Blackpool FC

@BlackpoolFC

8' - The Seasiders surround the referee appealing for offside in the build up but Marcus Tavernier's close range tap in stands.

 

[hertfordseasider]

We have had some shocking decisions this season.

 

[Chunkylad]

Will need to see a better angle to convince me that wasn’t a shocker by the linesman

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Defence fast asleep offside or not.

11 - Just seen a replay. It's miles offside. The referee has clearly missed the flick-on from Lee Peltier (1-0)

[premierdream2010]

Just said on Sky the guy was a mile offside

 

[Bloodtangerine]

Great start

 

[62years&counting]

Simply not good enough.

 

[Insider]

Half the team was offside.

 

[hertfordseasider]

If you play the offside trap it is likely that officials will miss it, a dangerous tactic in my book.

 

[tangerine.com]

Pool still shouldn’t have been in that position

 

[20togo]

just seen it again. Seems to time his run right.

Still piss poor defending..

So what's new?

 

[Bloodtangerine]

Yes they did

 

[1953forever]

Definatly off side

That's my thinking. It's not working for us. We can't rely on the competence of officials as they are mostly not up to it.

I've never liked it, to be honest.

 

[TheRealKingKenny]

It looked offside but it was still avoidable, amateur defending, play to the whistle, Sterling get rid of it.

 

[rememberlesshannon]

Stubborn man Critchley, 5 at the back please.

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

What is it with Garbutt and free kicks.

 

[hertfordseasider]

I've never liked it, to be honest.

Me either

 

[TSSeasider]

Different time zone. Outrageous

 

[Ormergod]

What is he doing

 

[1953forever]

Tjj missed a sitter

 

[TheRealKingKenny]

Story of our season in 15 minutes this.

 

[Seasider1]

Tjj missed a sitter

What a dipstick.

 

[20togo]

didn't even hit the target. shiite.

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Saying on Lancs that we were wrong to allow Boro to have five of theirs in command of the box.

 

[Ormergod]

He is such a pussy I’m sorry

 

[Pauls_Boutique]

Its actually getting to the point where the officials ineptitude is making games not worth watching.

 

[JJpool]

Another decision against us, about time management came out after the game about it.

But wasn't defended well.

 

[Memphisboy]

I just think it'll take Critchley a bit of time to work out his best X1, like it did last season.
This time last year we had MJ Williams starting as CDM, I don't think Dougall had been signed. Hopefully we can sign someone extra for midfield either on a loan or as a free agent

With due respect it’s his job to know his best eleven. Not good enough to still be all over the shop a quarter of the season in. Can’t just be me losing a bit of faith in Critchley.

 

[thefutureistangerine]

Simply not good enough.

Are you in the stadium, or watching? If that got a flick on as Scrafton said then it's a mile offside. Sky concurring apparently. Don't think we've played badly so far other than that tbh

 

[Bloodtangerine]

didn't even hit the target. shiite.

How are you watching it 20s?

 

[Mark_GT]

Hopefully Jerry will be suitably wound up to get his season going by the time he comes on. We're lacking energy here.

 

[Memphisboy]

If you’ve given a crap decision who’d you rather be waiting for you, Warnock or Critchley?

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Embleton the provider for a Sunderland goal at the Cods.

Bloody 'ell only 8 games in?

 

[62years&counting]

JJ a waste of a loan signing. What on earth were Pool thinking bringing him and several others in this summer, dire.

 

[bleed_the_freak]

I've lost count how many times we've given it away?

 

[Mr Tangerine Man]

Is it worth giving Paul Dikov a ring?

 

[Roy Kent]

Lucky not to be 2 down here

 

[20togo]

too many mistakes

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Lancs pundit scathing about Pool defence - "fragile." Ekpiteta and Garbutt making a mess of things.

 

[Yarmouth Seasider]

Huddersfield 0 Notts Forest 1

 

[Ormergod]

We started the game quite well we’re just losing our heads a bit at moment

 

[tangysider]

Posh and Forest winning

 

[Fylde Seasider]

Keogh is fooking dreadful!

 

[Roy Kent]

If our tactic is for Max to bring it out and pass long we need Madine on to be able to hold it up cos TJJ is not doing it
