Well done Pool! I said we were at least a top League One team if only Critch would stop giving the opposition too much respect. 8 goals in two games, see Critch. Onwards and upwards!
This is the point where we see what Mousinho has got on the locker. Can he stop this going to rot quickly and turn it round again? That's what makes great managers. First really big challenge. We'll soon see.
Bolton fan here. no need to worry. we had a similar game v. wigan which we also lost 0-4, Pompey will be back. pompey and bolton for automatic promotion. Both clubs too big for league one.
You guys got away with the result. It was a clear foul on Kamara in the box. Stonewall penalty should have been given and deflected second goal Beesley was in an offside position. You can see it goes in off him, goal shouldn't have stood.
Our unbeaten run had to end eventually but we can have no complaints really, we weren't great and the better team won on the day. But the refereeing was absolutely awful. It was a stonewall penalty all day long. It was a clear foul on Kamara and the ref was constantly giving Blackpool free kicks all afternoon, yet Kamara was fouled in the box and according to the referee it's not a penalty. And their player Beesley was in an offside position when he deflected the ball in. Our keeper Norris was furious and so he should be. The standard of refereeing has become so bad, and that's in all leagues. It has to improve because how the ref cannot see that as a clear foul in the box beggars belief. It's simply not good enough. 😡
So sad that Owen Dale is being booed. Why? He is just someone doing his job. Portsmouth didn't want him. Do the fans want to cancel him make him play just Sunday morning casual games? It is about time some football "fans" thought about their actions. What are they teaching their children?
Well… it could have been better. Ref was shocking. Standard is awful. Offside for the second goal… stone wall penalty and then moments later Morrell getting sent off (it was a definite second yellow but should have been a pen). Sack all the officials
Nothing stonewall about the penalty decision, the guys trying to buy it by running into a static player, never a pen. The offside wasn't even offside either, pause it, looks level or so close it makes no difference.
