[Brighton Sky Blue]

Their style is awkward tbf, especially when you've got a useless twat tooting his whistle every time they fall over.

They've managed to become more dislikeable with that twat Morris up front

Oh and rudoni looked like he was fouled in the box before the ref blew up

It was after whistle

 

[SBT]

1/14 successful crosses in the first half, give me strength

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

EMC good. Poor defending for the penalty. BTA and Rudi need to give us more ….

Some dodgy free kicks for them too
Can’t quite work out how the derby player managed to get the ref to blow at the end of the half dragging Kitching around the box and then down on to him and then stayed down
Cheat

It's the rules, the ball was in their box when he stopped play. Regardless who's in possession, it's a drop ball to the keeper.

Yeah, he waited to stop the game as soon as the ball got to the box. Plenty of time to stop it when we had the ball.

It wasn't even a head injury also.

Maybe that's the best way to defend? Just go down holding your head when they get near the box. Instantly get possession.

The Josh Eccles corner ratio

 

[Liquid Gold]

So much for an easy start then, same every year

 

[mark82]

It’s pointless and hit so close to him you rarely get a handball for it

Only because he ran towards it with his arms up. Would agree if they were by his side, but he made himself bigger.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I mean the ref could have stopped the game about 30 seconds before when he was on the floor when it was outside the box and we would keep the ball. He waits until we get into the box and stops the game.

Yes because he had been down for 30 seconds which is why he stopped the game. The fact that is hard to comprehend is quite concerning.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

He didn’t know it was fake, so he has to blow up. The rules of football

Nah

Derby can't keep the ball. We will win comfortably. 2-4, as long as Rapha comes on.

Nice to see it wasn't just contained to robins.

 

[procdoc]

We have played well enough to be winning. Referee dreadful

 

[covcity4life]

We're doing alright but frustrating goals to concede.

I'd keep it same till 60th minute.

Has the game finished? I’m here and thought it was just half time

 

[PVA]

Looked alright going forwards, dodgy as fuck at the back though. Usual story

 

[Skybluecol]

2 very silly corners have resulted in Derby attacking us and one of those attacks led to a goal for them. Learn the lesson.
We're playing well going forward but struggling at the back when they close quickly
We were told this keeper was a step up.... recent showings says different but it's too early to write off yet

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Bring Simms or Saka in for BTA

That’s what’s frustrating

Yeah so he should have stopped it much sooner if it's an urgent "head injury".

 

[Ccfcisparks]

What has the referee done wrong?

He's called all the big decisions right in my opinion.

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Story of bobbys career, can score in the opposition box but when it comes to defending he’s a liability

 

[AJB1983]

This will be the new ‘keeper going down tactic’ - guarantee it.

Could have possibly done better for the first

 

[duffer]

This ref has completely lost the plot. The free kick that led to the pen was shoulder to shoulder, no foul.

We were in possession when he stopped the game for the fucking bullshit head injury. So that ball should go back to us.

That head injury rule desperately needs to be clarified. If the player is unconscious, stop the game, it's a genuine risk. Otherwise play on.

Additionally, anytime the play is stopped for an alleged head injury the player should be properly assessed for concussion by an independent doctor. That would stop a lot of the embarrassing poncing about by cheating fuckers trying to kill the game.

 

[bigfatronssba]

We look ok, just need to cut out the stupid errors

 

[Danceswithhorses]

Bring Simms or Saka in for BTA

saka is not on the bench

 

[CovValleyBoy]

we have a proper keeper or do we ???
How do you score a free kick from there Carl ?

PS. Please take BTA off.

 

[procdoc]

Bring Simms or Saka in for BTA

Saka ain’t in the squad mate

 

[mark82]

Yes because he had been down for 30 seconds which is why he stopped the game. The fact that is hard to comprehend is quite concerning.

If he's allowed 32 seconds we'd have had a penalty. Just frustrating.

 

[Nantwich Skyblues]

Wasn't a foul by emc before their first ,mind rushworth should have stopped it .. he has been a bit underwhelming

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

They've managed to become more dislikeable with that twat Morris up front

He may be unlikeable but he’s far more effective than BTA.

 

[procdoc]

He’s been wank

 

[Nick]

Inconsistent.

He watches their player unchallenged block a cross with his hand and does nothing.

He then gives a pen for a defender being pushed in the air and putting his arms up.

Sanderson should have been on a booking at least.

 

[ccfc922]

Guaranteed that handball for their pen isn't given in their box.

Not sure who gave it, ref or lino? Ref didn't originally?
