Lady Luck is not on our side atm. It’s a long season. I’ll judge DM when the season has finished. Missing a penalty is nothing to do with luck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a load of rubbish, the keeper could have done whatever he wanted, the penalty still went wide. A saved penalty and you’d have a minor point……missing the target is not unlucky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWLERTON GHOST Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Missing a target of 8ft x 8 yards from 12 yards is pretty pìss poor. You can flower it up as much as you like but its probably the simplest tasks a footballer encounters in a game .... It's a freebie .... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 If we scored the Penalty we would probably gone on to win. If the offside goal was not incorrectly disallowed we probably would have gone on to win. Will be another game where these things go in our favour. But I though overall our performance on Saturday was very poor and disjointed and if that doesn't change we will not be challenging for top 6.

It is getting it past the keeper as well that is the tricky bit. Edited September 21, 2021 by OxonOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 It looks like a poor decision, but it doesn't excuse a poor performance once we missed the penalty. We are far too quick to let our heads go down and think the world is against us. You cannot get promoted with that mindset. It's almost like a sense of self-entitlement and throwing your toys out the pram when things don't quite go your way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwellOwl Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 A shocking decision on the disallowed goal. The worrying part is, after Shrewsbury scored, I didn't feel like we would comeback to win. Something as a club we have lacked for so long, having the fight to comeback. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw when he made the run. You always know when you see the reaction of the other team. It was a perfectly good goal." Where's the demand for the linesman to go on social media and apologise for being a fool and getting that decision wrong? I mean, Bannan apologised for missing the penalty, shouldn't we demand the officials to follow suit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassetts Allsorts Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Awful decision. In fact prob one of the worst I've seen at Hillsborough. I was sat directly opposite in the North and just couldn't believe he'd flagged. What actually happens to a lino when they get a decision so obviously wrong?

But much the same, we sit in the South in line with the 18yd line and neither of us could believe he flagged. My mate went barmy and I'm sure the linesman heard him call him a buffoon, or sounded something like that. Had to give him one of my Werthers to calm him down. Although we played poorly after the first 30 minutes, the chances were there to win the game quite easily: Disallowed goal Missed penalty Penalty not given Goalkeeping error for their goal etc. Another day it's a 4-0 win BUT the guys have to stop dropping their heads and it all going to rat sheite when the opposition scores. We've brought some good players in at this level, so hopefully things will change sooner rather than later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another day, we win comfortably...but bloody hell we need to stop being so soft. We are going to get setbacks and the way we respond to those will determine whether we can challenge for promotion or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The keeper could dive whichever way he wanted. In fact he could just stand in the middle of the goal with his pants round his ankles and doing the helicopter it’s irrelevant as absolutely nobody is saying that a horrible pee roller penalty that feebly rolls 2 yards wide of the goal is a good one. Except you. Penalties are nothing to do with luck. It’s a mixture of skill, technique and bottle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except you. Penalties are nothing to do with luck. It’s a mixture of skill, technique and bottle. I’m not saying it’s all down to complete luck. But taking a pen definitely has an element of luck involved imo. OBVIOUSLY you can take a bad pen by smashing it over the bar. I’m find it hard to blame bannan for missing the pen when he hit the target. Gk picks a side and he saves it. If he dives the other way, no one says it’s a bad pen.
