Graham back 4 Hornchurch

Well having seen the video replay, I'm going out on a limb here and yep, it does look like a penalty. Played it a couple of times to make my mind up. It looked a difficult one from the video but the more I play it...well.

 

And now I await the abuse from the all angles here....

 

Oh and I'm only having a banter...

[Uncle Urchin]

funnily enough I didn't think it was a penalty...(I haven't seen the video yet)

 

suppose it depends on the blink of an eye and the angle...I also thought that the ball wasn't fully over the line for the equalizer....

 

opinions.... opinions....

 

who would change it.... <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

It certainly wasn't deliberate, that was for sure but I can't make out if there was any contact on the ball when Pat was going in.

 

So, Watson, I deduce that as the striker "went" over the leg of the defender, a penalty it was.

 

As for our goal...Well, there are some that disagree and some that won't but as I close my eyes, I can se the ball going in under the bar and going into the goal at an angle...but I could've blinked - lol

 

Anyway, enough of this, time for bed.

 

Cheers once again Unc for the hospitality on Ssaturday. As I said, I enjoyed it if some didn't.

You might have to sit down to read this one - I'm going to be kind about the officials - well the linesmen anyway.

 

For both goals the linesman were perfectly placed. Or at least for their pen decision and our goal.

 

Certainly there is no doubt in my mind that the ball was over the line - and I asked Pat after the game and he says he definately played the ball. We've had a few of those go against us this season - so if it's going to even itself out we'll be getting pens every week from now til May <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
