Morecambe 1 [Phillips] Mansfield 1 LIVE iFollow thread

How the hell was that not a red card??? Both feet off the ground (so out of control), foot at chest height. Why do we never get these decisions?

[AndyReifman]

Oh noooooo.

Great pressure there. Unfortunate for Wildig.

[Born again Bill]

clear cut red , does the 4th official have no say he was about 4 foot of the assault !

Feels a bit familiar to Saturday so far. Again struggling to create chances, other than the goal we've had a Cole long shot that almost cleared the stand, and the cross that was just ahead of Wildig. We've got to create more, especially against a team that's not won all season.

[Keith]

To be fair, the ref couldn't have had a clear view of it and it was only slightly off the floor, so a fifty-fifty...

[tim-sanchez]

Feels like it's been about 10 minutes since we made a pass in their half. I feel like we're sorely missing a winger, Pringle probably to replace Wildig second half who I think's been anonymous so far.

[AndyReifman]

Started the half brightly, but I feel like we weren't able to maintain concentration.

Hopefully we can get it back for the second half.

[Slanester]

That wasn’t a foul, it was ABH, red all day.

KP stood ball watching, their man had way too much space and time.

"We need to be better glen", was that a reference to the football or the commentary !!!

[Keith]

good save by Turner. Tooms with an awful pass to play Sam in to trouble, leading to the foul & yellow card.

Mansfield on top at the moment. Need to change something.

[Keith]

Phew! Fantastic save by their keeper!

[tim-sanchez]

Not sure about the penalty, camera was moving too fast to catch it.

Chance after chance for us this half though, so much better

[Born again Bill]

What do we have to do to get the right decisions , incredible !

[Keith]

Not sure about the penalty, camera was moving too fast to catch it.

Yup, I've watched it twice and can't say for sure.

[AndyReifman]

This game has a Mansfield Pen in the 93rd minute from a soft call written all over it.

All that, and a red card for us too.

[Bristol Shrimp]

Be great to see Slew get a goal!

[Keith]

Marmite commentary from Radio Biased!

[AndyReifman]

Disappointing not to get the win, had some good chances. On to Saturday.

[Keith]

We looked like we settled for a draw a long time before the end of the game, which is a shame. Another point, but we won't get a better time to play against Mansfield.

[tim-sanchez]

Felt we should have pushed on there, much better second half and we looked dangerous for much of it. Ultimately I don't think either side will feel too disappointed.

Left foot shoulder height, right foot waist height, ref clear view, absolute joke

[dannymorc1]

Missed most of the commentary as travelling through Spain with poor internet signal
Just seen Keith’s picture of the definite red card challenge. Disgraceful refereeing.
GBH anywhere else. From our commentary team it sounds as if it was a fair result, but a penalty would have been great. Bring on FGR on Saturday

[Little Shrimp]

On reflection, thought we were probably the better side after a strong second half. Excellent start but let Mansfield back in after we scored, and they ended up playing some decent stuff.

But they didn't offer much in the second and we had a good few chances, should have had a penalty and were denied by a brilliant save.

All round a pretty good performance, just a shame about quite a few sloppy passes/touches that stopped us really being able to take more control in the game. Annoyingly as he got into some great positions, Phillips was a massive culprit for this. Attempting 'clever' passes that were never really on, that might have been a cool idea if one of our players was ever going to be there to receive. Hard to drop him though as he scored again and got into some really dangerous areas throughout.

A bit mixed from Diagouraga tonight - had some really lovely moments but also a few poorly weighted passes that did basically scream "I've been been suspended and haven't played for a few weeks". I'm sure he'll get his sharpness back soon. Songo'o looking like he's not quite adjusted to being back on the pitch yet - hopefully will settle soon and find his feet.

NKP overall had a really good game, and kept his head when on the ball which was great to see. In regards to their goal, I think he did get drawn a little bit too far towards the ball but it wasn't criminal. He was right to be stood goal-side of his man so as to defend the 6 yard box and not let him slip in ahead. Was a clever finish too.

After his error and some strange things being said about him on another thread, Lavelle was pretty imperious - for me one of his most impressive attributes is his ability to anticipate and get ahead of strikers to intercept passes into them and then carry the ball out. Showcased that last night well.
