McGivern didn't look to make any contact at first look with the striker who fell over his own feet well inside the box.

If he clipped him it was outside the box but it looks like he tripped over his own foot in the box

Looked like he realised he wasn’t getting to the ball so fell over

[Batch]

fucking hell, seen the replay. that's bollocks. he's tripped himself up

[Peter Venkman]

Watched it 3 times and I see no contact from McGivern on the runner who dives inside the box.

Definately inside the box mate but there was no contact, McGivern was too far away to connect.

Exactly how many pens have we conceded this season?

I watched it a few time, it looked like McGivern’s leg brushed (and I mean brushed) the striker’s leg outside the box but he carried on and tripped himself up inside the box.

Either way, it’s not a penalty.

Rose wound the Townend up after scoring as well.

RCC has done ok, his kicking is still not great but better than Moores was last week, he still won't come out for crosses.

Knoyle looks good when we attack down the right and defensively hes doing ok but Grimsby are not attacking us down that flank.

Hussey is defending better but his crossing is terrible today.

McGivern looks ok in the air not so on the floor, Romanski is doing ok and doesn't look out of place and isn't overawed by the match.

Dunne is doing ok, his long passing poor but he is winnign a few tackles and his short passing is ok.

Taylor looks more threating on the left than through the middle where he is innefectual.

Anderson is running around a lot, getting kicked a lot but his final ball is terrible.

Mullin is putting in a lot of effort but not getting into the right positions when the ball comes in, hes doing ok.

Richards is putting himself about more than his last few games and could have got a couple if he connected better.

Linganzi is probably my MoM so far, winnign headers, passing well and tackling, his shooting is not great but hes our best midfielder for me so far, he lost the ball in their half for the penalty but he has done quite well for me.

Grimsby are poor and offered no threat at all and were given a goal by the ref.

Poor home attendance today too.

Its definately never a penalty but that screenshot is before McGivern could get near the snipered striker so any leg brush must have happened inside the box, not that there was any, he fell over his own feet and should be embarressed he conned the ref. Fair play that he got away with it but thats a shocking dive.
