An alternative view from...

[HodgysBrokenThumb]

Not a rival to Roy's essential reading, but a thought from yesterday's game as I was making a comment on the thread about Freeman (should we call him KF now?). How we see the match is affected by where we sit, and it would be interesting to share views from around the ground, particularly in the afterglow of a good win, to help keep the smile on our faces. 2 examples.
1 Did anyone on the Kop have a clue how Billy's goal went in? Can we have highlights back on the big screen at half-time, for those who can't access Foxy's video during the game!
2 Did those not in the middle of the Kop appreciate how good EEL's tackle was (no innuendo intended!) mid-way through the first half, on the edge of the area, when he was last man? Kept his eye on ball, took it cleanly, prevented a game-changing moment, possibly.
I look forward to different takes on the game.

Looked back att Billy's goal again on TV and it happened so quickly but think it hit the keeper initially rebounding onto the body of Billy and in - not a classic but still a goals a goal !
Great tackle from the EEL and I had visions of Fleetwood for a minute but in the end he made it well

EEL tackle from Kop end of John Street stand was a thing of beauty. btw thought their number 8 looked pretty good going forwards.

From back row (that's EE, not DD) of JSS, Kop end:

First goal looked like Billy had got a touch on the cross and the goalie had caught it. Then everyone cheered and I thought 'oh, I guess we've scored.'

Second goal looked like Hanson couldn't miss and as I jumped up as soon as it reached his foot, moving my hand meant I couldn't see a thing for the sun. Seemed like a delayed reaction from everyone else and felt like a second or two waiting for audible confirmation that it'd gone in.

So I didn't see either goal in the first half actually go in. Bloody sun.

views of the game will differ
sat in the south stand we will be playing left to right . in john street right to left, cant get more opposite views
half will see a hand ball half wont, itll be on the other side
if youve got Fleck in front of you he will look more involved whereas if your same side as Duffy , he will look the more dominant

its why football has so many differing views and thats before any incidents

Perhaps that is one reason why tv football is not a patch on the real thing. So many angles covered, replays, experts telling you what to think, you can even see how many hairs are growing in the manager's nose... Much better to save all that for afterwards (except for the hair, which I can do without seeing).
