Paul from Wisewood Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Must be 1984 last time we were top at this stage of a season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank_Owl2,0 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I might be misremembering but weren’t we top for ages in 1983/84 only to fvck it up at the end. Obviously only those of us a certain age will be able to recall that one. Otherwise there’s not many other instances of us being top and certainly nothing to say about being top at this stage. The added time is, I suppose a good way of deterring time wasting etc but needs to be combined with the officials not allowing it in the first place. I’d hardly put yesterday up there as a game with lots of intentional time wasting. there was some but not on the Wycombe or Fleetwood last week scale.

HoylandOwl Posted February 5 Author Share Posted February 5 Plymouth manager Steven Schumacher points finger at Windass for Cooper injury. What’s he supposed to do? Not challenge for the ball? Shut up!!! Now, I’m not able to obviously know the precise moment Cooper was injured in that challenge for the ball, but it looks like he lands awkwardly. One other thing. Not seen any comments from Argyle fans about the Lepp. Says quite a lot doesn’t it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoylandOwl Posted February 5 Author Share Posted February 5 Keith Hackett has his say on the ‘goal’ that wasn’t. Even if it is mentioned by the PGMOL to the ref. We won’t hear anything of it. It’ll be kept in house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barring injuries and the FA Cup then that must be the plan for the rest of the season. Choke the opposition in their own half like we did in the first half. Keep them more than at arms length in the 2nd. Don't give these teams a chance to hurt you and to me we look more threatening when less is more striker wise, as our wing backs come more into it. I guess I have to eat a large slice of humble pie on Paterson. The joke of the ref though, first half did not notice him really, but 2nd I am sure he wanted 33k to do so on his own big day out. The 2nd goal was just bizarre, one of their players was injured so he gave instruction for the trainers to come on. May be a form of excuse for the delay. Clearly neither official will admit to watching the screen to wriggle out of how they made the decision. The other call for football is to limit injury assessment to 2 minutes. If that call is its a serious one, then treatment continues on the pitch of course but others should be moved to the touchline. 18 minutes of announced injury time (and more played) is getting beyond a joke. I had that discussion with the 2 mates 'live' both times when the sign was held up. They were saying 9 mins in 1st half was unjustified but I disagreed. Both Scarr & Cooper were down & having treatment / assessment for long periods. They obviously wouldn't have wanted to have lost the latter: he really is top quality. In addition, Palmer also had rec'd treatment that half, so 9 mins including the 2 substitutions was easily justified. However, when they also objected to the 10 mins added at the end of the game I joined in this time. Yes, players had rec'd treatment - Baz plus the lad down when Byers 'scored', just off the top - but I can't remember any really extended treatment like in the 1st half. How many substitutions, though, at 30 secs each. If the maximum was used by both, that's 8 so 4 mins. I wonder if the minute or so for our 'goal' was added on.

It really doesn't bear thinking about. As much as really, they only clipped that shot onto the roof of the net. They didn't do much more. But there's no doubt, the 'chalking off' of the goal, invigorated them as we were all over them like a rash before that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M42Owl Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 On the disallowed goal: I was on the North, towards the kop and, although Gregory jumped to avoid the ball hitting him, it passed between him and the keeper. In no way was Gregory impeding the keeper’s view, and it’s a hard push to say he prevented a dive. A clear goal for me. But my celebration was muted as I saw the linesman stood still. I thought that he was sure LG was beyond the last defender, but unsure whether he was interfering with play. So I think he did what he should do, and got the ref to decide. Can’t say I noticed either looking at the replay on the screen. Something else happened in the match that I don’t think hasn’t happened for some time. We scored from a throw-in. Usually, our throw-ins result in rapid loss of possession, but wow, we scored from one. When was the last time? Has there been any word on why Famewo didn’t play? He’s going to be needed until James comes back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank_Owl2,0 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 (edited) Am I imagining this, but wasn’t there a ruling that the attacking team should get the benefit of the doubt when it’s marginal/ unclear, with the idea it will mean there might be more goals? I mean since the initiation of VAR that seems to have taken a knock. Anyway, if there was ever a case, yesterday was one. The other thing for me is the angle of the picture from cameras that provide the big screen highlights really don’t help our case because you can’t judge the perspective, ie whether Gregory is in the eyeline of their keeper, certainly compared to the video of the lad on the kop where it’s clearer that he isn’t really. The fact Gregory is in an offside position is irrelevant as has been shown time again with the new offside interpretations. Transparency of the referee’s reviews of these kinds of decisions would at least show how things are reviewed and what can be learnt.

He’s going to be needed until James comes back. DM said Famewo was rested bc he’s trained and played to the max since his return and was sore, so they were giving him a chance to recover. I don’t know what it was but I sensed something when he was asked about Famewo on Friday. I was still surprised he wasn’t playing and Paterson was also in the RWB slot, but DM proved right on both.
