Let's talk about the Peterborough United game

[Spilsby Red]

Like I said it was my view and I listen to others. Thank you for your respect for my post

[sedwardsdrfc]

Need to find a way to get Hurst, Molly, Ironside and Faal in the starting line up. We’re not great at defending so may as well embrace it and just go for it.

Looks like Mo's off from the free kick, not necessarily the flick on.

He's a good 18 inches offside when the free kick is taken. It's a bit embarrassing to have McCann going on about it being a bad mistake by the linesman.

So not actually embarrassing for Grant to be going on about it then?

It was a goal. We were denied by an incorrect decision. We were robbed of a result which we richly deserved.

Not sure why you needed to post that. I've already held my hand up and admitted I didn't understand the law. Sometimes we get things wrong.

You could have retracted your statement though.

[Bentley Bullet]

Very commendable BST, and likewise,  I like to think that I would hold my hands up if ever I was wr, wro, not right also.

[Chris Black come back]

Tom stood there like a pudding for their second goal.

[jmt23]

I don’t understand the rules either! Mo was offside when the ball was played in, and he/we gained an advantage from that position.

I don’t know how you can defend against this type of “goal”

Either way we played very well, and Posh struggled to contain us at times. They were better than us for 30 mins in the first half, then we took control of the game.

I agree that it is hard to defend that type of situation but it happens all the time.
The Palace second goal inthe fifth round when GM was last here came from a similar situation.

spot on.

Hurst is our x factor player and needs to play behind the front two.

McCann needs to have some faith in him.

He'd offer more than Biggins, Broadbent and Rowe who have all been tried there.

Agree but it looks like he's being eased back in rather than a lack of faith.

With games coming thick and fast, we're going to need them all.

[donnievic]

Mo wasn’t offside when the ball came in,he was in a offside position but because he doesn’t really challenge for for ball he isn’t classed as active(yes being so close by sum would argue)then when joe flicks on he is onside,that is why now you see assistants put their flags up later.irritates me sim times especially when you can see clearly there is only one man going for the ball and they wait till he touches it.you also only have to look where  the asistant is and keeper take the free kick from inside the six yard box and not on the penalty spot area where Faal was initially

It’s like accusing your neighbour of letting his dog s**t on your lawn only to realise later that it was actually cat s**t.

The decent thing to do would be to apologise to your neighbour for not inspecting the s**t more closely.

Likewise apologies to Grant for saying he was embarrassing in insisting the goal was good when you had wrongly identified it as dog s**t.

Understand?

Another aspect I'd not considered, if you look at Ironsides reaction, he berates Faal presumably because if Mo doesn't touch it, it's going in anyway. Goalkeeper was well beaten.

[drfchound]

I wondered afterwards whether Ironsides header might have gone in but from the Twitter clip it seems to me that it would not have done.
Either way, Faal was onside when Ironside heads the ball so the goal should have counted.

[donnievic]

Anyone remember the charltongoal at keepmoat in playoffs or was it palace in cup was stood a good distance in aoffside position but when played from his teammate he was then onside

Been mentioned earlier. I think it was Palace. Similar but once again it's gone against us.

don't think it works out that we would have got the same draw,  arent numbers allocated alphabetically?

For those entering for the first time I've prem teams but not for us. Glad we didn't get through. Getting battered by Leeds at home and a home end of the cretins

correct, so we would not have drawn Leeds.

[TheFunk]

Incorrect we would have got Leeds. The teams through from round 2 are given a number based on what match number they were in round 2.

Incorrect. We would have been playing Leeds.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Butterfly Effect suggests we would not have got Leeds.

[ncRover]

Hopefully Westbrooke’s thigh injury is just a niggle rather than a strain. We have struggled without him this season.

Harrogate, Newport, MK first half, Barrow (after McCann changes), Colchester (until him and Moly came on) to name some examples.

Close matches his ability on the ball but doesn’t have his energy. The others are then a big drop off in terms of looking after the ball.

I posted my comment because I feel it is notable how some contributors (like you) seem ready to jump in and make critical and negative comments before taking time to consider things.

Whereas other contributors (like me) will, in this instance for example, listen to the views of our manager and respect them, giving him the benefit of any doubt because I believe he is an honest and reasonable guy.

So I felt the need to point out that your opinion that Grant was embarrassing was incorrect and unfair.

Does that explain?

[BillyStubbsTears]

Pancho

I'd already held up my hand and said I got that call wrong. That's why I don't understand your need to wade in and tell me I was wrong.

[drfchound]

BST, as I and others have said, you could have withdrawn your comment.
You have demanded that from others when you think you have been maligned.

[normal rules]

I’ve been to hundreds of football matches, home and away.
But something happened at Peterborough that was, to me, very special.
About halfway through the second half, with the freezing fog descending and the London Rd  home crowd somewhat reminiscent of a library, the rovers faithful piped up with a rendition of the. “watching super donny, putting on a show” song.
It was a really special moment. It felt like every one of the 1011 were in full voice, in unison. Very loud and very proud.
It must have sounded pretty good to the home crowd.
Hairs on back of neck neck stuff.
It’s moments like that that remind me of why we follow our team. Freezing cold. Under dogs, getting beat away from home. But it doesn’t matter. We stand together. As one. Win lose or draw.

[drfchound]

It was good wasn’t it NR.

[Chris Black come back]

Was very loud through much of game. The stand helped. Low roof.
