Gary Owers showing his age there - Ashley Grimes is playing for Swansea!

There's a march next week if you're interested!

You haven’t seen the video have you, he stopped the play for the Swansea player taking Scott down, not for the foul….clear as day.

[old_eastender]

AW off injured, no sub ready to come on?

[cityexile]

Full time.

Much better second half. Most likely should have ended up winning it. Not thrilled about a replay but it is what it is.

[petehinton]

Sums us up. Should’ve won, but didn’t. Crap result. A crappy replay away to them is completely the opposite of what we need right now

[Norn Iron]

Wednesday week will be the replay date. Great chance of it being on S4C at least=Free to air= record= watch in playback mode= sync to live commentary from Radio Brizz on BBC Sounds!
