just got back

[jamesmut2000]

I can confirm that kettle is the worst referee to walk the planet - ably assisted by his two linesman who were also woeful.

kettle was that bad that he upset both sets of supporters with a shedload of awful decisions - i hope like hell there was an assesor there watching today.

great goal from leon - with a great assist from Harrold. we dropped so deep in the second half it was painful but i dont remember any real saves that collis had to make - anything on target was comfortable for him.

 

[ian_the_girth]

the girth only had 1-0 leon clarke @ 40/1 !

Must have been a nail biting second half, were we well supported there James?

Doesnt matter we got 3 points and probably deserved more from Brighton Leeds and Orient.

Tilly IN!

How much did you put on that?

:D :D :D

 

[jamesmut2000]

must have been 3-400 or so. made a lot of noise - abused ricketts and hughes as you would expect - and walked out with a silly grin!!!!

 

[ian_the_girth]

How much did you put on that?

:D :D :D

only £2.00. so £82.00 return. ;)

makes up for that brighton 2-1 bailey last goal @ 100/1...which we lost with 8 mins to go 3-2. :mad:

 

[Jay_Shrimper]

Not bad going for £2 really! I'd have stuck a £10 on it, if old enough!

Congrats though!

[BLUEBLOOD]

well done i t g :)

Can you let me know the next lottery numbers please :D

 

[Ricey]

Everytime I bet on Southend it never goes well so I gave up on that. Mind you my football betting full stop is shocking.

Match report completed & PM'd to Matt the Shrimp for uploading onto the main site! I'd say 400 Shrimpers is an over-estimate, no more than 300 I reckon.

 

[Wimbledonshrimper]

Just got back too
- agree worst ref in years - but what a team performance
- actually painful to watch us hang on nail biting,but they never really looked like scoring despite their5% possession
- I too won £300 today with a tenner e/w on Leon at 9/1 and a hefty wager on us outright at 5/2. betting on your own team has to be done. We have more of a clue on how our team are playing than a bunch of odds compilers simply looking at stats and histories. What's more I've been quietly snapping up 33/1 on us winning the league and more likely due to Leeds promotion at 7/1

According to BBC Essex about 300 of you die hards - well done.

With slightly different view on Mr Kettle, I guess that refs are required to be consistent, which in fairness, sounds like he was, consistently crap to both sides.:fury:

 

[MK Shrimper]

His stats from Soccerbase are quite incredible, seeing as he's only ref'd 6 games this season:

24 yellows, and 2 reds.

And (I believe) both of those reds are ours. MacCormack and now Richards.

Thats correct!

We had the same ref for bOrient who we had yesterday.

Must have something about us?

And he sent Maher and Gower off against Col Ewe last season.

Er, no that was that baldy pr1ck Bennett!

You sure? I thought Bennett was a Prem ref these days.
