The Moonster Posted Saturday at 15:55 Share Posted Saturday at 15:55 Extremely disappointing that we couldn't hold out for another minute but probably shouldn't be too upset given we had a 16 year old in goal for 70 odd minutes. Really need this first win in the bag. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted Saturday at 15:56 Author Share Posted Saturday at 15:56 (edited) That’s about the worst refereeing display you’ll see. Sickener. We deserved to see that out. Shiels has a lot to answer for for those misses. Quite embarrassing for Annan that they could only scrape an undeserved draw against 10 men with a wee boy in goals.

squeezebox-son Posted Saturday at 15:59 Share Posted Saturday at 15:59 Annan stolen a point there. Ref up there with the worst I've seen. It'll be a poor team who finish below Annan this season, on that showing. Another draw... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Kelly Isley III Posted Saturday at 16:23 Share Posted Saturday at 16:23 That was two points dropped and a real feeling of annoyance at the end of it. Even allowing for a shocking refereeing decision after 18 minutes in which we had taken the lead and were in the ascendancy, we created two outstanding chances which would probably have killed the game. We didn't, but the organisation, discipline and attitude whilst a man down were excellent and huge praise is due to 16 year-old youth keeper Luke Smallwood who performed magnificently in a pressured debut. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you think the sending off was incorrect? I’m not sure either way tbh. I did think Long probably got something on the ball and even if it was a foul, a red seemed overkill from that far out and at that angle. I don’t think anyone would’ve batted an eyelid if he’d given a yellow. Even if you ignore the red card, there was so, so many bad decisions. Especially in the second half. Linesman turning a blind eye to many of them, too. There’s easily half a dozen I could rattle off, but booking Carlo for being pushed by their keeper and ignoring a boot so high it was at forehead height were astonishing.

FifeSons Posted Saturday at 16:35 Author Share Posted Saturday at 16:35 (edited) Some proper Tory country bumpkins in that Annan support. Telling folk off for swearing at a football match because there’s children present and a steward telling someone off for calling the referee a disgrace maybe go watch the rugby instead. Football might not be the sport for you. Edited Saturday at 16:36 by FifeSons 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super-son Posted Saturday at 18:11 Share Posted Saturday at 18:11 (edited) I can’t really grumble about the red card tbh. If you’re coming 35-40 yards out your goal, then you have to make sure you clearly get the ball. Questions need asked about the defending at times too. Clark got caught out about half a dozen times on the left and we were caught sleeping which lead to the red card incident. Apart from the red card the referee and co got progressively worse as the game went on, giving Annan a free kick any time our Strikers challenged for the ball in anyway. Not to mention the high foot challenge on Niang. Thought a lot of our players had quite a bad game today after we were down to 10 men in particular. Niang was poor on the ball and just seemed to be a yard off it for most of the game. Mike Miller was poor for most of the game but done well in the closing stages. Mumbongo was absolutely rotten, he couldn’t get the ball to stick to him and lost possession way too much, even though he did have some harsh fouls ruled against him. Final shoutout to Luke Smallwood, who was fantastic today! I was worried when I seen how young and small he was but he managed everything thrown at him today, was pretty composed and only made one small error in spilling the ball but between him and the defence, they managed to scramble it clear. More than deserved a point today. I’m happy to write this one off due to the red card but it’s becoming a recurring theme that we can’t get these wins over the line and take all 3 points. Onwards and upwards! Edited Saturday at 18:12 by super-son 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WC Boggs Posted Saturday at 18:43 Share Posted Saturday at 18:43 I was hoping you'd get your first win today, but no luck at all. So ok you need to start winning, but when nobody has been able to beat you I like to think surely there's hope a win is imminent. Anyway, good luck sons, I hope you start getting them over the line soon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
