So what lost us 2 points?

[Husty]

The definitive poll

(to follow)

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Brighton's failure to win.

 

[Gav1901]

Officials.

 

[severnside gull]

I'm thinking a landslide for option 3

 

[Poyetry In Motion]

poor finishing
poor luck
piss poor officials

 

[clippedgull]

Tommy Elphicks hand was the catalyst that led to the incompetent decision.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Can we move on to Charlton now?

 

[Husty]

Brighton's failure to win.

But thats not the option you voted for

 

[Bobby's Gull]

Twatty officials and the inability of the Albion to capitalise on the chances we had.

 

[Beach Hut]

Combination of both as we should have out our chances away.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

But we didnt really have that many chances as we have had against other teams.

This was the archetypal "one goal win it" game. And we scored it.

We could be playing now and Bmth still wouldnt have scored (they had ONE shot) so this time we were robbed by two ***** in yellow.

Im usually the first to say when its our fault (bad defending, lack of taking chances etc) but Im STILL angry now and feel like I have been anally raped by the officials.

Both really. Had Barnes put away any of his chances the penalty wouldn't have mattered, that said it wasn't a penalty and we would have wone one nil if it wasn't the fact that we had retards for officials.

 

[Prodigal Son]

Both really. Had Barnes put away any of his chances the penalty wouldn't have mattered, that said it wasn't a penalty and we would have wone one nil if it wasn't the fact that we had retards for officials.

All of the above.

I wonder what have we done to deserve such abysmal officials for 70% of the games that we play at home?

 

[BensGrandad]

We have to go with our inability to convert easy chances as we have or should have got used to the fact that most officials now in the lower leagues are not very good and want to be the stars of the show rather than cast members or bit players.

 

[Husty]

I'm thinking a landslide for option 3

So was I

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Poor finishing.
Ankergren (although unlucky that his punch went straight to a Rochdale player).
Officials.
That just about covers it.

 

[e77]

Where is the 'give it a rest' option?

 

[Easy 10]

We'd got ourselves into a winning position, and that back 4, well the whole team, sweated their bollocks off for 90 minutes to prevent a goalscoring opportunity for the opposition. Ankergren did not have a save to make. Bournemouth did not had a single effort on goal, or create a chance worthy of that description. Then right at the death, the linesman had a brainstorm and in an instant changed everything, flushing all our efforts down the toilet. And the ref let him do it.

100% officials that cost us. Absolutely 100%.

 

[Diatribe]

anyone thta watched it on tv, was barnes offside witht he one chance he actually managed to get in then net? i tjought several offsides looked dodgy, 2-0 would been game over.

 

[Easy 10]

He was marginally. There were some tight ones, but the lino on the south side got those calls right.
