If Traore had taken his one v one and that was the last goal, he would have been heavily criticised for that performance.
I guess 200m doesn't buy you all that much. I thought they looked less threatening than in the Play Offs. At least their scrubbers didn't invade the pitch this time. Any news on when they are being forced to play behind closed doors? Thought not.
It never ceases to amaze me on this whole style of play narrative.
I missed the first half as it was early hours here, but there was a great pass from perhaps Norwood into Larouci's path. Obviously it was relatively long pass as it was from Norwood sitting deep. There was already a narrative clearly underway with a comment like it's not often we say that much long passing but if it works then why not? It was an accurate precision pass over distance, one which takes decidedly more skill that a ten yard short pass. It was so far from the Wimbledon hoof it and all run after it approach. Already you can see an undercurrent of not wanting to give credit where it is due.
Later there was the clever lofted pass over the top that put Traore through and had the centre halves (decidedly Championship) all at sea. Soon followed a similar comment.
Even when Hamer was fouled the initial comment was that he'd gone down a bit easily. Only when replayed for all to see could the summariser, Bertles I think, admit, actually it was a bad foul, I got that wrong, lucky not to be a booking.
So why do we always have some fucking United hater as co-commentator or some partisan homer?
Same with Baron Von Fucking Green back accusing Max Lowe of loutish behaviour. Loutish? Trying to retrieve a ball that he thought was his whilst the Manager and Trainer, who have less right to retrieve the ball, are in the way? The guys a prick. In terms of being relevant they guy is dead but refuses to lay down!
Which brings me to bother point of annoyance..what the hell did Osborn and Hamer get booked for if the awful challenge on Hamer escaped a yellow? Just dreadfully inconsistent reffing.
We could do with some much fabled luck that supposedly evens itself out. Hoping for a suss penalty after City have missed 30 shots next week!
