MATCHWATCH : Plymouth Argyle (a)

[tidus_mi2]

Jesus, was not expecting this! Need to really take advantage, could end up with a big scoreline today.

[Snowflake Royal]

Wasn`t handball, i reckon it was a foul. 2-0

He was holding Williams the entire time the ball was bouncing around in the box, and pulled him back when the ball dropped in front of him to tuck away.

3-0


oxf*rd smashing it.

[Snowflake Royal]

Great assist from Marriott.

I think this is the most up for it I've seen us in ages. We smell blood.

Hopefully not a return favour to Plymouth of that game.

[Sutekh]

[bcubed]

Should have been 4!

[WestYorksRoyal]

This could get a bit awkward for me. In-laws family all from Plymouth and big supporters. Maybe 3-0 is fine.

[Sutekh]

Hoping they can really have a go at Sorinola after his booking in 10 mins or so.

Unusual to go 3 up after a sending off, things usually get very dour and nervous for the side with 11!

[LUX]

We are in the top half of the table. 7 points off the play offs.

::booking my hotel near Wembley as I type::

See you at the Bree Louise.

( equally probable).

[Snowflake Royal]

What a difference basically knowing you almost can’t lose makes.

Popping it around delightfully for a while there.

Silly boy Yids. Lot of cards already, 4 before the half hour mark!

[WestYorksRoyal]

Not sure what the red card was for. If it hit him it surely wasnt deliberate but

Oh well

If a goal is stopped by a hand on the line, does it matter whether it's deliberate or not?

[Snowflake Royal]

We do still need to defend chaps.

[Sutekh]

This is going to take a bit of discipline, need to not get cocky and give stupid things away.

Dunno but it wasnt handball
It was their player dragging ours to the floor

Red card? Seemed harsh

Btw Sky has taken 35 minutes to reach this conclusion. Snowflake concluded the same a few minutes later!

That little alarm bell when the cross came in to the unmarked man has been a handy wake up call

Literally written into the rules that, yes, it does matter.

[windermereROYAL]

Number one rule, do not concede before HT

Ralls got sent off against us for Cardiff a while back too.

Ralls really subtly grabbed Randell’s shirt and pulled him over from behind

Even an official of the current league standards couldn’t miss it.

Got get to half time with no “accidents” now

Was pretty clear from the in play let alone highlights, I thought.

Only two factors on whether the Red was right, imo.

1) there was a defender on the line, but, Williams is still getting a clear shot on goal with no foul
2) Ralls threw his leg out towards the ball as he fell over pulling Williams with him. But it was blindside of the ref, and certainly not a real attempt to play the ball.

Not to say it would be surprising to see a ref bottle giving a red that early when they're already awarding a penalty. But I think he's got almost everything right.

Potential errors.... Missed a yellow on their 11, bringing Wing down, but forgivable. And I fancy O'Connor did foul Loraj when the ref waved it away, but it was soft and I didn’t have a good view. Missed a corner for us, but that's small potatoes

They also couldn’tve missed it was Derrick.
