Back from the game - Yeovil

Just arrived back at my temporary home from the game - pheewwwwwwwww!

 

First half, for the opening 30 minutes was all Saints, just no end product.

Yeovil came into it for the last 15 minutes and were very unfortunate not to go 1 up at the break. Once again, the right side looked very shaky with Otsemobor having a poor game by his standards. Once his main attribute pace is matched equally by the winger he's facing, he's always going to struggle. Puncheon looked lively, and Lallana stumbled when one-on-one, but tried a scorpion kick to get it in.

 

Second half Saints again started strongly with some good chances but faded somewhat as Yeovil then looked more likely to break the deadlock.

I did not see Schneiderlin's offence, but those around me suggested he raised his hands?

Very strange to see Waigo at right back/wing back, his first cross almost went out the ground, his third however... brilliant.

Connolly coming on really gave the forward line some spark, allowing Lambert to float behind.

 

The away support was fantastic from where I was sat close to the halfway line.

Post match there is still lots of police around, with panda cars parked in all the local streets post match (Sat in a house 2 mins from the Arrow).

There were a few away fans in with the home support that momentarily forgot who they were supposed to be supporting... :)

 

Yeovil did deserve a point no question, but the knack of a good side is taking three.

 

Home fans perspective, should Fonte have gone?

My opinion is No. There was a defender level with him when he committed the offence...

Interesting stuff, can someone explain to me what happened with Schneiderlin?! I've been out all afternoon...

The commentators said straight away they thought it was a red, very poor challenge from the sounds of it. Also Sky sad a bad tackle.There was some pushing & shoving afterwards but think he got a straight red for the tackle. That' how it sounded. Guess some more at the game will lets us know for sure later on.

Is that one or 3 games ?

If its a straight red for violent conduct (bad tackle) I think its a 3 game Alps but not 100% sure?

 

Reckon you are right - I think it is only 1 game for 2nd yellow.

 

I seem to recall against MK Dons we were going to lose Morgan for 4 games due to previous misdemeanours, until it was reversed. I am wondering if today was his swansong for Saints. Would be a sad day and way to go out if true.

Yes your right just been reading that, you add another game for previous red cards so it looks like 4, but as it was overturned then he might get away with 3. lets hope so.

what previous misdemeanours?

 

He'll get 3 matches for this one because the other one was overturned and apparently converted to a yellow.

He was going to get 4 match ban for that one before it was overturned, so I reckon its 4 again.

 

Isn't there an amnesty at some point of the season where bookings received before a certain date are wiped from the records ?

he was going to get a 3 match ban, I don't know where you all get this 4 match idea from. A straight red is 3 matches,an appeal considered to be "abusive" often adds one to that.

 

According to the OS, he got a red in a cup match.

 

Second red of the season, additional match ban.

but the red card against MK Dons was overturned on appeal and converted into a simple yellow card (or so I'm assured) So Morgan served a 1 match ban for a card that no longer existed.

I forgot he served a match ban before the overturn.

 

You sure the FA will credit him that ?

Hmmmmm, ok then. Guess every player does a particularly bad tackle or two at least in their career.

Brilliant game, didn’t deserve all three points, but I’m not complaining..

Was sitting in the Yeovil stand in line with Fonte when he made the tackle, should have been a straight red, hat of to Pardew, he really did pull it out the bag, love'd the 'ssh' sign he gave to Shiverton.

Agree with the above and more.:)

 

 

Just arrived back after a really good day...eventually...

Met Cliff Huxford before and after the game for a good old natter all things Saints....Like us all , he was so chuffed for Saints..

 

Sat with my daughter in block B of the community stand to the left of a group of about 6/7 male Saints supportersin mainly white shirts.....This group of big lads stood up and cheered for Saints goal....My daughter and I were not close enough to join in as we were surrounded by a group of Yeovil big boyzz......But the feeling was just great..

 

The Saints support behind the goal and in the far corner stand was great..But like most of us at times very subdued..particularly when Spiderman got his marching orders for a recless challenge...

 

Yeovil should have scored with at least two opportunities in the first half in front of Saints support. Kelvin also made a wonder save to put one round for a corner..

 

Lallana was unlucky after a breakaway when not being able to get himself round the ball and his eventual effort over the goalie was cleared away..

 

Antonio was having no luck down the right and lacks a little control, experience, subtlety etc etc.....Much better as an impact sub.

 

Ots was speedy in recovery but lacked a lot of good decision making and strength/determination at the right time.

Harding worked very hard throughout as did Fonte and Seaborne.....Ref allowed a lot of niggly fouls/challenges on these two and others to go without

a second glance.

 

Midfield of Hammond and Spiderman were working hard but quite often got caught up /square and out of position...Not a good day for our engine room.

 

Pucheon and Lallan worked very hard and were a constant threat..Both high class players who cause so much concern for the opposition......They need the striker..Barnard up alongside Lambert for the ball to feet and or the through ball.

 

Lambert worked very hard and although constantly fouled by two one in front one behind....bump and push manouvre before he went for every ball...Ref looking the other way...

 

Barnard and Papa.....AND Connolly.........Great move and with Barnards work rate and Connolly guile and experience...different ball game....Luvved it.

 

Papa first touch behind the goal and ball landing in Weymouth.....Unpredictable....Yes..then World class touch....The crowd and the players not always sure what he will do.:rolleyes:

 

Pards......is the man...Wilko sent to the stand for berating the fourth official who funnily enough had had far worse fro Yeovil Manager and Coach throughout the game..

 

Yes whatever anyone thinks Pards IS THE MAN...well done old boy...:prayer:

 

 

Must add....Credit to Yeovil who worked hard and fought for every ball..As stated..they had chances but Saints were still the far better side..

 

COYRs..

it will be 3 games suspension.

 

1st red vs mk dons was overturned - would have got 3 game suspension then. HOWEVER if appeal failed then it would have upgraded to 4 matches.

 

Technichally today is his 1st red so still 3 games out. could appeal but it will likely increase to 4 games.

 

Im guessing that's where people are getting confused with the amount of games suspended as 4 was mentioned earlier in the season.

 

Obviously if it wasn't rescinded he would be on 4 games now no question.

On the train back to Reading, the joy of a 93rd min goal is better than sex. Had resigned myself to a point, but with 4 strikers out of 10 we had to score. Few good pubs and the locals were a good bunch ! Top day out !!!

 

I would suggest your doing it wrong then;) Although in fairness I was jumping around my garage like a demented monkey while screaming at the radio when we scored god knows what the neighbours must have thought.

I was sat in the Cowlin, and the incident happened on the far touchline.

From where I was sat it definitely looked as though another defender was nearby, however the trajectory of my view (right on the front row) didn't help!

He could have miles away in reality!

 

Did see the animated discussion though post incident, it appeared that someone was sent from the touchline possibly Wilkins?

 

Local radio really lambasted the referee's performance, stating the Fonte challenge and also the missed penalty decision?

I don't remember it (and that is an honest answer!)

I think they had a shout for a handball around 80 odd minutes

According to the Yeovil fan sat a couple of seats down, he spoke to a copper whom reportedly said "we're expecting trouble from this lot if Yeovil win this late..."

 

Before the game, it was very friendly banter outside the Arrow as we walked to the ground, as a large number of fans were there sat on the grassy areas outside and around it.

No signs whatsoever of any trouble or disorder.

Was also sat in the Cowlin, the hand ball incident could have gone either way, Morgan is a lucky boy that we won the match, stupid tackle and hand bags.

Ha ha.I know what you mean.

My wife and i were sat in our garden listening to the radio with a few bottles of wine and when we scored,we both started shouting "Come on you reds" and began dancing around waving our arms and acting like loons.

I think our neighbours will be signing a petition soon to get us removed.

Anyway we won today so who cares!!

Just back aswell nice to get the last minute winner and christ was Bernard happy.. What a nice day as we were stood in the sunny Copse Road end if l shut my eyes l could have been back home in Thailand... Oh yes there number 10 Tomlin could have put them one up in the first half...Did not see much of Schneeiderlin sending off as l could not see it but the guy to the side of me said he went in with his elbow and had to go... What a nice friendley lot those at Yeovil were too had flyers up in the toilet welcoming us and wishing us a safe journey. This is the frist time l have been to the football and never felt ripped off £15 for Adult and l think a £5 for kids £1.50 to park. A burger and coke at the ground £3. Cheapest day l had at a football match. COYR

Outstanding excitement at the end. One of those results you will remember. I felt it was going to be a smash and grab result as the second half went on, despite Yeovil coming at us and causing us many problems. We played some good stuff in the first half and really we deserved to be well ahead by then.

Well done Alan Pardew for the very positive and brave subs. His decisions won us the game - and for generating a first class team spirit.

Really? surely a game we've lost would be the worst. Winning in injury time despite being down to 10 men has surely got to make it better than either Swindon match or the awful game aganst Brighton at home? Of course you may have only seen the 5-something games in which case this game would be rubbish.

Until the 93rd minutes is was as bad as Wycombe away.

 

Was sat in Cowlin in seat 2 and so couldn't even see our terraced away fans as I was next to the side of the stand. Really disappointed that we couldn't hear them very much either.

 

Great that the car park was only £2, not so good that we didn't get out of the car park until 17.55!!!

Should have stood with them then! ;)

 

TBF though the atmosphere was pretty poor and it p!sses me off no end that people cannot stay in time even to the simplest of f*cking songs. And also one bloke in the first half, stood in the right hand side aisle was a complete ****. Constantly singing songs about Pompey and then got the words to OWTS wrong. Tw*t.

I have to admit to laughing at the PORK PORK PORK brigade today. That little weird steward had a massive coat and the predicted "your coats too big for you" started, then he came back in a high vis vest and then they started the "your vests too big for you" They are annoying but that did make me LOL
