westred1 Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 When your luck isn’t in… Positive first half despite the scoreline. Rusty shooting but look threatening. Referee having a shocker. Definite red card. Dubious offsides and soft foul for the third disallowed. Gardner-Hickman is a bit loose in possession… doesn’t look like a RB. Quote Link to comment

BritAbroad Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 I think we've played well, and the ref is definitely favouring Swansea. Quote Link to comment
QuedgeRed Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 ******* ref’s a homer! Bell’s cross for Sykes’ disallowed goal immediately came off a Swansea player! Linesman’s not much better. Quote Link to comment

megansdad Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 good performance but for a few lapses at the back. Should be ahead. Ref awful. Quote Link to comment

ralphindevon Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 Listening to radio Wales pre match they were bemoaning the fact they sold Piroe for £10m and only spent £6m of it. You have to feel for them 8 Quote Link to comment
Midlands Robin Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 Twice as many shots 10 vs 5 and twice as many on target 2 vs 1 and yet we are a goal down. Ever get the feeling we've broken a few mirrors and while walking under a few ladders. If it wasn't for bad luck we'd have no luck at all. Thank **** it's only half time COYR 1 Quote Link to comment

1960maaan Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 We have not got anything from the Ref this half . That said , it looked a push by Knight for the 3rd disallowed goal, the 2 offsides I don't know, Bell's specially looked tight. But you have to question the back pass non decision and the Yellow when Wells had a clear run at goal . Even that last "drop ball" he pointed like it was a Swansea kick, then seemed to get a message and does a drop . We will have to get some good luck for a change, and some improved shooting . 1 Quote Link to comment
Ivorguy Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 I stand by my criticism of fans blaming the Ref etc. So 1950s don’t you feel ? Other more balanced views on Otib do not support the view Ref was wrong on our discounted goals. For goodness sake smell the coffee. We don’t have a striker in the fit squad, unless Yeboah turns out to be a teenage prodigy. I bet Nige would have brought one in if the owner was showing the slightest interest in the club. That is where people’s frustration truly lies not with a Ref. 3 Quote Link to comment

Spike Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 So I've been watching the game and taking notes of everything that's happened in the game, I think it's fair to say without looking at the notes we've been by far the better team and how we've put the ball in the net three times and still don't have a goal is insane. The one thing I will say, the chance for Wells when he was clean through and taken down was a clear red. How we lost Dickie to a yellow where he never even committed a foul and have now watched out striker go clean through, get hacked down and it's only a yellow baffles me. I could write the positives but we only have a 15 minute break so the few negatives I've jotted down... Pring has been caught 3-4 times in bad situations, TGH offers so much on the right hand side and has a great corner on him but he has also made a few sloppy passes and got too high up and caught out a few times, other than that we've been solid other than the goal. The goal was so frustrating as Naismith was so much deeper than the defensive line which gave the passing option but their number 18 had too much time to play it. The negatives aside, 3 goals ruled out and one off the line as well as Wells being clean through and taken down we really should be leading this game easily, not trailing, let's hope the second half favours us more. 2 Quote Link to comment
The Original OTIB Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 I believe that we will score, and will win the game. I may be wrong, but that was a great half of football and there's every reason to be positive. Put another way, play like that at home, as well as away, and we will be more than fine this season. You can't get anywhere if you only perform like this half of the time. 6 Quote Link to comment
Lrrr Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 Offsides correct, Knight's at the end very subjective (supposed higher physical standards this season) as was the red card decision. Its frustrating for them but they've got to come out and play the same way as we could easily have had 4 or 5 that half on a clinical day 1 Quote Link to comment
italian dave Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 5 minutes ago, Henry said: All 3 goals disallowed looked the right decision. Bell has to do more to get back onside. Sykes wouldn’t have got to the ball if he was onside so doesn’t really matter. Ironic though; they’re about the only three decisions he’s got right. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

Even if all 3 goals were correctly disallowed (& I think the Bell one was very tight) the non sending off summed him up. Other end of the pitch he wouldn’t get the red card out quick enough. Utter ***. 4 Quote Link to comment
Curr Avon Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 That's the best I've seen our midfield play this season. Keep it up and the goals will come. 4 Quote Link to comment

He's always been in the three worst refs in the last 4-5 years. He is incompetent. 8 1 Quote Link to comment
westonred Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 Playing well could easily be 3 or 4 -1 up Refs playing a blinder for them obvious red card ignored and giving them every decision I dont think NP will be sending the Ref a Xmas card Quote Link to comment
richyy66 Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 Playing really well just need a bit more luck and find our finishing boots second half. By far the better team. Quote Link to comment
Out of his pie crust Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 If we play like we did first half and keep that tempo going, no reason why we can’t win Quote Link to comment
