Baj Posted 9 August, 2008 Author Share Posted 9 August, 2008 Gutted, as always. Would like to know exactly what happened, Saints players all arguing with officials at the end on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohio Saint Posted 9 August, 2008 Share Posted 9 August, 2008 We did well, I don't care what anyone says. We could have just as easily got the 3 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinjb Posted 9 August, 2008 Share Posted 9 August, 2008 We gave it a go, where under the cosh but where resilient, made chances and did 'ok.' McGoldrick scoring was crucial. It's a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saints1980 Posted 9 August, 2008 Share Posted 9 August, 2008 Saints players going mental at the ref. Yeah, I saw that on the telly. The referee looked a little scared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1965onwards Posted 9 August, 2008 Share Posted 9 August, 2008 I said yesterday that set-pieces would decide how our season goes. Even with Killer we just can't Defend them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_saints Posted 9 August, 2008 Share Posted 9 August, 2008 Seems we didn't have anywhere near the sort of possession needed for "total football" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwig Posted 9 August, 2008 Share Posted 9 August, 2008 Not too bothered, McGoldrick scored and it's the ref's fault. Sounds promising for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Matty 76 Posted 9 August, 2008 Share Posted 9 August, 2008 Wasn't expecting to get anything here (Negative ), but, after going 1-1 and dominating for spells, I thought we could of won, or at least got a point, well, not the greatest start to the season, but it is more convincing than previous ones.

Ponty Posted 9 August, 2008 Share Posted 9 August, 2008 Killer came through 90 minutes. That could be worth more than the point dropped over the course of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintDonkey Posted 9 August, 2008 Share Posted 9 August, 2008 Saints players really didn't look happy about that goal being given - very curious whether it really crossed the line. Of course if it did we'll have the forum full of fools criticising Kelvin for letting it in - despite the fact that it sounded like we'd have lost by a country mile if not for his saves.

egreog Posted 9 August, 2008 Share Posted 9 August, 2008 Saints players "furious" with officials on SSN..........I don't know why........ they hardly ever win the first game whatever league they are in.........so whats the surprise?? Whinging to officials ain't gonna make any difference........... how about scoring more goals than the opposition....... that might help!!........lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickG Posted 9 August, 2008 Share Posted 9 August, 2008 We have lost convincingly at Cardiff every year since relegation. Hard place for young players to make debut. Cardiff on high after cup final and extra crowds brought in. DMG scored and will be confident Sounds like the best we have done there in 4 years Much better than easier first game last season Disappointing but not the end of the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExSt Peter Saint Posted 9 August, 2008 Share Posted 9 August, 2008 We didn't hold oto the ball enough from what I can work out and were under far too much pressure. Killer and Perry were excellent from all the reports, but we don't want to be relying on just holding on. Not as bad as it could have been, but not very promising either.

Johnny Shearer Posted 9 August, 2008 Share Posted 9 August, 2008 That's it, Lose so blame the ref. Saints site says that there there was a bit of a debate about whether the ball crossing the line or not. In fairness, I'm glad they had a go at the ref as when was the last time we did that as a team? Instead of just accepting it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toomer Posted 9 August, 2008 Share Posted 9 August, 2008 Be interesting to see what the players kicked off for at the whistle, I think we need someone with a bit more about them in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Posted 9 August, 2008 Share Posted 9 August, 2008 By the sounds of it they were all over us for much of the game. Sitting back and defending never works, especially when we don't have possesion. Only hope we can improve before the Brummies come to town. Sounds like a good effort though. Losing in the last minute, whilst gutting, is a lot better than what could have happened. Nice to hear Killer lasting the whole game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpine_saint Posted 9 August, 2008 Share Posted 9 August, 2008 Yep, 45 more games to go, eh lads ? This goal was inevitable. We gave Cardiff 64% of the possession, FFS ! The team is simply not strong enough. They held on valliantly for 99% of the game, but this story is going to repeat itself throughout the season as the opposing team wear down and unlock the weaknesses in the team.

KingsSomborneSaint Posted 9 August, 2008 Share Posted 9 August, 2008 Gutted I second that. On a positive side though, brilliant for Killer to get 90 minutes and play well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohio Saint Posted 9 August, 2008 Share Posted 9 August, 2008 This defeat can be a positive. The kids saw that they could have won if they concentrate. They also see what happens if you don't give 100% all the time. I am hopeful for this season after this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint lard Posted 9 August, 2008 Share Posted 9 August, 2008 i'm not as disapointed as i was this time last season,losing to palace 4-1 at home coupled with a shi7e display was truly gutting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombletomble Posted 9 August, 2008 Share Posted 9 August, 2008 Could have been worse. Sounded like we played well at times. So frustrating to go down right at the end. Better than last years 4-1 though. If we let if half the number of goals from last season this year I'm sure we will do fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted 9 August, 2008 Share Posted 9 August, 2008 Unfortunately the STATS tell the story Possession C 68% S 32% Shots on target C 7 S5 Shots off target C7 S2 Corners C8 S5 Probably a fair result I think it is the Lack of Height which is going to be our downfall this season and I know it is only the First Game and away from Home but we are going to struggle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano6 Posted 9 August, 2008 Share Posted 9 August, 2008 According to radio hampshire we were the better side but not to sky reporters it seems That's because the former is biased while the latter isn't. Radio Cardiff also said Cardiff were the better team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washsaint Posted 9 August, 2008 Share Posted 9 August, 2008 By all accounts, the ball was not over the line. I can't believe that some of you almost want us to fail.......despite aythiogn that you might post it certainly seems that way. Unbelievable! Why not actually wait and see what folks who were at the game think of our performance? To be robbed of a point at Cardiff is galling. Losing 2-1 is no disgrace......it will take time for the team to get used to playing CCC football and they need our support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpine_saint Posted 9 August, 2008 Share Posted 9 August, 2008 Two good points from this game: Killer got another 90mins without injury. Let's hope there is no reaction in the week. The kids started their steep learning curve about the realities of competitive football. This was a good result, almost a fantastic one against one of the uglier teams in the division, but it has underlined the struggle we will have this season.

Nolan Posted 9 August, 2008 Share Posted 9 August, 2008 the Solent comentators actually thought the 2nd goal had been cleared off the line and were surprised the Ref had given it/ they were also saying how we were Equal to Cardiff and deserved the point...
