Stop punching the ball.  You should of headed that yesterday as you could of made it.  You cost us a point.

I'll tell him on Facebook :D

Do it.  Its stupid

It was already offside was it not?

I dunno fella, I just saw the handball that was all

Ah right.

It's not the first time he's done it either.

I know, he will cost us a win at some point as teams will claim he punched it.

If it hadn't have been offside it was deliberate handball = straight red. In fact he could have got a straight red for scything down the Lids player from behind.

That said he was easily our most dangerous forward. Not sure what had happened to Paynter , he just doesn't look like scoring and loks nearly as slow as me.

How many more times?! HANDBALL IS NOT A FUCKING STRAIGHT RED CARD!!! Only if it stops a "clear goalscoring opportunity"

It's a basic rule yet nobody seems to know it

Oooh get her. OK, but a second yellow for unsporting behaviour would have the same net effect, Cox leaving the field of play.

It would have been a yellow though and he'd just been booked.

To be fair to BP, he played most of the second half in midfield.

True enough. I just didn't think he looked mobile in the first half.

I'm not trying to get on his back, just an observation. Hopefully he'll get a goal and look good again.

I agree - he doesn't look fit.

Maybe he's carrying a knock, I suppose with the squad as it is we can't really freshen things up so we're having to struggle on. Corr's clearly not ready to start.

cox was lucky not to get a straight red for that tackle from behind - looked two footed as well...

according to the bloke i was sat next to, paynter doesn't enjoy playing alongside cox as he's never sure where cox will be. billy scored his goals at PV alongside a targetman, not playing as the targetman - in fairness his goal at wickham showed that he works well off a big man.

i don't think he relishes leading the line. cox isn't disciplined enough to stay in one position but you can't fault his workrate

Exactly what I thought.  Thought he was a gonner as expected the ref to give into the pressure of the home fans.

Me too, though my dad said he got the ball.  I'm sure he didn't and would not have been suprised if he'd been shown a red - my immediate thought was 'you stupid twa.t'

even if he got the ball it was from behind - instant red

I'm liking Toms posts where he's getting one over on the swear filter at work.  :D

It's a bit annoying - even if someone else swears in a topic it won't let me post via the quick reply so I have to copy it all into the box once you click through the post reply button.

I have the same problem Tom...

Pain in the backside.. Luckily they are quite stupid here and you can quite easily turn the swear filters off, which is handy.
