phew

Haha, did you Holloway right after the final whistle shouting "Wanker" to the referee very clearly - would love to see press conference now!

Their goalscorer whatever his name is was quality but so was Weale. Great win.

 

[Graz]

Good stuff, back into the playoff places (bar a late winner for Sheff Utd), and still with 2 games in hand over most of the teams below us

Lucky to get away with that in the end!! Dont care though. Get in!!

 

[SJN-Fox]

Lucky to get away with the penalty. Definite push.

Blimey, squeeky bums all round at the end.....

Cracking win though, we attacked with pace and in numbers on the break and it worked nicely with two fine goals on the counter attack. Nice to do the double over Ollie too.

2 winable home games up next. Great chance to get firmly back in the play off mix

That commentator was bias he just summed it up on BBC as a "smash and grab" :icon_eek:and said that Blackpool were the better team:icon_eek:, Did he not see all the chances we had

It was about level on chances, we were just less wasteful than them and Weale was in top nick for 89 minutes. If they had scored the second goal of the game instead of us I don't think we could have had any complaints.

But they didn't and we won! Woop woop!

Not so sure he only put his hand on him and he went down like a pack of cards there was a similar situation in a game last week and the ref did the same thing

 

[Jeff]

he only put his hand on him

It's football, not rugby.

 

[MHS]

Sounded like a very good and professional performance. Featured match on The Football League Show tonight too.

 

[Motown Fox]

True but you see players holding eachother and putting hands on eachother all the time. He didn't hold him back and that's why the ref booked Adam for simulation.
But thought Dany had cocked it up to start with. I was wishing Bruce had come on just before that move happened as he had been waiting to come on but the ball didn't go out of play.

True but you see players holding eachother and putting hands on eachother all the time.

When you're running alongside someone like that why put your hand on their shoulder?
The only reason to do it is if you're trying to foul them.

 

[olip6]

great to see Aman Verma back in the mix.
i've missed him

 

[Doggie_muz]

Thought we were excellent going forward, absolute shambles going backwards. Midfield was nowhere defensively. But a great 3 points, a gritty performance and a cracking day by the seaside. Well done boys.

 

[Hazzman]

You'll do - excellent win regardless of the circumstance. February's fixtures are kind, we have two games in hand and we're 6th...I hope we take this opportunity to push on.

What was so great about Dyers goal ? i missed it but i did hear that commentator everyone loves saying it was an "ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC etc etc" goal.
