I'd Like To Thank The Ref

For his part in us winning today. We were awful, slow and not doing enough with the ball and the crowd was dead.

He puts us down to ten men and we looked like a completely different team and the awful decisions he made got the entire crowd pumped rather than a small section of the Ponty.

 

Thank the linesman down the left side as well in the first half because he was absolutely useless.

 

Was that the one with the flag stuck in his arse.

 

You won't be thanking him when Jon Russell is starting on Tuesday

 

We looked awful and slow? Didn't we have 9 shots on target excluding our 2 goals? First half, and later on in second, their keeper kept them in it. Played some good stuff in first half, they sat back in second so it was harder for us to break down, but we still managed it.

We are a league one side lets not forget mate. We definitely deserved the win. I do agree with you about him, he definitely riled the fans up and I do think it helped. The injustice felt I think spurred the players on too

 

Looked liked the Lino gave the free kick for our winner.
Officials were awful in general. Linesman in the front of the west stand couldn’t make a decision. Ref wasn’t *too* bad up until about the 80th minute (ignoring the ignorance of their time wasting) when after that he completely lost his head.

 

Hopefully it'll be Grant starting.

 

Can we get the ref poll up soonish, want to give him a zero before I mellow.

 

I thought he had a decent game up until the 85th minute and then his head went.

Some of the bookings were ridiculous and then the Luca debacle to top it off.

Must have realised he had a bet on for number of bookings and not booked anybody up until that point.

I bet his assessor has had to re-write his report

 

Russell's last away performance was excellent at Oxford.

 

Played well in first half - their keeper made some great saves. Never got going 2nd half until last 10 minutes - they were happy to settle at 1 0

 

We won who gives a 5hit? I don't. Today proved this division is gash with a capital C.

We'll have to play Russell in a wheelchair and bring back Schopp as Head Coach not to be in the top six.

 

Yep we have never won a game of football with Russell starting.

 

I detect an air of sarcasm. I concur and say Oxford away.

 

I'll go port Vale at home.

 

You've lost me with the capital C in this statement mate!!

 

Did he start at Oxford?

 

Spot on mate.

 

I got caught between words. I thought gash and the "c" word. I agree in this context what was I thinking?

I'm rambling again.

 

The second half up to just before stoppage time was terrible, some of the most boring football I've seen in a long time. Kicking it around the back with no end product, often losing the ball. A better team than Orient would have punished us. I'll take the win though but I'm not sure well get away with that again!
