Has this been cancelled or something? - can’t see a thread for our next game on Saturday. If there is one please merge.

Anyhoo, it’s a tough one but we’re at home. All of a sudden, they are 2 points off the playoffs and have a game in hand on Huddersfield in 6th so there’s no way they won’t be fired up for this. They’ve been scoring for fun at home this last month, less so away but they have players all over the park that can find the net including Mr Morley, formerly of this parish.

They must be thinking playoffs in which case they need something off us…..but we’re not going to give them anything are we?

Easily done 😀

 

missed today 

and my Box went down on 75 mins 

Got a messege what a WIN 

GET THE FUCK IN

The Mrs has zero interest in football, hates it, but then once every 2-3 years she decides she’ll come to the game with me when the other ticket is spare, bit of people watching and an afternoon off parenting - today was that day.

At half time she asked if we could leave at 85 if it was still 2-0, I stupidly agreed (should have said 90 - she’s now claiming she had no idea there is injury time, she thought there was only 5 mins left).

85 comes up, I begrudgingly leave but can’t see how we’d get back into it anyway seeing as we’d been shit for the whole game (and the other late goals are usually when we’ve been good).

Heard the first as I got in the car, second as we were going round the roundabout and then saw we’d got the 3rd as we got on the motorway. Tense drive home - the conflict in emotions between the high of winning and the low of missing it was mad. I blame @caffers for the ticket going spare.

Main thing is we got the 3 points, kept the run going, closed the gap and once again showed this side is never beaten.

The first half was as bad as we’ve played this season but let’s ignore that.

Drove past forensics walking the M6 northbound a few minutes later after what I’m assuming is a shocker of an accident - motorway closed all day. Put it in perspective about missing a few goals at the match.

Wife’s ruled herself out of ever coming again.

Up the whites.

I’ll read back to page 5 next.

But before I read anything.

That is Bolton Wanderers!!!

Fucking brilliant!! 👏👏

We should also learn that keep the same side, bingo selections, why doesn’t SS do this/that is a dangerous game.

But more importantly that BWFC never know when they are beaten.

And finally if catching a side we’re 8 points behind with a game in hand is unlikely, fantasy stuff.

Then what about being -0-2 down on 88 mins and winning 3-2!! 👏👏

 

And the moral of the story is…

 

Never say die!

Close, but looks in to me.

I’m sure a better angle will appear.

Nah, can’t see the whole of the ball being over. Correct decision for me

Needed the hour's trip back home to make sense of all that, incredible. Another of those 'shithousing bites you on the arse' days. However off it we might be we do have some game changers and they stepped up today.

Was right behind CBT when he shaped to hit it, magnificent goal. Rodriguez looked really decent.

I was pretty much in line in West Upper, appeared to be clear daylight between ball and line. 

No fan at all of VAR and dont want it but goal line tech ought to be possible through the 4 divisions by now 

Look again at the winner.

When cbt drops the defender on his arse, keep your eyes on the defender. He's absolutely shot.

The view from behind the goal shows it, together with the body language from the defender on the other side (left).

Out on their feet.

Nah. 

I’ll get back to page 5 in a minute and catch Up….

But that’s a shit angle.

I’m level with that in ESL and unless my eyes are deceiving me, it’s well over. 

Christ. This team certainly makes sure that you shouldn’t leave before the whistle if you don’t have to

I LOVE BOLTON WANDERERS 🤍

When Rodriguez came on he was biz at first then found his composure, hopefully he will settle nicely into the team

shame the ground looks empty when that winner went in

That’s even better than I thought it was. 
 

We really need to start using the first 80 minutes.

We really do.

That’s the view I got. I’d have been disappointed if it had been given at the other end.

Correct decision for me.

Not a chance. I’m west upper and could see it was clearly over the line - you only need to see the players’ reactions to know just how sure they were. That wasn’t the reaction of players that are trying to pull a fast one, they were genuinely in disbelief that it wasn’t given. I thought our heads would have gone after that (mine had), so fair play to them for managing to put it to the back of their minds and still finding a way.

edit - the other really poor decision was the offside against Kenny in first half stoppage time, directly in front of me and he was on. The analyst then gets the replay on his laptop and goes mental at the liner (which I’m assuming confirmed what I’d seen) and got a yellow card.
