hypochondriac Posted 2 February, 2011 Share Posted 2 February, 2011 I thought it was less about us playing poorly and more about them playing well. Was pretty impressed with Exeter TBH, probably deserved a draw. Nguessun (sp) looked really good and Chambo was really poor. I think he needs a rest.

benjii Posted 2 February, 2011 Share Posted 2 February, 2011 I've just watched the highlights. Encouraging stuff from N'Guessan and a brilliant first header by Rickie. Their goal was weird. One of those where the defence does well to play the intended recipient of the pass offside and then someone nips in from nowhere to collect it. Davis probably shouldn't have come out but their player was through on goal so the comments that he "gifted them a goal" yesterday were a bit harsh as Nardiello still would've been in a good position to score.

Would like to move away from the situation where he starts every game. Whether Forte or N'Guessan can play on the right, I'm not sure, but when Lallana is back he could do with one of those on the left or we could play the more narrow formation. I actually think Chamberlain's best position long-term might be "in the hole". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexstar Posted 2 February, 2011 Share Posted 2 February, 2011 Just set my laptop up for nothing. No highlights there.......... Yeah they are.

Saint_clark Posted 2 February, 2011 Author Share Posted 2 February, 2011 Just watched the highlights. Best bit was the Grecianettes. Their goal should have been given as offside really - and there's even a slight case for a foul on Fonte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only do that on the extended highlights of home games. For away games and the short version of home games all clubs use the "Player" commentators which are neutrals.

Smirking_Saint Posted 2 February, 2011 Share Posted 2 February, 2011 Just watched the highlights, we seemed to be playing a very high line and by the looks of things we had a very very poor defensive display with everyone of the backline seemingly making mistakes within the 6 minutes of highlights (not good really) and mistake by Davis aswell. Upfront we seemed pretty good, N'Guessen looked like he was lively and looks a good player, good to see Schniederlin up and around the box. Great to get Lambert scoring again and loving piling crosses into the box. But then, thats only an opinion of 6 minutes of footage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 2 February, 2011 Share Posted 2 February, 2011 (edited) Their goal should have been given as offside really It was no where near offside. Watch which player actually scores, he comes from many yards behind the Saints defence when the ball is played. In any case the video doesn't show the defensive line and the assist maker at the same time. Edited 2 February, 2011 by Matthew Le God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got away from his guy on the wing well and the cross was perfect. I reckon he's gonna be class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 2 February, 2011 Author Share Posted 2 February, 2011 You do realise they are probably all under 16? It was no where near offside. Watch which player actually scores, he comes from many yards behind the Saints defence when the ball is played. Can only see them from a distance, and the "assets" put them at 18 at least And it doesn't matter about the bloke who scores, the pass was meant for someone who is offside and was less than a yard away from receiving it.

Matthew Le God Posted 2 February, 2011 Share Posted 2 February, 2011 And it doesn't matter about the bloke who scores, the pass was meant for someone who is offside and was less than a yard away from receiving it. But you don't see the pass and the defensive line in the same shot, so it is impossible to tell for certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfc4prem Posted 3 February, 2011 Share Posted 3 February, 2011 The guy that was offside was interfering with play by distracting both the defence (who may have assumed it would be given as offside (I know they shouldn't)) and the keeper. Should've been given as offside as soon as the ball was intentionally played to the Exeter man in the offside position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Posted 3 February, 2011 Share Posted 3 February, 2011 You have not been on here long enough alexdawkins to understand why some of us get angry and aggressive at the negative posts fair enough with criticsm but review your comments at the end of the season. We sign Forte and people were having a right go on here monday night, and the lad has not yet kicked a ball for us. I predict you will change your views in due course unless you get infected by alpines and others negativity And have you been on here long enough, VK, to join in the anti-Lowe, Anti-Wilde, Anti-Burley, Anti-Poortvleit, Anti-......... Unless you have opinions in more than one direction you can't have a debate. Complaining that people with opposing views shouldn't be heard is the usual resort of those who simply can't make a logical argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldNick Posted 3 February, 2011 Share Posted 3 February, 2011 Yes I was. If he isn't able to crouch or sit on the floor, then he's surely not in good enough physical condition to carry out stewarding duties. What sort of use is he going to be in the event of an emergency, pitch invasion, a fight breaking out or if someone collapses and he can't bend down to assist? There was such a vast area from the barrier at the bottom of the few steps that they called a terrace to the pitchside barrier, that there was no point whatsoever in the stewards standing where they did and obscuring our view. Are our travelling stewards that much of a bunch of softies that they'll do whatever the home club's idiot stewards tell them when it was clearly the wrong thing to do? Even so, it was more that idiot steward's shrugging and smirking attitude that p!ssed me off. The Exeter Head Steward was as much of a d!ck too - shrugging off the complaints, only to then send a lacky over to swap stewards and have them finally crouch down. Completely stupid stewarding which could easily have caused more problems. Its always spooky when you see a fellow contributor on here is standing close to you and you dont realise. Were you one of the ones shouting at him? or part of the few who starting singing for Bart only for KD to then make that make turning save\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upfront we seemed pretty good, N'Guessen looked like he was lively and looks a good player, good to see Schniederlin up and around the box. Great to get Lambert scoring again and loving piling crosses into the box. But then, thats only an opinion of 6 minutes of footage. In the 1st half N'Guessen went running up the left wing with the ball and seemed surprised to get past a couple of players with the ball still at his feet. More luck than skill at that point. Plenty of running but didnt look that comfortable on the ball. Only time he looked good was when he played a few passes that led to him running onto the ball at the by-line and getting a decent cross in that Lambert lapped up for our 1st goal. He was taken off then which I thought was strange at the time. Lack of match fitness probably brought that about but I thought he was worth another 5 mins while we were on top and doing the right things. The change of formation from that sub let Exeter get back on the attack and it became end to end. The changes did mean that the long balls had more quality about them which brought about the 2nd goal so all was well in the end. I haven't seen the highlights but the defence looked pretty solid throughout the game and delt with pretty much everything Exeter through at them. They got through the midfield too easily and the defence probably had more to deal with than they should have but at least they stood up to the task. KD probably should have stayed back for there goal but like the after match interview with Adkins says, the ball wasnt bouncing as it should and if it was on our pitch KD would have come out and cleared it no problem.

During the 2nd half some of our fans slipped over to the other side and sat with the home fans for a bit. When they came back they were joking about how they took the away stand. lol. I was wondering if there was anyone from on here round by me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their goal should have been given as offside really - and there's even a slight case for a foul on Fonte. Have just watched their goal for the first time and was just about to post the same. There's every chance Fonte would have cleared that off the line if he hadn't been impeded. If that had happened the other way around it would have been a nailed on penalty.

St_Tel49 Posted 3 February, 2011 Share Posted 3 February, 2011 No, it doesn't work like that any more. It doesn't matter for whom the pass was 'intended'. That implies that someone in an offside position can deliberately distract a defence while someone else runs in from an onside position. Is that really acceptable within the rules?

No, but it does matter if you're interfering with play - the pass wasn't intended for someone on the other side of the pitch, BOTH players ran through the middle. They were about a yard away from each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trousers Posted 3 February, 2011 Share Posted 3 February, 2011 Is it too late for the referee to do what the ref did in the Charlton game? i.e. dis-allow the goal; consult linesman; allow the goal; consult 4th official; dis-allow the goal.

Unless you have opinions in more than one direction you can't have a debate. Complaining that people with opposing views shouldn't be heard is the usual resort of those who simply can't make a logical argument. The issue, for me, is not "people with opposing views". You're correct that these are the essence of debate, and most of us welcome that - or else why bother coming here? I have a problem with your suggestion that the push-back is coming from people "who simply can't make a logical argument" because that comment is rather insulting towards a number of thoughtful posters and, if I may say, a little pompous. The issue is the over-the-top, knee-jerk negativity that appears whenever we face a little adversity. If you want to see examples of people "who simply can't make a logical argument", try looking at those who are quick to consign our promotion chances to oblivion - or to send a new player to the rubbish heap - just because something bad happens in a game. As I said earlier, some people would benefit from going back and reading what they've posted in match day threads, and looking - for example - at some of those immediately after Adkins' arrival should be embarrassing to them. Nobody is denying them the right to post this stuff but nor should anybody be denying us the right to tell them that some of their comments make them look like idiots.

Wade Garrett Posted 4 February, 2011 Share Posted 4 February, 2011 More importantly, did anyone go into that pub near the ground that was totally unprepared for more than half a dozen punters. One bloke behind the bar, and it was very busy. Had to resort to sneaking a few cans in from the minibus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
