[Austin the Shrimper]

Can someone bring on the penalty taker fiasco at the next zoom please

 

[Ipswhrimp]

Hobson... oh, Lord

 

[gatecrasher]

I can't think of a time I have been this angry at a performance. 45 minutes to just chuck it all out there...

 

[Chaz SUFC]

Handball there no?????

 

[Shrimpet steve]

Can someone please explain to me why ANG didnt take the penalty? He scored our last penalty at scunthorpe right ? So surely he should be taking the pens right now? Also jason demitriou is a superb penalty taker before the miss at boreham wood he hadnt missed one in about 10 I think! Surely the manager has to step in and say we need our strongest penalty on the pens? If not one of the other players should have been big enough to tell akinola ANG has to take it!! Things like this cost us valuable points and there is alot at stake! Anyone can miss a penalty but surely it was ANGs all day long.

 

[Streaky]

handball no?

 

[Shrimper95]

Was that not a blatant handball by the Carlisle defender or am I seeing things? ?

 

[Boreham Blue]

It won’t be long before bringing Halford on just for his long throw will be our best chance of an attempt on target

 

[Barling Magna]

Great run and even a great pass by ANG but Demi misses it completely....

 

[MisterStubbs]

That’s a handball surely? If it doesn’t hit his arm the ball goes through to ANG!

 

[Clarky176]

Has anyone considered that Akinola is our designated penalty taker, but wasn't on the pitch to take it against Scunthorpe?

 

[Chaz SUFC]

P

Probably a good thing no-one appealed. How have they all.missed that!

 

[Austin the Shrimper]

Akinola looks scared of the ball

 

[Jay_SUFC]

Why do we bring everyone back for their throws and corners

 

[NZamba Legend]

Is Rots Hall cursed?

 

[southendkid]

I didn't notice the handball until the replay and based on the lack of appeals I don't think anyone else saw it either, I think Akinola going down probably distracted everyone.

Very good point hadn't thought of that.
Not sure it would still be the case.

 

[crangoner]

Great defending from Hobson

 

[Barling Magna]

Wow. A superb run by ANG. Great pace and control.

 

[superblue24]

Do we not give our own players a shout when they have time on the ball? We just seem to hoof it no matter what.
