Brentford's Goal

Posted 01 October 2008 - 03:11 PM
The lad has performed a mid-air toe loop triple axle with pike and the ball has skimmed off the top of his head and looped over an unsighted Carson in the far side of the net and on any other day they go high and wide. Although had Crason had someone on his back post it would have been a straight forward clearance away.
This has got me thinking, according to Rochdale fans the lad who scored the free kick in the last minute at their place usually struggles to keep em within the stadium and with Ward's perfectly good goal (which would have made it 2-1 to us) being disallowed for offside are the footballing gods against us?
Extensive research has been carried out and people who genuinely considered themselves unlucky came out worse on a basic 50/50 choice than those who thought themselves lucky.
Perhaps we need to stop bemoaning poor decisions, debateable red cards etc and concentrate on what we can affect and maybe the gods will leave us alone for a while??

end of the day both goals were set pieces and we have to figure out how to defend them. Something that is becoming far to apparent to everyone except Rico

Maybe we just need a luckier manager?

On that basis Richardson is a lucky manager because I cant think of too many clubs in our situation that would tolerate the high spending / poor return ability of Richardson and say or do nothing while fans drift away.
I wish I worked for a boss as undemanding as Hubbard.

A man on the back post would have cleared it
72+ points Play off's
83+ points Party Time

And positive marking at the nearpost would have cut it out!

The decision to have a man on either/both posts is the keepers and his alone.
He might as well have blamed Rico for not standing on the back post himself.
