Right, if the corner hadn't been taken it couldn't have been a foul. The ball would not have been in play, a requirement for a foul. If that had been the case the red card would have been awarded for misconduct with the start of play an indirect free kick where the offense took place. All that said, who gives a fuck, the Tranmere player tried to hurt Charlie.
Sorry, but that's wrong. If the ball isn't in play, no free kick can be given, at all. Free kicks can only be given during active play, not at dead ball situations. Red card would stand, but the restart would be the same restart as before, in this case a corner. But, the lino did the crafty thing and waited till the ball was kicked before flagging pretty much assuring the penalty - and who said referees wern't cheats... Boring game, and Nouble needs some new boots. Some black ones would be nice, otherwise he's this seasons Macklin. |

I think today was a case of saving ourselves for Saturday. It was always going to be a stroll in the park and at half-time DW probably told them to slow down the tempo, to prevent any injuries

"Impressive all season, Swindon are peaking at just the right time"
I enjoyed this quote from the football league show summariser of our game. Seems only now one or two people are recognising that we've been there or thereabouts all season long.

Surely Macklin is this season's Macklin? |

To be fair, they're usually the only people to give us a mention. Claridge did at least get the opportunity to get hot and bothered over Austin though  |

Lizzie to the rescue - she was at the game and raised the point that they had been talking about Austin before the show - Claridge likened Austin to Philips and tipped him for England...

Yes, correct, the restart would have been a corner. I also think the lino was crafty, the Tranmere player would have wanted to have whacked Charlie while the ball was out of play. Also, who wants to give a red card for an offence in the box then restart with a corner, except Andy fucking Hall. |

They didn't catch the incident (or at least they didn't show it) on the highlights. But they did show all the Swindon players walking away after the linesman had flagged as though it was against them - nothing from any of them to suggest something had happened. Very strange.

Piss easy game for the lads today. The stroll in the park attitude on the pitch against shite opposition transferred to the terraces, and the atmos was understanderbly muted.
I dont think anyone was under any illusion that we had a few more gears to shift up to if we ever found ourselves under any kind of pressure today though, and the players seemed happy enough with the applause and respect when the subs were made and after the game.
The real pressure test starts next Saturday at Colchester. Regardless of that result or how we do during the run in though, I believe we have big enough bollocks to cope with a must-win match at Milwall on the last day.
Cant fucking wait to make the trip to the New Den to watch our lads tear them a new arsehole.

Not much to say about this game, & what there is to say has been well & truly covered here, ie we started the game in the ideal manner, good things came our way - o/g, red card, pen, game was over, we just conserved energy & made sure of the win, no oppo to speak of, was just a case of run the clock down to 16:50-odd.
The perfect scenario, today could've been nervy & ultimately frustrating. An entertaining end-to-end ding-dong is nowhere near the top of my list. Points points and more points please.
Shook hands and exchanged pleasantries with the great Don Rogers afterwards - he was buzzing. Also chatted with John Salako for a little while - he was very honest, he was at pains to say how impressed he was with us but he seemed pretty convinced that we would miss out, and described Millwall & Leeds as "stronger". I told him that I was "perfectly happy for you media people to carry on ignoring us". Sky had got him a personal driver, he jumped in the back of a big BMW like Lord Posh-Bollocks.

Based on yesterdays game, purely due to the circumstances of being 2-0 up and on cruise control, you can see where he is coming from. Carry on media (ooooh maaatron). Almost afraid to mention it, but has anyone looked at our goals against since Franchise? |
