Penwortham Blue

It isn’t blue & white specs, just a clear red card, irrespective of the relative speeds of Morishita and Davis. Had it been Miller on Hirst or Akpon, it would still be the most blatant red card. Your very valid point that the red card incident didn’t prevent us from seeing the game out, I couldn’t agree more.

I don’t have anyone on ignore, everyone entitled to an opinion. You have a well versed opinion on Tronstad and now Miller, your perogative. My issue was with you arguing with Arbitro, a first class referee for many years and probably, the most respected person on the Board as to whether the official got it wrong on the red card call. From my vantage point in the JWL, I was 100% certain it was a red card but I haven’t seen it on the TV. If Arbitro had posted today that it wasn’t and their was a good case for the referee making his decision, I would be happy to accept it basis his fairness, professional credentials and long first hand experience.

For balance, like Arbitro, I didn’t think the Yuki incident was a penalty. From my seat, I thought it was a foul but outside the box.

In the JWL, bang in line with it. No doubt in anyone’s mind with that view point that it was a clear red card.

Bloody hell, Tronstad is hopeless and Miller even worse. Now you’re arguing with a fair minded Board member who has refereed at the highest level. What’s the view like from up there 🤷‍♂️

No manger will ever say their player deserved a red, unless it was reckless challenge endangering a player and even then, rarely. Smug Kieran knows it was a red as did everyone else in the ground.

Miller is playing pretty well but in truth, the QPR goal and yesterday’s late goal both came from him conceding possession very cheaply, when under no real pressure.

I think you meant to say Leif Davis isn’t getting back !

The loss of home fans is everything about Venkys and the way this club has been systematically downgraded and dismantled, both on and off the field. However, your absolutely right, the home record and season upon season of conceding late, late goals and never coming from behind to win matches is another major factor for the sparse crowds and funereal atmosphere at Ewood.

Sadly, that tells a story. I wonder how many last minute winners we have conceded during the intervening period, a lot is my recollection🙈

Good spot, 2/3 foot and and now amended.

As soon as the foul was made and the referee blew, I thought it was a red and I was right in line with it. The Ipswich manager has all but conceded that it was a red and everyone I know who had the benefit of TV, said it was a clear and obvious red card. Morishita was 2/3 foot clear of both defenders, albeit a distance from goal, not really sure how you think there was plenty of time for Davies to cover.

Thought we really put a shift in last night, the few of us who turned up provided as much vocal support as possible and the players responded with a decent performance. It would have been a thoroughly deserved three points and letting it slip again at the death, just 3 days after the same fate at Wrexham, was heartbreaking. As we all know, our football club has shipped many late goals and scored very few and it is a habit that has persisted over a lot of managers and like the failure to come back from behind, it seems to now be baked into a very unwanted DNA. The referee was atrocious and got all the big decisions wrong and on that score, we just never seem to get a break. Saturday’s match is now pivotal, if we can’t win that, I really do fear that could be the last straw for the team’s confidence.

So terribly sad, losing a loved one in such tragic circumstances. Condolences to you and all your famiy, Carl. RIP, Luke.

Good spot, given the depressing way the match ended, think we had all probably overlooked this.

Forshaw played well today, he should have be in against QPR, Hickman and Montgomery was never going to be enough to compensate for the loss of Tronstrad.

I love Yuki's work ethic but his finishing this season has been absolutely woeful. He has missed countless good chances, generally when he has time to think, his only goals have been first time reaction efforts and the deflection at Hull. We might have got lucky with Gudjonsson though, he's scoring goals and missing chances but is always getting in the right areas.

What an unforgiving league this is. I think most of us would have taken a point before kick off but to concede so late, again, is a real hammer blow. Being more clinical with our chances, we could so easily have picked up 5 extra points this week and be going into the Ipswich game in hand, with thoughts of really pushing on to catch the behemoths of Millwall, Knob End and Hull. As it is, we could now be soon slipping back into the bottom three. Unless we can turn around the Ewood form, we are facing a real relegation battle.

Spot on, yet again.

Yep, Robinho and Aidan McGeady putting it in the Darwen End net.

Didn’t go today, just relaying what the Radio Lancs lot reported. We would have taken a point before the match but so disappointing to concede at the death.

Absolutely gutted by that late equaliser. I didn’t see us getting anything at all before the match but to concede so late was heartbreaking. According to Bayes / Gallagher, was never a free kick and the lad who eventually put it in the net was offside. Conceding a lot of very late goals and scoring very few ourselves has been an Achilles heal for many years. Love Yuki’s work ethic but his finishing has been really poor so far this season.

The Knobbers and Notlob business model to successfully increase crowds and atmosphere, constantly pointed out to the stooges at Ewood. Sadly, they have no idea how to run a business and have no interest beyond the headline ST revenue collected.

Sadly, I agree. Despite the tremendous away results so far, I just can’t see us getting anything today from Hollywood FC.

Nailed it.
