Official Match Thread Southend United vs Burton Albion

[Ricey]

Not what we needed before half time!

That ball went out *****!!!

Regardless... You can't stand around like cats waiting for one person to shoot.

 

[Barling Magna]

Ball clearly out of play, and a handball just before too............ no luck for us there.

True dat....

Definitely out. What's the linesman's job if he can't see that?

On another note, where has our midfield gone in the last 5 minutes?

 

[superblue24]

Ball went out? Irrelevant. Play to the whistle, simple as.

Very true that was school boy!

Out or not that was awful defending. O'Neill should have been working his nuts off to get the player closed down. We need to start the 2nd half well. Burton were starting to look dangerous

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

They said the ball looked out on BBC Essex.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Cant hear the BV tonight

Just got home & tuned in to sky, happy with the score but atmosphere sounds a bit morgue-esq, has something bad happened I'm not aware of..

It sounds awful doesn't it?

Don't know whether that's just where they've placed the mics but the crowd really isn't in it, although they've had little to get them off their seats.

With the empty North Bank and an insipid half of football it's not a good advert for league one.

Who's the summariser? Reckons we're playing it long a lot doesn't he?

Well the officials managed to miss first the handball then the fact it was out of play- however we should know by now that there is nothing, however obvious, that the officials are not capable of missing and play on!!

They said the ball looked out on BBC Essex.

why should it matter? You can't just ball watch. Ref isn't going to change his mind....

 

[SHRIMPERPETER]

Well out blind ****!

 

[superblue24]

Next goal will decide the game imo.

 

[Tommy's Mooney]

Am I the only one who thinks it wasn't out, taking into account the actual rule...

 

[kentblues]

Oh dear- lino staring at it just 15 yards away- ball sat on top of the sand thats put down where the linos run up and down well off the pitch- but no excuse for stopping playing. Should have gone to Specsavers..

 

[Ricey]

Am I the only one who thinks it wasn't out, taking into account the actual rule...

Yep, I'm afraid you are.

 

[WickfordShrimper]

Watching the Sky TV ? why no singing or drumming ? A bit weird if I am honest

 

[kentblues]

I would suggest you apply to the FL to be a linesman- you have already passed the first test :-)

And yes

O'Neill is pushing on too much and leaving us exposed down our right, either we need timlin to sit in deeper or for him to hold back a bit more.
