It’s handball though, cheating

Correct decision

I don’t agree they are poor owners.
We’ve got the players we need to go up. It’s not their responsibility.

You wait months for some decent officiating at this level…

Supposedly not. Maybe was giving himself time to think. But who knows.

Just out bloody luck mate

I absolutely agree. I said the other day … not playing Chang is some of the worst management of a player I’ve ever seen. I am confident we’d have gained a few points this second half of the season with Chang on the pitch. Asiimwe looks excellent too.

Playing Asimwe on the left worked a treat, some great balls went in.

Oh god don’t get me wrong , it was handled poorly

But somehow they got it right

Did any newport players claim handball, i was too busy watching the walsall ones

Think he took ‘advice’ from the keeper. I’m glad that’s how it works now.

Win against Accrington and I think we go to Crewe knowing a win will win promotion. Thought we played well today and deserved to win but it wasn’t to be.

To a point. I’m not sure why we needed 3 at the back and four centre halves on the pitch against one of the worst teams in the division down to 10 men, at the end. Still had a sub up his sleeve at the point of the red card.

Come on now. It’s a blatant hand ball. If the Lino has seen it and the ref hasn’t that doesn’t make any difference.

People use the piss poor excuse of bad refs whenever we are shit. Can’t be moaning when they get one right.

Yeah, one of theirs was furiously remonstrating with the ref and that’s when he went over to the Lino….

Today has proved beyond doubt that we have flattered to deceive this season. Nathan Lowe’s class papered over the gaping lack of quality elsewhere in the team. We are a 15th-placed team masquerading as a top-3 outfit, which in some ways makes all of this easier to bear! We have massively over-achieved and now we are being found out. We are just average! McEntee (if he’s signed a pre-contract with Hibs then his agent is a snake oil salesman), Gordon, Stirk, Matt, Harrison (why?!!), Jellis etc are poor players. It was there for the taking in January and our recruitment in vital areas was poor. This has all been made worse by Sadler’s mismanagement - why hasn’t he played Chang more, why has he fallen out with our only decent striker who was at the feckin zoo instead of scoring the winner today! Even I now think it’s time for a change!

McEntee may have been unsighted, but looked easier to head it.

I have no issue with the ‘goal’ being disallowed just wish all officials would make the same degree of effort to get contentious decisions right.

They do, we just don’t see replays. One thing I’ve noticed this season by watching more on TV than Live at the ground is that the refs get an awful lot of shit for decisions that are absolutely correct.

Looked like he bottled it to me. Looks away from the ball. Commit and win it.
