Never mind the ins and outs , and a Mate of mine was seething over the Wall set up for the Free KickHe said watch it (and I hadn't noticed) their Player stood in wall with Haks alongside them inexplicably when their player moved so did Haks leaving a huge gapCan't criticise anyone but it was a free shot and they took it . Suspect this will have been noticed and ironed out for future gamesCOYR ... I'll give you mates Email as he doesn't post on here. He has a point though
Because they will back the referee’s real time (no var no replays no photos) on pitch decision.If they argue the Gills player had an opportunity to nick the ball off our retreating defender, he would have had an open goal to aim for. I agree it should have been a yellow but I would be surprised if we do appeal. Too risky for an extended ban.I said before, Jones will do ok. Our defence has been great recently so it’s a team effort to keep the opposition out. TLT is the better keeper, but Jones will be fine.
From where we were behind the goal (almost directly in line) the wall placement looked awful and seemed to leave half the goal to go at. Could see it playing out as it did a mile off. Really unenviable situation for any goalkeeper to come on to, and it looked like he didn’t get / take any chance to set the wall up properly. Anyhow, great save from Jones at the end and we’re going to need him at his best next Monday. I still think the red card was harsh but totally get the argument that there’s little point appealing. It wasn’t a glaringly obvious error by the ref, hence why we’re still debating it on here. Need to move on now.

You can't cover the whole of the goal unless you use every outfield player in the wall. That sets the striker the option of a clear shot towards a half of the goal that the keeper should be covering, or a difficult curl over the wall to the other side of the goal.The problem was that Jones didn't get a form hand on the ball, after appearing to take half a step to the other side as if he was expecting the shot to be curled over the wall into the opposite corner. Doing that made him slower to get down to where the ball did go.

We’ve seen before that Jones does not have as much strength in his hands as we might hope - quite apart from his generally slow reactions.

if you stop the video anywhere in the first half that shows the goalposts we were attacking you can see how the groundsman conveniently cut the grass to effectively to create two parallell lines as i have shown by extrapolating with my tape we can see these lines in the second half (the penalty spot is also visible) from that we can make a decision on whether the ball was going wide -- but thinking about it our defender would have "caught" the ball to kick it away so did the hand ball prevent a goal scoring (own -goal) attempt - nobody has mentioned our young defender would have cleared it so look again noticing the lines caused by the groundsman
