Plymouth Match Thread

[PONTUS KAAMARK]

Stearman tried to head it back to Hendo but got very little on it and then Pericard nicked in.

Oh yeh and then Nissa dived in and slid it off the line. They would have been disapointed not to score.

Who was the little girl Williams took round the pitch at the end? She came from the Kop end

shortest match thread ever?

Typical end of season affair, nobody busting a gut really, but we had a noticable lead in terms of quality i felt. i am very excited about next season.

Not a very memorable game. Everyone looked tired & concentration slipped a lot, but not bad for end of season. Looked a bit lightweight in midfield against another bunch of heavies. Too many sloppy passes - especially back-passes. Thought Maybury did quite well at left back.

That Pericarde looked a bigger dungheap than he was at Pompey. Thought Nallis had a resonably good game for them, but they looked like a bunch of 0-0 specialists

The Kop seemed louder than for a long time, even if When youre smiling did tail off into anarchy.

Just got back. The pubs in Leicester are creacking including one where there was "Smoke on the Water" playing and no Lazzer. :icon_bigg

WTF was Maybury doing at LB? Kelly out. :icon_roll Nissa was good as was McCarthy, Fryatt and Williams. I have to agree about Nalis as he would have been excellent in the City midfield today.

I thought Nalis had a nothing game

Then what do you expect from a Midfielder? Ronaldinho?

It was the same when he played for us, people would praise him but he just looked like a headless chicken to me and not a particulary good headless chicken at that.

One thing that disgusted me about this game, was the booing at half time coming from the West Stand, somewhere between the family stand and the bench.

OK, the first half wasn't the best, but this was ridiculous behaviour. Was there any booing from any other areas of the ground?

Apart from when the wave broke down the only booing I heard (and took part in) was after Fryatt had spurned a gold-plated chancein the first half in order to run the ball into touch because a plymouth player was on the ground. After he got up as if touched by the hand of Rev Melton they took the throw in and hoofed the ball up to the far corner instead of putting it back out for a Leicester throw.

The main sound I could hear at half time was gentle snoring from large sections of the crowd.

That was sportsmanship gone too far. If you have a clear chance on goal and an opposition player is laying down on the floor and is not fit enough to get up and tackle you, there is no way he can continue the game after you have scored.

To put the ball into touch at that moment wasn't sportsmanship it was unprofessional conduct. He is a CF FFS he needs goals, CF's should thrive on statistics

You can't blame Plymouth for clearing the ball once they got it back, they should never have been given the opportunity. I hope if we were in the same postition we wouldn't give the ball back to a player about to score

 

[OldGit]

The whole thing is. Look at all the hoo-ha about Spurs & Arsenal yesterday. It's the ref's job to stop play if someone appears seriously hurt or is obstructing the game. And to re-start it with a contested dropped ball.

Fair enough to kick for touch if the ref hasn't noticed what looks like a serious injury away from the area of active play, but this whole thing is rapidly becoming a farce. The reason for the booing was not so much the hoof for the corner flag, but that it looked like a defender who had been beaten decided to feign terminal illness to engineer what happened

They were talking about it on MoTD last night, in reference to the Spurs goal, Gavin peacock said it's an unwritten rule between professionals they put the ball out if they see a man down. Sod that Matty!!

Yes, I heard that too. My point is there is a written rule that avoids all this. In that case the ref went to check the players on the floor and waved the game on.

Professional - Somebody who is in employed pay, to do the job that the employer asks.

Unprofessional - Somebody who is in employed pay, to do the job that the employer asks, but ignores the employer because a member of staff from an opposition company has called in sick and the employee would rather help them out instead

I couldnt believe the amount of time Plymouth tried to waste yesterday. Even in the first half at nil nil they were taking an age to do anything.

Then they went one down and you had Chadwick chucking the ball away for our free kick with five minutes to play!!

It really was dull to see and it stopped the game getting any momentum.

they timewasted after 2 minutes, good way to ruin a potentially decent game

 

[Durham Fox]

What I didnt understand yesterday was after about 15 minutes they went around and collected all the balls from the ball boys. They usually only do that with 10-15 minutes left if we are winning to slow things down. Unless it was a request form the 4th official/referee ???

 

[Melton Fox]

They did this about 3 or 4 games ago, I think it was Reading?. I posted about a ball boy having an argument with a member of the Reading bench trying to nick the ball off him
