Notts 1-4 Coventry+Officials - Play Off Semi-Final 2nd Leg

[CCFC_Charlie]

We’ve been fucking excellent but very frustrating to concede in such a poor manner. Worry that Notts County will come out all guns blazing now and if they equalise early then anything could happen.

 

[Indian Dan]

Nah

 

[T.A]

County robbed of an equaliser. They've done very well to get back into this game. Good game this now.

 

[hellogregory]

Nolan’s post match interview is going to be explosive

 

[T.A]

Haha of course Coventry score with an offside goal. Bad defending though.

 

[william death]

Fuck me.

Absolutely robbed.

 

[jacobncfc]

Has there been a bigger robbery than this tie in play off history? I doubt it.

 

[gijsbert_bos]

Can't believe the Sky commentators saying McNulty and Biamou were onside for their third goal! Both offside. Coventry have been the better team but that's some poor officiating. Even if it is quite funny.

 

[AdamStag]

this is quality viewing - the lino and the ref have been excellent.

After last nights amusing instalment, these playoffs have been quite fun.

 

[william death]

Two absolutely shockers in the two legs. You couldn't make those up.

 

[gijsbert_bos]

I think Nolan is going to explode with rage. Looking forward to his post match interview. Lucky it's post watershed.

 

[jacobncfc]

I’m not even angry, just stunned. We can hold our heads high, this tie can barely be considered legitimate tbh.

 

[T.A]

Can't believe the Sky commentators saying McNulty and Biamou were onside for their third goal! Both offside. Coventry have been the better team but that's some poor officiating. Even if it is quite funny.

Eh he didn't he clearly said it was offside in the replay.

 

[gijsbert_bos]

And to be clear Forte was miles onside. That lino should be sacked tomorrow.

 

[gijsbert_bos]

Eh he didn't he clearly said it was offside in the replay.

Pretty sure he said it was close but he was onside. stream though so may have misheard.

 

[Guernica]

Rozzers are getting twitchy, going to be an interesting pitch invasion

 

[T.A]

Pretty sure he said it was close but he was onside. stream though so may have misheard.

Big Don Goodman said it was offside. Dunno about the other one.

 

[hellogregory]

Coventry have been the better team tonight.

But fuck me those 2 decisions in that 5 minute spell have absolutely robbed Notts County of making a contest of this.

 

[Trapdoor]

Despite the equaliser being disallowed, Coventry have played the better football of the two teams. Sorry notts, maybe we will be seeing you lot again next year anyway.

 

[gijsbert_bos]

Notts fans right now:

Really lol

 

[Bartonyellow]

Going to be an interesting final and I would not want to call it either way.
Should be a good crowd too.
Hard luck on county - back them to go up automatic next season.

 

[kieran_vale]

Got to hand it to Cov this has been really impressive.

Bad luck to the Notts fans but a very good season nonetheless.

 

[Kenneth E End]

Coventry have been the better team tonight.

But fuck me those 2 decisions in that 5 minute spell have absolutely robbed Notts County of making a contest of this.

You would’ve thought in these games the calibre of officials would’ve been far higher.

 

[Buxton Vale]

Congratulations to Coventry. It should be a decent final.

 

[CCFC_Charlie]

In terms of football played I think we deserved to win. We were exceptional in the first half. However, you can’t deny that we have been very fortunate with refereeing decisions and the emotions of Notts County fans is understandable. Now for Wembley and hopefully an immediate return to League One.

 

[markwwfc1992]

Feel for County, absolutely robbed due to shite officiating yet again. Such high stakes in football nowadays yet complete amatures have cost them the game.

Dont worry I'm sure the FA will protect them and fine Nolan for daring to speak the truth. If there is any justice Cov will lose the final to a Maradona esc handball.

 

[Moomin]

Congratulations Coventry, it should be a really good final. Can’t wait.

Didn’t see the game tonight but it sounds like there was some controversy. Tbf though, to score 4 away from home is decent from Cov.

 

[Laker]

The only thing I can maybe think is that Forte was given offside when the ball was initially hooked back into the box? I’m looking for reasons, it’s hard to defend the officiating to be honest. There’s no question the third goal was offside twice and the penalty at the end of the first leg wasn’t farcical.

But, well done Coventry. I didn’t watch this one live but I understand they should have been out of sight at all time.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

I don’t know why Nolan has been moaning about the officiating at L2 level all season, doesn’t know what he’s on about.

Summed up perfectly by others, Cov played some lovely stuff, Robins got the tactics bang on, we should of at least been two down at HT as we just froze and we’re absolutely awful. Only Duffy and Toots could claim to have done ok/well first half. The rest poor

Poor team selection from the manager, O’connor Made the difference he’s class. Second half we started great, and Cov went into a shell. Real chalk and cheese stuff.

They are obviously talented especially at this level but don’t seem Mentally strong.

Awful officiating as we all saw. If Fortes goal stands, it’s ours for the taking
Great finishing from the opposition , and overall probably deserved it. Just

Great crowd, atmosphere throughout especially 45-65 min period naturally and an entertaining n stressful game

congrats to the Sky Blues, should be an entertaining final cant call it

I think play off loses is kinda what we deserve imo may sound harsh but true. Very good season

Unlucky to all the sides who didn’t make it to the play offs
