4-5-1 Doesn't work Look at the difference between the first half and the second. Someone get the manager to give our illustrious captain a few weeks off!

What was everyones view of the penalty from my vantage point it looked like it was just a shoulder challenge and Herd delibrately dived on a few other occasions.
2nd goal was a confidence goal and wouldn't have happened if they hadn't got the penalty.
The Donnelly one was definate handball.

Alot of people I spoke to at the game said he dived, my honest first impression was that bally shouldn't have gone for it - he was just asking to be fouled

I hate people who cheat by diving. If I played against someone like him after he done it I would put him in the stand. In fact if I was the Manager of a player doing that I would drop him no matter how good or bad he was. I hate cheats.
The Rose fans near me were saying about the fouling and that should play the game. Playing the game - fouling is part of it. Diving shouldn't be.

Totally agree about the tactics I feel that we gave them far to much respect at times in the first half,Although to be fair we derserved a goal at least,The second half improvement came because we played to our strengths going forward.If we had scored one I think we could have taken it to extra time.The penalty decision was due to the asssistant bottling out of doing his job.The second goal was a great strike but you ask yourself if this would have happened without the penalty.I cannot believe all 22 remained on the pitch (Particularly Lithgae in the second half.)as persistant fouling was the order of the day.

The game would have went to penalties no extra time. But I don't think the 2nd would have went in as it was a confidence goal.

Don't know what game Alan was at but Donnelly's save on the line hit his chest. As for his Diving shouts, keep the chin up !
