But I've seen us denied so many sure fire penalties that it's good to get one that is perhaps less certain. By the time of the Sodje incident, the referee realised that he had made a complete mess of things and wanted to avoid any further source of aggravation. Which doesn't make it right.Wyn Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17473299774041779419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329889984642264422.post-28543263162996491112009-12-21T16:15:41.050+00:002009-12-21T16:15:41.050+00:00Wyn,

Though I have to say, I thought the first penalty he gave was a little harsh as I thought the Millwall player may have got the ball as well as Mooney - perhaps the award was given for a tackle from behind....<br />Behind Enemy LinesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329889984642264422.post-42318369177344675462009-12-21T16:03:33.539+00:002009-12-21T16:03:33.539+00:00Also they scored following a free kick where the b...Also they scored following a free kick where the ball was still rolling yet he pulled one of ours back saying it was rolling and wasn't, Ithink Bruton on that occassion was through one on one with their keeper,lesberrydbpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329889984642264422.post-85235943230276686222009-12-21T14:46:06.631+00:002009-12-21T14:46:06.631+00:00I've just learnt that apparently he was the &#...I've just learnt that apparently he was the 'beachball' ref.

The view around me was that it was a clear penalty, but the referee wouldn't have the bottle to give a third one in front of the Spanners plus sending off the keeper. For the referee, being fussy about minor details was a substitute for applying the laws of the game.Wyn Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17473299774041779419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329889984642264422.post-81995606409178408262009-12-21T14:24:37.825+00:002009-12-21T14:24:37.825+00:00Referee M Jones was a farce.

When Sodje S was hauled down by 'wall's goalie Jones had his easiest decision to make and he chose no to. Charlton certainly should have defended corners and free kicks with better application, however bad the decisions had been leading up but a referee willfully ignoring th rules of the game certainly changed the outcome of the match and that is intolerable.Sciurus Carolinensis Nemesisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329889984642264422.post-28397532582876002552009-12-21T08:57:18.083+00:002009-12-21T08:57:18.083+00:00Wyn,

Millwal exploited it well, Bristol and Southend tried to. Sam seemed out of sorts and I saw the physio go straight to him at half time, was he carrying an injury? Omozusi is developing and showed some nice touches and composure. At times Wagstaff and Basey looked like they had got carrried away with the occasion, Wagstaff mis-timing tackles and commiting himself too early, Basey needing more support for those around him. I think they will both be ok against the lesser teams in the division, but roll on the return of Youga. If Sam is out next game, Mckenzie on the left and wagstaff on the right isn't a bad prospect, Mckenzie looked up for it, and had some pace and nice touches.<br />Couldn't work out if Mooney was annoyed at the bench for coming taking him off or with picking up a knock, throwing his shirt on floor didn't look good. His intelligent runs creating our two penalties.
