Re: Sour Grapes
Read that after the game. Can’t comment on the non-penalty, too far away. And given I’m close to the dugout and higher up he couldn’t have seen it any better than me. The ref was well placed,
The Varney elbow was closer to me and I thought it was a straight red. The guy was rash, obviously pissed at conceding, and went in elbows high. Too experienced to act like that I would have thought. Stupid thing to do and got punished.
Bottlegate. We’ve all seen the injustice of Dayton getting stretchered off and sent off for tossing his kit in the direction of the ref whilst sitting on the deck with a broken ankle. If that’s a red then Ince definitely was too, petulant childish act and he can’t have many complaints.
I thought Cheltenham were naughty all through the game, a far better class of fouls than NL, much more subtle. They clearly had an agenda to rough up the new boys which was a shame, they looked quite good in the first 20 until we adjusted to the pace. Then we were superior and they got shirty pulling.
Over 90 he can’t have too many complaints but of course his comments are for home consumption so will be a tad biased.

Re: Sour Grapes
Yup.I have a real fondness for Cheltenham after what's happened.So if they are not happy with the way they lost then I have no problem with it.
That's football.Sometimes it goes against you and sometimes it doen't.

Re: Sour Grapes
Regardless of the sendings off they never looked like scoring. Their Only real threat came from those long throws.
As for the penalty claim what a load of bollox. Brill got down well tipped the ball away and Varney fell down like a sack of the proverbial. Granted he could not have avoided contact as committed but he did make a bit of a meal of it. Deserved the yellow, got another for a nasty elbow to Marvin’s head. Cheerio Varney. As for the second red, very soft but as DN said them the rules fella.
Orient were far better than their opponents, although we never really got out of second gear.

Brill never touched it. My seat in the SS was ideally placed to see and amongst my 10 friends we all agreed it was a pen.Frogger wrote: ↑Sun Aug 04, 2019 8:55 am Regardless of the sendings off they never looked like scoring. Their Only real threat came from those long throws.

Re: Sour Grapes
I’m sure many have good feelings for the Cheltenham fans and their generosity. Magnificent. But Duff chose to make his none too generous comments and we are entitled to give ours.Howling Mad Murdock wrote: ↑Sun Aug 04, 2019 8:35 amYup.I have a real fondness for Cheltenham after what's happened.So if they are not happy with the way they lost then I have no problem with it.

Re: Sour Grapes
The Varney second yellow he can't moan about, he caught Coulson with a high boot five minutes before, if Coulson would've made more of it, I think he would've seen a second yellow then

Re: Sour Grapes
The other two, I haven't seen them again but he is within his rights to moan about those, the pen could've been and I haven't seen the bottle throw but Varney he can have no complaints.Howling Mad Murdock wrote: ↑Sun Aug 04, 2019 11:49 amThat's what managers do,though.essexfootball wrote: ↑Sun Aug 04, 2019 11:44 am The Varney second yellow he can't moan about, he caught Coulson with a high boot five minutes before, if Coulson would've made more of it, I think he would've seen a second yellow then
