Yeah i saw this on the Visitor website. Jim said he is the Manager so it is his choice or words to that affect.

AMEN to that! Being a football manager must be incredibly difficult with many complex decisions week in week out. If Jim says Baz is back in nets then Baz is back in nets end of! You ain't going to keep 30 professional players happy week in week out, but I'm sure they're big enough to accept Jims' decision as manager and get on with it.In my opinion IF any have voiced their disquiet about this they should keep their mouths shut. I'm sure Mark is big enough to handle Jims' decision!

UTS.

Dominated first 30 minutes, then took foot off the gas. They gained confidence, scored and could have been in front.
Good point in the end.

Which numpty would throw a flare close to our own player, too young to be arrested apparently

Another muppet kicked the ball out of the ground near the end! How does that help the club image?

Were they from the same party/together?

[paulshrimp]

Looked like it. To be fair they were doing a lot of chanting but let themselves down with these two incidents.

[jbc.shrimp]

Can the club borrow Macc's security video ? If so, identify and make an example of them.

[Gone_Shrimping]

Can anybody tell me why Kevin's header was disallowed.

No way was he offside.

[paulshrimp]

The linesman flagged for an offside on the far side of the pitch, not Kevin.

I think one of our lads was standing on the goal line which could have been interpreted as interfering with play....not that I would agree....

[Freez]

Complete crap, when the ball was played to Old flag went up before it reached him, I have held the video picture when Mandeville crosses and Old is a yard ONSIDE, appalling decision, could and should have been allowed.
Kev has nothing to do with it, nor any player on the line.

How many crap decisions have led to us gaining points this season?
How many crap decisions have led to us losing points this season?

Clear, deliberate handballs in the penalty area not given, miles off side goals allowed (Port Vale) yet on-side goals disallowed for us. If these things genuinely 'balance out over a season', we could still be outside chance of the Play Offs rather than wondering if we're definitely safe yet?

I can't commit too much as I see very few matches but this isn't the first season that SV posters have complained about this. So you have to ask 'Why is it happening?' The only reasons I can think of are -
We are looking at incidents from our point of view only
The other teams are better at hiding their fouls and making our fouls obvious
Refs are biased towards the bigger clubs

Or a combination of all 3?

Cheltenham away where we led 2-1 in the last minute and a blatant foul in the build up to the equaliser was not given.

Maybe some of our non playing staff are 'wind up merchants' and complain too vigorously at decisions that go against us that they have now got such a reputation in the eyes of the officials that it is working against us.

I can hear Freez saying 'complete crap'....once again...

Why do you always make 'questions' rather than 'statements'? Why not own your observations and say "I think..."

I think we're the complete opposite! We don't fall over and roll around. We don't appeal to the ref when we fall over. We don't kill games by suddenly getting cramp when the opposition are in full flow. Look at the likes of Stevenage and tell me we're in their league?

[redrobo]

As you are having yet another pop at me .....suggest you read my post again and take notice that i actually said 'non playing staff'....

And it wasn't a question just an observation....

It was yet another thinly veiled pop at Ken. Why not just stand by your position, instead of "maybe"?

[redrobo]

Must admit that I do find Ken's attitude at times towards officials when he vigorously questions certain contentious decisions that go against us as possibly being viewed as aggressive by the officials which could work against us.

However a certain Steve Evans is leagues ahead of Ken when it comes to aggressively questioning decisions.

They'd of loved Scholes, never said boo to a goose or showed any encouragement to the players
Thank the lord for Pete Wild, he's the new Jimbo
