That Pen

[Bladesman]

Because he's the best option for the RCM, unless we sign someone - desperately needed in my view. Said this for weeks, we need more competition and quality in the right side of midfield.

Sign Besic.

 

[Killamarshblades]

Such a un-wilder thing to do, start someone who doesn’t want to sign a contract. Took a toss penalty. Was a big fan of his but get rid for me now and get whatever money we can. Hope his fucking about hasn’t made us miss out on potential replacements.

Didn’t the club take the option on his final year??

 

[Guesty]

Refs doing tonight.

It's not his fault, he has to enforce the rules. That was a clear red card, regardless of how early or late in the game it came.

 

[SwissBlade]

You missed off shite crosses. Either way too much on them or didn’t beat the first man

It was intentional as I thought that his crossing wasn’t a bit harder to pick players out with so few in the box

set pieces is a conscious decision by the management to put him forward

 

[Booker4]

Sign Besic.

I'm thinking more creative than that. Swift would have been ideal but that's not gonna happen it seems.

 

[raimond]

It’s a great height the perfect distance for a keeper to dive and save it

12 yards?

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Cost us against a fucking wank side. Thanks a lot Lunny, don’t let the door hit you on the way out you shithouse.

Perfect height for any keeper that pen. It would have been a very different game if that had gone in. Gutted.

 

[Bladedog]

Thought that on first glance. Left foot clearly on line from the side angle they showed at half time.

Really..never saw that..cheers

 

[Bladesman]

Besic is quite creative, good shot. Only problem is he likes to chop players down.

 

[SwissBlade]

Lunny is playing for Lunny.

If there was a better player to come in and play that role, they'd be in doing it

 

[raimond]

Shit pen but fuck all to do with a contract. At least he wanted to take it.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

Shite pen, shite freekicks, shite corners, but ran his legs off, fully committed player

I think the difference with Lunny and Duffy is that Duffy went and asked for more, we've offered Lunny a contract and he thinks he's worth more.... so he's trying to prove his worth on the pitch.

Just keep him off any set pieces

I think that's a fair assessment. I don't like his moody body language, but in open play he is trying. I just don't think he has as much quality at this level as he thinks he has.

Yep. Was awful in possession, awful set pieces (why wasn't fleck taking them??), but I'd like to bet he covered more km's than anyone out there?

And for those saying get rid - and play whom? He's the best player we have at RCM by some distance

 

[The Vicar]

Individual errors once again cost us.

A hoof & Egan is found wanting, its happened before. Plus a crap pen. No use blaming refs etc, we were v poor.

I repeat we will struggle till December, by the looks of it bottom 6 struggling, but I think beyond that we will get it together.

The lack of quality is ominous though! hard work & graft can only get you so far!

 

[Cerberus Blade]

I was a poor pen not a good save, nice height not in the corner.

But he was one of the better 2nd half players.

were you?

 

[Sean Thornton]

Was a good save to be fair.

You can’t make statements like that on a scapegoat thread.

 

[nopigfansintown]

Berge goes down and we get a second penalty.

NGL I can’t work out what you mean

 

[LJBlade]

He only wanted to take it so he could miss it on purpose, he hates the club and just wants to see us relegated...

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Was a shite pen right enough. But Lundstram is playing no worse than Fleck is at this moment in time and Fleck doesn’t get the same shit.

 

[Wards]

In fairness to Lundstram I think he’s one of the best finishers we have and technically a very good player. Not a brilliant penalty but hardly a terrible one, coupled with a decent save.

 

[nopigfansintown]

A shite pen misses the target. It was average. 'Keeper goes the wrong way and it's never talked about again.

 

[andy m]

I shite pen misses the target. It was average. 'Keeper goes the wrong way and it's never talked about again.

Penalty was okay for me, struck well and close to the corner, but I thought he telegraphed which way he was going to put it.

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Maybe but I think A) it’s as close enough to the corner for it to be classed as a good save B) he’s not our standard pen taker and C) is there anyone else on the pitch willing to take it?

Lunny ain’t the reason we’ve lost tonight tbf.

Lunny wasn’t great tonight but he did put some effort in with only 10 men - but your last sentence is miles out. He scores the pen we get a point.

[nopigfansintown]

It was a nice height, but was struck forcefully and towards the corner. Much worse penalties will fly in every week. Players should be praised for having the balls to step up, not targeted like Mcburnie and Lundstram. Save that for Rhodes and the guy who bottled it when we went down to the fourth. The opening post, ironically, was cowardice personified.

 

[OrderOfStGeorge]

Pissing me right off why the hell even play someone that doesn't want to sign a new contract.

The fact he is playing tells me we have a real lack of quality in the midfield and Wilder is trying to muddle through because it would cost a lot of money to get a quality player in there alongside Fleck and Berge.

 

[BettingBlade]

Lunny wasn’t great tonight but he did put some effort in with only 10 men - but your last sentence is miles out. He scores the pen we get a point.

Egan doesn’t get sent off we’re not under the cosh for the next 80 minutes.

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

Appologies. How do I report myself to the forum police?

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Shite pen, shite freekicks, shite corners, but ran his legs off, fully committed player

And that's exactly what get's you no points, no goals and relegated.
