Albion vs. Tranmere Match Thread

[Basil Fawlty]

I thought we were really poor in the first half, apart from two good shots from Coxy and Jake. They deserved the lead in the first half, and on another day we could of walked into the dressing room being 3-0 down, with the amount of chances they had.

In the second half we came out with all guns blazing, no surprise really. I thought we gave it 110%, I don't think we did enough to win the game mind you. Because Tranmere where a very physical and a very well organised backline.

I was right in line with the penalty decision, and to me it could of gone either way. Jakey turned his man superbly, but lost control of the ball and that to me could of been the only reason the referee gave him a booking for diving.

We didn't give up trying, espically the chance Jakey had right at the death what went wide. I was totally speechless, espically with Jakey in the form he is in. On another day we could of got a draw, but I think Tranmere did enough to win the game.

Great report Kev.

Where's that info from?

My brother was pitchside with St. John.

 

[jakes right boot]

I thought it was a nailed on penalty.

 

[Theatre of Trees]

I thought it was a nailed on penalty.

Thought the same viewng it from Block U in the Family Stand.

Thought the same viewng it from Block U in the Family Stand.

I think what gave the referee a doubt in his mind, was the ball was kind of five yards away from Jakey, when he turned his man and then went down.

 

[Silent Bob]

Inside info. Fourth official said penalty when Jake was booked for diving.

Every fucker but the ref could see that was a penalty.

 

[Skaville]

I didn't. I thought Jake new the touch past the defender would go out of play and went to ground. That said, my view was no where near as good as that of other posters on here...

 

[Everest]

but I think Tranmere did enough to win the game.

You are joking? Please tell me you are.

Did you actually watch the second half?

Jake's miss was flagged offside anyway.

 

[SeagullTim]

Dissapointed, would have been a perfect Birthday present if we had won yesterday.

Anyway, anyone hear my name get read out

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Jake's miss was flagged offside anyway.

No it wasn't - the lino gave a goal kick.

Think Kev's report above is fair - we could have been 3 down at H/T but in the end were very unlucky not to get a point.

IF we can keeo ALL these players together the future looks OK.

Wish Whing was our player though, and I hope Bowditch starts at Donny instead of Fraser.

For what it's worth, although FDM is a legend, Wilkins picking Hendo was the right decision - he is the better keeper.

As for Lynch - if Mayo had played like that yesterday NSC would have gone into meltdown over such an abject performance.

Otherthings on his mind ? he certainly wasn't at the races yesterday.

I did something tragic on Saturday, on an impulse I called Jason Macateer over at half time and got him to sign my poncho..cheeky get said wrote 1-0 to the Rovers on it!, he did say though that he was impressed with the Albion support though!

We should have had a point out of them, but I have said on here before that I think Tranmere will finish top two...(even though I loathe them)

Anyway great afters at the Brewery Tap.
