Actually it was 6-1

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

The ball was IN.

That crap 'shot' that trundled pitifully all the way across the Albion line when it was 5-1 was a good foot over the line. Don't you just HATE it when match officials patronise you that much, through the mistaken notion that they're just being kind to the afflicted. Certainly H Block thought so. 'Linesman you're a DISGRACE! ' we all bellowed.

Maybe there's hope for IRONY yet

 

[Mr deez]

I thought I saw it pretty clearly from J block, and personally, I didn't think it had crossed the line.

 

[jevs]

Thought you were going to say that everyone had just lost count

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

To be fair, i think the first goal (might have been second, i can't remember there were so many) was about three foot offside

 

[1066gull]

Sign him up sign him up sign him up (Lino)

 

[gts big bruv]

From my seat in J Block i must admit it looked as though it was just over the line

 

[rool]

and mcgoo has the cheek to claim we don't get the rub of the green

 

[Beach Hut]

First goal was at least 3 foot off side and the linsman was 10 foot behind the play as well

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

I was pretty much level with the goal line and I'm certain the whole ball did NOT cross the line



Does it really matter though?

No. No it doesn't.

 

[Gwylan]

I had a good view of that 'goal' and it wasn't even close to going over the line.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Looked pretty clear cut from H Block row F.

The ball was IN

 

[Richy_Seagull]

Was never in. I was looking right along the line.

Not that it matters.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Nah. From my front-row view in H Block, the ball only went three-quarters of the way over the line.

We lost 5.75 - 1.

 

[Jam The Man]

In other matters.. what about Hendo's handball during the first half when he was already on a yellow card!? Could've been double figures!

Nope - I was directly level with our goal-line and not one bit of the ball crossed the line, never mind all of it. About the vision I would expect from someone who prefers the Brewery Tap barmaids over those in the Park View

Typical journo

I have NEVER said I prefer the Brewery Tap barmaids

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Was anyone else slightly disappointed that it didn't cross the line?

I mean, obviously I don't like to see the Albion in this position, but frankly we'd all died of shame by that point, and somehow it would have summed up the whole day perfectly if they'd got six.

It would have been something else to amuse ourselves with too.

Thought he bent back just enough to prevent it being handball.

 

[Exiled in Exeter]

Didn’t look in from F Block.

But 5-1 did flatter us today! If they wanted, they might have been able to move into double figures! They were very unlucky with the shot that came back off the woodwork.
