Exiles thread - Birmingham City (A)

[Token]

The only positive thing I can see is that we've had good practice of having minimal possession against Man City, going to be a really tough ask though

Just need a strong penalty appeal for us to be turned down to complete the dodgy ref bingo grid

Amazingly, there’s only 4 players on the pitch now who started against Man City. Shows what a squad we now have

H/T 0-0 Well done boys

[i8ubutler]

Half Time.
Did well to survive at 0 - 0.

[gshaw]

As above so far so good given the situation we've been put in

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Good half all things considered. Our goal is leading a charmed life and can’t believe they’ve missed. We need to shut down their 24 shooting from range when we clear the ball.

I know it’s tough but we’ve also got to somehow keep the ball a bit. Relieve some pressure.

[cymruO]

Well done O's!!! This is a tough listen. Maybe that ref will award us a penalty second half! Come on O's - keep 'em out.

[Token]

It’s gonna be a long second half!

Huddersfield 2-0 down though

[Bergen]

That red card has to be appealed surely

I don`t think it will be overturned.

[Cheshunto]

Shocking decision
Currie played the ball clearly
The Birmingham players pressured the Ref, very poor

[Chicken Dhansak]

Anyone know why it’s not on Sky+ red button? All the others are.

Because Birmingham City have refused any British live screening of the game. I think it's because they bums on seats.

The linesman who was right next to it gave a throw to us.

[George M]

It’s another example of a ref not being able to handle that pressure and ruining a game for those that have spent a lot of time and money. Absolute joke decision

Of course it won’t, only Premier League clubs get decisions changed.

So hold on a minute other clubs get their fixture and KO times rearranged to suit Sky but Birmingham can pick and choose what they allow to be streamed?

I can accept losing but if we go on to lose this game it will be completely down to the Ref . We're being cheated out of this game . I expect Birmingham to now throw the kitchen sink at us in the second half . If we can hold on for a draw against this Ref I will be delighted

[i8ubutler]

Bugger.
Inevitable I suppose.
I just feel cheated though.

[Rich Tea Wellin]

f*cking hell Keeley. Twice he’s dropped the ball at a Birmingham players foot. You need to be solid there when you have ten men. Poor

[idontkn0 M]

Really gutting.

[RedDwarf 1881]

Mate , we've been totally cheated tonight .

[gshaw]

Bugger.

The most frustrating thing we'll never know how close we'd run them on an even battle. Played with 10 men when we had Lemming in goal and then again tonight with the red

[essexfootball]

If you're being brutal Keeley has not pushed away a few out of danger that he should've done

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Probably a foul on sweeney as well. Can’t see us getting a goal based on what’s happened since we went to ten.

Feel for the fans who’ve gone up there and had it ruined by a poor decision

[LPE]

If you're being brutal Keeley has not pushed away a few out of danger that he should've done

He’s got form for this in the last 3 matches but has got away with it. Being punished now.

If you push it away you’ve got to get serious distance on it. Of late he’s been pushing it back into the danger zone.

[Beradogs]

I know it’s sacrilege around these parts but Keeley is a little overrated.
