Blame the ref!!!

[martintowner]

who scored for the town please

[andyetfc]

Rudi Hall x 2

Andy Jones x 1

Steve V missed a pen in the 89th minute!

 

We looked good at 3-0 up but then tried to make life difficult for ourselves.

[martintowner]

thanks andy

[Gazza]

Rudi went off mid way through the 2nd half & then we just lost our way.

 

3 cracking goals & even Valandia's penalty miss was spectacular!

 

EFC very poor, thought the scoreline really flattered them, although the Town in the last 25 mins were not great.

[Big Bad]

Dream on pal!!!! If the ref hadent cheated and sent of our lad for falling back over and negus holding his face like he had been shot it would have been a differant story!!! I dont offen blame match officals but he called that wrong!!! if it was a sending off why wasnt rudi booked for putting his hands around Bound's neck and your 3 booked/sent off for kicking out??? swings and round abouts mate. you got the rub of the green 2nite we didnt, as bad as the THREE officals were!

[syrup]

be fair it was the 11 who looked like he was shot Negas was a sub and had not come on, had we had 11 on the pitch i think the result would have been different, as for the officials i didnt think the ref was to bad just the lino's

Cobblers! All the ref's fault? Ask your back three, who spent the first hour leaving the ball for each other, or, for that matter, your management team for playing a converted winger in the back line and your best centre half in midfield!

[Hawkeye Pierce]

Well I missed it and I'm delighted with all three points. Well done town!

[townerboy]

very very flat atmosphere though. no singing, no banter. its a bit sad at Ware tbh.

[Arkwright]

What?, you should have been with us engaging in jolly banter with some of the E's team.

[Mr Happy]

Negus wasn't even on the bench as he was ill and sitting in the stand wearing a very dodgy hat!!!

 

Thought EFC looked poor and, at last, we showed some real team spirit. 2 cracking goals in the first half and an equally great goal early on in the 2nd. EFC just didn't seem to want to win and at 2 down were more interested in kicking lumps out of our lads. Quote from Stevenson "F***ing hit him"! Once 3 up and with Rudi off the pitch EFC suddenly showed some spirit and their first was a good one. The final 15 was very tense but Town deserved their win and the 3 points. Just hope Ricci's injury isn't too bad as he seemed to be coming back into form.

[Duke of York]

Now who's under pressure Mr. Lucas? - Three straight defeats for the E's and a couple of tough away games coming up!

[Mr Happy]

Talking to some of their fans, it appears that he keeps chopping and changing the side and squad and doesn't get any consistency.

[The Invisible Man]

Hmm, now where have I heard that before, Happy?

 

Excuse me, Big Bad, but we are in charge of blaming the ref. That's our speciality. You blame the pitch or something, or the egg sandwiches.

 

Anyway, well done Town, first class result. Well done Jim, staff and players. More of the same please!

[The Invisible Man]

Here, half a mo. Matty was named as an unused sub but was ill and sitting in the stand????

 

Are we that short of players?

[townerboy]

couldn't hear anthing behind the goal, apart from the stephenson baiting

[Mr Happy]

I can't remeber the last time Gazza was so loud!!!

To some degree, perhaps yes. Only Robbie Carroll immediately springs to mind as missing out last night, though. This isn't the first time its happened this season, of course. I think Jim's difficulty is that he wants to let players know early if they are not going to be involved. That's fine until a last minute change in circumstances arises (eg a bout of flu). Hindsight's a wonderful thing; I have a PHD in it!
