Barrow v Orient match thread

[Suffolk Blue]

Don’t knock Orient. They did a thoroughly professional job on us.

They are a big physical side with plenty of pace and talent in midfield and up front. Being a big physical side they will do all the things that those types of teams will do : slow the game down, push, pull and bully. The officials let them do it (actually the ref colluded on occasions) so that presented Orient with a significant advantage. But they were the better side. I think we finally saw our limitations today. No disgrace but something to work on.

The refs behaviour in the second half in particular was a little bizarre. He chose not to deal with Orients game management by penalising them ~ which might have been useful; but chose to add 8 minutes on at the end which was not. He was a gift to Orient though probably not the reason we lost. One moment he walked one of their players being subbed right across the pitch; the next he forces another player to walk around the pitch as per the current regs. He was completely managed by the opposition.

Bit unkind saying the only difference in between your previous visits was a new roof on the Holker End ??

Granted no huge modern obvious changes but loads more than stated, New Floodlights, Lazer levelled snooker table of a pitch, New Media/TV gantry above the Pop side Roof, Extra crush barriers everywhere, Scoreboard, New fan zone & indoor out door bar, revamped club house, CTV cameras, Revamped turnstiles etc etc ….Just for clarity.

Clarity accepted

Most bizarre was Smyth being subbed whilst injured and then coming back on pitch and contributing to a move for them whilst they had 12 on the pitch

Where did he come back on at? By the main stand? Certainly didn’t come back on in front of the pop side after being subbed off and told he had to go off that way rather than walk across the pitch

The referee when pratley ( who was on a yellow card) ignored him and carried walking slowly back to the halfway line should have booked him for dissent and then sent him off it was so weak richie wellens must have been [SwearFilter] himself!

I’ll add another post to it tomorrow, things I have to do to get a quiet life!!!!!

Did a right number on us.
Epic levels of shithousery- ref awful- Wellens an arrogant bellsnifff as per
We weren't terrible and on a better day we beat them
Their number 7 was excellent, as were their centre halves- though they should be representing GB in judo the amount of pulling they did. Fair play to them.
4th after 10 games, delighted
Onward

We couldn’t get going at all and I thought it was a flat performance. I couldn't see any pattern to our play and think we played into their hands. We can play a lot better than this. Farman will be disappointed with both goals.

He came on in front of the popular side. He was ushered off by the ref after the ball went out for a throw. He walked about 5/10 metres pst the half way line and went back on in front of the linesman

When his number came up he started to walk across the pitch, the referee then ( we all heard it) said no go off there pointed and ushered him off he then walked off round the pitch past the Holker Street end and then past there supporters who applauded him ,what were you watching?

[behind the goals]

Not to bad after 10 games we have won 7 next 10 league games would hope to win another 5/6, would rather win/lose games instead of drawing
them, Wild said Bennett could be 3 weeks away from playing that`s him missing almost a 1/3 of the season, regarding Josh Kay I would play him on Tuesday and also v Man Utd U21, was just getting his head straight and then gets sent-off, regarding the goals today looked very soft and Farman gets beat far to easily by those low shots. Brilliant home crowd of 4,300 hope many will stick with us but with October approaching and many families struggling to pay bills Football will not be top of the list and crowds will be a lot lower.

I was watching the game. And before he got anywhere near their fans he walked along the popular side and went back on the pitch. The referee ushered him off when the ball went out fr a throw. This was before he even got to the Holker street end. Several people around me commented on it. I checked the pitch and there had been 12 on. Hope that clarifies it.

Perhaps he thought the substitution hadn’t been made; and it would be made when he got round to the bench.
