Carlisle United (a)

[The 12th Marquis of Sixfields]

The iFollow brigade are fully entitled to their opinion as you and I are. Most if not all ignore the jibe, sincerely hope you are not falling into the snowflake brigade. We today at best only deserved a draw. Our much vaunted defence have now conceded 4 goals in two games, Also we had enough chances to win that game in the first half,

The "iFollow" brigade would have had a better view than those there stuck out in a different postcode for most of the match

That’s a very subjective opinion even though I know you have been to the ground in the past.  Both my sons watched on iFollow and where initially Flummoxed by the award of the penalty. Two blokes next to me said it was a clear penalty in fact there was generally consensus that it was.For me you cannot beat by being at the game in person; have done both like you.
The post code I was at is : CA1 1LL for 95 mins?

For a more realistic match report I find the Chrons summary of the game reasonably accurate and I trust it!

You will be pleased to know I agree with you - the majority of fans were in a line directly opposite the incident - iFollow followed the flight of the ball from the free kick - a less clear view and I actually stood up and got closer to the screen for the replay.

Always thought you were a true fan

To be honest, the free kick was directly in front of me.  The penalty not so and I wasn't sure for what it had been given for.  The reaction of the players (no argument), convinced me that whatever it was for it was not controversial.

The pen against us was pretty clear cut.
Just watching the rugby they seem to want to stop every try with the TMO.
Even one for a suspected knock on where the Saints player was no where near it. There’s a definite similarity between our teams that we don’t like making it easy. Two awful penalty misses.

Having seen the replay I think Horsfall was a little unfortunate with the penalty as there did not appear to be any intent and the ball hit him. If it had not hit him it would have gone out for a goal kick as there was no Carlisle player behind him to take advantage.

[Dr Feelgood]

I had a horrible feeling about this one.

Don't want to urinate on your fire chaps, but that was the clearest penalty I've seen for some time, he threw his arm out, I'm presuming he thought there was somebody behind him and he then hoped the Ref hadn't seen him handle it.
A lot of talk in the Paddock was questioning why on earth had he done it, as there didn't seem to be any danger.
Also it goes without saying, but none of your players argued with the ref, which tells it's own story

The free kick which lead to the penalty should have been given to us but Koiki still shouldn't have grabbed the ball. For the handball, Horsfall while carrying an injury missed his header and the ball hit his arm behind his back, looked very accidental to me. At the moment the rules say arms are in an unnatural position if they are not glued to the player's sides. The Ref apparently didn't see it (according to Paul Simpson), the fourth official spotted it from his handy position on the half way line, or in the home dugout? Eyes like a hawk.
As for our players not arguing with the Ref, they never do! to the annoyance of all Cobblers fans.

Most Cobbs fans who saw the incident said it was a penalty, unlucky for Horsfall but still a penalty. Not sure why you need to tell us it was when most there agreed it was!

Unfortunately I have to agree with you.
Spot on analysis for me.

Are you really suggesting they can't beat Stevenage for gok wans sake? Me Aunty Mildreds cat could beat that shower.

[Peter Frost]

Unlucky but it was a penalty- if the 4th official’s eagle eye spotted it it’s a pity he didn’t interject on the clear foul on Koiki before his handball - I guess that wasn’t deemed significant- although of course it was!

Or the clear foul by Koiki immediately prior to the foul on Koiki.

......stop being reasonable - I'll happily lend you a spare pair of claret tinted!

I guess bottom line - a draw would have been a fair result but life isn't fair

True, but I'd have preferred us to have converted the three first half clear chances to make the added time shenanigans irrelevant.
