Smokegate II - The Black and Amber match

[BeesKnees]

Just seen the full player highlights, not even close to handball. The only people appealing were the fans behind the goal.

His hand was above his head and he practically caught it. How is that not handball?!?

Have to disagree with Laker, something that I don't look forward to , but to me that's not a pen. The Barnet player tried to head it but the ball accidentally hit his hand, so would've been harsh.

Take your point but why was his hand up there in the first place? It's not a natural position and therefore it's a penalty.

Yes it's not a natural position, but I feel his real intention was to head the ball, and though we've seen them given before, it would have been very harsh on the player if the ref gave it imo. When I'm watching back replays of pen incidents , first thing I notice is if any players raise their hands, and I don't think even one of ours did. Another thing is that I try to remain neutral, and I would feel hard done by if that was given against us.

Corr might not have put away the chances created, but with Corr in the team, he's the catalyst to starting moves which he usually finishes off.

We got a point off you With players out. You should be taking advantage of it but both teams looked equal. With our best team we would have looked the better team. Clearly too reliant on corr for goals but someone has to give him the service as we do. Just think your judging us as if we don't have a chance when we've seen we do.

You're beginning to sound desperate. Maybe if Kevin Lisbie wasn't missing we would've put away our chances. We will never know

We probably will never know at all about his ability to convert chances for us.
Anyway, no teams go through an entire season without some of their starting XI missing matches through injury.

Meh I'll agree to disagree, I couldn't argue if that was given against us.

Either way we were shit and deserve to win. Draw was the most we were worth.
