Katalinic Posted 15 May, 2016 Posted 15 May, 2016 Listening to Solent on the way back from the match and they were interviewing one of the skate directors (or whatever). Going on and on about how they don't get the 50/50 decisions at home because the refs are overawed by the atmosphere. Then some stupid statement that he had counted 27 such decisions this season and they had only got 2. Utter utter garbage. The mythmaking happens at all levels. Whittingham then peddled the "referees are overawed at Fatpipes and all of L2 hope that the stay down due to the Skates away support" myth.
saint si Posted 15 May, 2016 Posted 15 May, 2016 Remind me. If things remain equal, does this go to extra time/pens/etc or is it on Away Goals? no away goals in playoffs... as it happens that cost us in 2007.
jawillwill Posted 15 May, 2016 Posted 15 May, 2016 no away goals in playoffs... as it happens that cost us in 2007. I thought our year was the last season where that was the case and that away goals do count now. But I may have just made that up.
Danbert Posted 15 May, 2016 Posted 15 May, 2016 God they really are awful. I can't see a single League-1-standard player on that pitch.
Waterside.saint Posted 15 May, 2016 Posted 15 May, 2016 Dire so far, here's hoping the Pilgrims will get their mojo back in the second half
andysstuff Posted 15 May, 2016 Posted 15 May, 2016 God, there's some awful, awful finishing from both teams.
TopGun Posted 15 May, 2016 Posted 15 May, 2016 Whittingham then peddled the "referees are overawed at Fatpipes and all of L2 hope that the stay down due to the Skates away support" myth. Odd how overawed refs normally favour the home sides in such intimidating arenas but Fratton Park bucks the trend!
Waterside.saint Posted 15 May, 2016 Posted 15 May, 2016 (edited) God, there's some awful, awful finishing from both teams. Well I can't imagine why, it's not as if the players are overawed by having to play in the cauldron that is Fortress Fatpipes Edited 15 May, 2016 by Waterside.saint
andysstuff Posted 15 May, 2016 Posted 15 May, 2016 Well I can't imagine why, it's not as the players are overawed by the cauldron that is Fortress Fatpipes It's almost like neither team are actually any good......
TwoPints Posted 15 May, 2016 Posted 15 May, 2016 Looks like a few of the skates have had too many breakfasts. Mind you to did them a favour then as they had a bit of a chubby one standing on the line when the ball hit him.
Waterside.saint Posted 15 May, 2016 Posted 15 May, 2016 What a chance for Plymouth. Just waiting now for the wailing and gnashing of teeth when the bestestmostest lose.

andysstuff Posted 15 May, 2016 Posted 15 May, 2016 What an end to a superb day. Couldn't have written it better.
Pamplemousse Posted 15 May, 2016 Posted 15 May, 2016 We hoped for an agonising play-off defeat and they have not disappointed us!! HAHAHAHAHAHA
CB Fry Posted 15 May, 2016 Posted 15 May, 2016 The countdown to the first "I'd rather be us than them" tweet begins.
Pamplemousse Posted 15 May, 2016 Posted 15 May, 2016 We don't need rallyboy. Pompey write the jokes themselves
Jimmy_D Posted 15 May, 2016 Posted 15 May, 2016 There can't have been many worse days for Pompey fans
Waterside.saint Posted 15 May, 2016 Posted 15 May, 2016 Now we wait for an epic melt-down :lol: :lol:
explorer saint Posted 15 May, 2016 Posted 15 May, 2016 Sweet as a nut if carlsberg did perfect days !
Pamplemousse Posted 15 May, 2016 Posted 15 May, 2016 Shame sky aren't showing some solemn skates. Those are the pictures we all want to see
Jimmy_D Posted 15 May, 2016 Posted 15 May, 2016 I thought our year was the last season where that was the case and that away goals do count now. But I may have just made that up. Other way round, our one was the first year where away goals didn't count and it's been that way since. The year before we'd have been in the final!
TopGun Posted 15 May, 2016 Posted 15 May, 2016 Time for some Neil Allen bulls**t bingo - vanquished heroes, mighty warriors, epic heroics...
