    I suppose its where the foul was committed the Scunthorpe players arm across his chest original starts outside the box but he went down in the box, all water under the bridge the referee wasn't convinced.
    I couldn't bring the Sutton one to mind but yes that looked a more stone wall than Songo's @Rogered Tart@Rogered Tart made that comment yesterday

    You're very argumentative and seem to enjoy getting into an argument! You carry on until you feel you've proved you're right.

    Free kick for Song. Ref indicates defender got the ball. Yeah - after he'd fouled him only just outside the box, judging by the hip collision.

    Yellow card for Sutton. Lost the ball poking it too far past the defender then theatrically dives over an outstretched leg that wasn't moving.

    To be fair, I'd have expected both to be given as pens last season. I'm glad they are not giving soft penalties all the time now. Play acting has been spoiling the game and affecting results. A bit more consistency would be nice though. Are we going to get it in League 2? ... I doubt it!

    That's what I posted "the Scunthorpe players arm across his chest original starts outside the box"

    I get what Billy is saying, but for how long do you stick with underperforming players? I don’t think there were too many players released last season you can argue against, and I don’t believe that if you kept this squad for next season they would become champions.
    The likes of Liverpool can keep a settled squad offering multi year deals, at league two level imagine if we’d given Ismail, Eisa or DMH long deals? Short team deals are the way the world operates in league two.

    Hopefully we have someone in Adams who can recognise a decent player with the right qualities. In order to attract decent players we need to convince them that, some of the players already in the building are half decent. I can imagine most players gave us a wide berth over the last 2/3 seasons.

    Lol.... "I'm right and you're wrong", remind me, are you like 6 years old or something?

    I'm not trying to be right (or wrong) just expressing a view, you're the one seeking to "win", whatever that means.

    As one reporter once asked the great Brian Clough "What happens Brian, when one of your players disagree with your decisions?"

    Brian replied "Well young man, that's easy. We simply go into my office and discuss the problem like civil human beings. Then we both agree that I was right all along"

    This forum is hilarious sometimes. Sack the manager with multiple promotions after a few months of the season and ollie crankshaw is Messi who would have had us promoted by now. Lol times one thousand.

    Not one person has said Crankshaw is Messi or anyone remotely as good as him. But I fair few, myself included, questioned the wisdom of letting the player go at a time when we had injuries and a lack of goals in the side. Turns out that fair few were right to question what has turned out to be a mistake.

    Apologies. The fact he's scored a few for Stockport a division below means he definitely would have done the same for us. I see. 2+2=5

    You're right, it doesn't mean that.

    I'd argue that he has shown just as much, even not more, than the likes of Gillead, Eisa and Evans who have been used in those wide attacking roles though. Including being the only player to actually look threatening and create something in the match before he was sold.

    He is no world beater but he's no worse than the alternatives signed in the summer for the positions he plays in, I'd guess his wages were probably smaller too.

    It's weird isn't it because I never saw this Crankshaw that looked like he had goals in him his record for City was worse than Vernam's lol he just was not a League Two footballer

    Anyway let's just be thankful he didn't go to a League Two side like so many others and start smashing them in there at least with him playing in non league there's no direct comparison and we can both say we don't think he was good enough unlike Doyle and Morris
