[Tea Towel]

Well, if that’s the best 2 teams in the league, no one else has got anything to worry about! We were shite, Ipswich were no better and the referee was worse than both.

 

[stevowanderer]

Brilliant game for a neutral. So end to end. Dirtiest game I’ve seen in ages. Lucky goal for us as it took a huge deflection but we had 3/4 quality chances we should have taken, whereas Trafford didn’t really have a save to make. Think we deserved it in the end.

 

[BRFC_Gas]

What a ridiculously open game. Cannot remember another game like it. Are there any defenders on the pitch? We are having a mare at the back, important that we have scored with every attack!

Story of our season so far, every opposition chance seems to go in. Today though is an absolute shambles defensively but we have a lot better players so come back from injury/suspension

 

[K-Win]

I said anything could happen second half and it did. We looked firmly in control until Rags headed into his own net under no pressure. Then a great goal from Argyle to take the lead. Plymouth looked in control after that, until our late, late equaliser just after Galloway's sending off for a second booking after a tussle with Morrison.

Great game and probably a fair result all in all. Argyle impressive in the second half.

 

[kieran_vale]

Very pleasing to get the win there. On the balance of play we were the better team but Shrewsbury I thought were strong up top and well organised without the ball for the most part. More than credible win for us that, tough one away next at Peterborough but can take some confidence from today and the last twenty at Barnsley.

 

[leedsvaliant]

Thought we were relatively poor today but jesus Shrewsbury were terrible. I think they had one shot, which they scored from. My take on the quality of the league ratified again.

 

[valefan16]

Great win, total control from minute 1 to 94 but after getting pegged back with their only chance we started to seem to be getting more frustrated as the game wore on.

Overhit corner recycled and Harrison headed home the winner.

Played some good stuff and look a total different animal with the likes of Massey and Wilson fit. Butterworth ran the show and Harrison is looking and excellent signing! 5 goals now.

 

[PlymouthCasual]

Banker? We have turned over Bolton, Barnsley, Peterborough, Derby and Oxford so far which I think may have gone under the radar a bit.

Pompey are definitely favourites for tomorrow but I would argue that a home win is certainly not a forgone conclusion.

Considering the recent history of results between the two clubs. 2-2 should be the value bet

3 years in a bastard row we have conceded in injury time to draw 2-2 at your gaff now

Fair result though, enjoyable game that. Think Pompey are probably the best side I have seen us play this season so far.

 

[YEO YEO YEO]

Pleased to see us win 2 on the bounce. After a positive performance on Tuesday night, was expecting a substandard one today. Thats our first Saturday win this season and up to 8th. Game next weekend has been called off so believe our next league game is at Bolton in two weeks!

 

[Chris FGR]

Got done at the death, absolute kick in the bollocks but tbf Morecambe were the better side and should have been in front well before that. Adams said they’d been targeting this for their first win of the season, and we showed exactly why he thought that. Limp as fuck.

Gotta laugh at Champions elect Exeter’s result, bet we won’t hear from Devon Lad for a while.

He hasn't been around for a while. I assumed he'd been banned.

I don't think so, he's not logged in since 3/9.

 

[Tom_ITFC]

Gutted.
Poor game from both in truth so I don’t feel we deserved the 3 points.

Even more gutting is their second goal looked offside.

Shocking from three Wednesday fans also, chucking objects at lino and our keeper.

Your 2nd was awful officiating, offside in his own half apparently

The whole game was poor officiating, can’t deny that. Couldn’t control the game.

You can’t be offside in your own half?!! Unless rules have changed?!

Didn’t understand the offside free kick we were given, which we could take in your half? Is that possible/right?

No you can’t be. That’s his point

 

[Bartonyellow]

Wow. We won a game of professional football.
In Dino we trust ( until next week when we lose again ).

 

[Si Robin]

Lost the game in the first 30 secs after we kicked it out for a throw from our own kick off.

The rest of the game we sounded shite.

1 step forward on Tuesday, 2 steps back today.

Cracking result that for Burton, not an easy place to go at all is Exeter.

He’s saying our second was poor officiating as our player was offside in own half, but you’ve just proved my point saying that you can’t be.

Apparently the ref was correct on my second point, regarding another the free kick, an offside is taken when the player becomes active, which was in your half on this case. He was offside when the ball was taken but took hold of the ball in your half. Learnt something new.

No I'm saying we conceded a free kick for Smith being offside, in his own half, which led to your 2nd

 

[Luke Imp]

Excellent win for us - not necessarily from a defensive point of view but you can't complain with scoring six on the road! Diamond outstanding, involved in four of the six.

A good week with six points and a good job really because with next week against MK off due to international call-ups, our October is Bolton, Charlton, Ipswich, Wednesday and Barnsley!

 

[kieran_vale]

Now gone 70 games in total since our last penalty was awarded as well. Apparently got a couple more games to go to beat the record held by Galway United. Hopefully we’re just saving our next one for a special occasion.

I can’t comment on whether he was offside or not as we were behind the goal, but we had a build up to the goal which is shown on the highlights, which doesn’t even show a free kick. Even if it was a wrongful offside, I don’t think it’s fair to link it to the goal.

The weird thing is, I can only recall a couple of times in those 70 games where we probably should have had one. We're not the sort of team who has players driving into the penalty area and in general we're an honest bunch. You would have thought we'll get one soon though!

Could of had 3 against Portsmouth and a couple on stone wallers in the two games against Burton on Garrity but otherwise yeah not really many I recall.

 

[GeneralLee]

My word we aren’t very good (the last five minutes aside). MK are frankly dreadful too. What has happened to both sides since last season?

Referee lost the plot. Our 5-3-2 just isn’t working. Another loss. Pressure is massively on KR right now.

I thought mk were dreadful when we played them and yet they beat us 2-0! In fairness they just got lucky with 2 long range shots. How on earth they were up there last season I am mystified by.

What's happened to Oxford? I thought they would push on this season and be up there.

Scott Twine had a fantastic season which carried MK

Terrible weren't we (both). Obviously I want to win but that will just paper over the cracks for the time being. As far as us being dreadful, well, we sold Harrods players and replaced with free/cheap Aldi special buys.
