Atmosphere? haha thats funny; we didnt hear you at all even when you scored!! its fair to say that the shay is completely atmosphere-free; so the morecambe fans will always feel at home there.
Heres a tip - get the shay sold, then move to a retirement home - iv seen more life in the place there. |
The original foul on Prendergast was deliberate. The ball was about 2 foot in front of Prendergast and Edwards took his legs. That's a deliberate foul. Prendergast reacted. A yellow for both would have sufficed.
But your number 3 committed two yellow card offences but was only shown the card for one of them.
I don't think the ref was 'biased', just poor. That chance you had in the first half, after you had scored, when your player shot wide of the goal one-on-one with the keeper. Our keeper got his legs to it. You probably wouldn't have realised from the away stand as the deflection of the keepers legs was minor, but enough to divert the ball wide. The referee gave us a goal-kick!
There were poor decisions for both teams so don't try saying he was biased; we felt hard done by loads of the ref's decisions, hence the 'You don't know what your doing' chants. He was just a poor referee.
You can say what you want about the atmosphere yesterday but you are of course talking nonesense. The Accy fans disappointed me yesterday because I thought they would have created some noise but it didn't happen, with all the noise coming from us, mainly in the second half. I also know from last season that there is no atmosphere at the IES, possibly due to the structure of the stands and the fact that parts of the stadium aren't roofed, and so I'm expecting that we will be creating all the noise then as well.
