Bird Table 0 Posted January 1, 2005 I''m watching the match at work and I can tell you that Eddy''s sending off was a joke. He made an honest atempt to get the ball on an incredibly wet pitch, miss-timed it and the ref send himstraight off.... FRANCIS HAS JUST SCORED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Branston Pickle 3,673 Posted January 1, 2005 I just looked on BBC text thing and all it says is ''professional foul'' but the resultant free kick was from the pompey half. Just what is the ref up to if he can''t give a player a break on a wet pitch in the first few minutes of a crucial game - clearly seems bent on ruining the game as a spectacle!! I just hope we can now sit tight and keep the all important clean sheet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bird Table 0 Posted January 1, 2005 Looking at the red card again, I think Eddy did take the player first but the wet pitch made it look far more reckless than it was. And how often do players get sent off in the 5th minute for a professional foul? Hardly ever! Plus I think Charlton was covering anyway. Can''t see us hanging on to this lead, it''s a very open game. I just hope we keep trying to get forward as Pompey have looked shoddy at the back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
