What a start! Attacking from minute one, scored from a corner. Been attacking since.

Missed the first 3 minutes. Hoping I didn't miss the only Morecambe goal!

We'd been ahead for two minutes by then!

Good game, playing really well and we're pressing them. Keep it up!

Excellent half

Any news on Williams ??

Sorry Red Alert but who is the "Williams" that you refer to?

Millen>Lewis.

Still playing well. Millen went down a few minutes ago.

Tollitt>Taylor

1 1

Gutted

Good performance against a top side

Surely that 1st win isn't far away

Bizzare, ref was excellent until 80th minute, then became a Notts County player! Want to see the video, very mixed views re "goal" or goal line?

Definitely a goal - not even a touchline 50-50 - clear "green" between the line and the ball. Awful ref and linesman - again!

I watched the game on tv and to be honest I couldn't tell whether it had crossed the line. But my eyes ain't what they used to be.lol. But I'm sure somebody will come up with a photo to prove it did or didn't.

Another game spoilt by hopeless officials. Promotion and relegation is going to be determined by the officials. They are generally a disgrace to EFL.

I have said it before ( with no reply’s) and I will say it again we need some form of VAR in L1and L2 to compensate for the dreadful level of refereeing from these part time little Hitlers !!! . They are ruining the game !!!

We did a number of them today, another Derek Adams Masterclass. The effort put in by the lads deserved the three points, we never let them play. McGoldrick hardly got a kick and Cowley was frustrated all game.

The Ref was hopeless, he bought every dive and scream from the Notts players. The liner on our side was the same, conned time and time again
He told Derek that he couldn't see if the ball was over the line which begs the question, what was he looking at?

A lot in the Halo are saying it was over, I’m afraid I was watching Slew, who was running in and just wanted him to help bundle it over the line and burst the back of the net. Unfortunately he stoped, was that because he saw it over the line?

Their defender was off balance and only just got a touch to knock it forward and it would not have taken much for Slew to finish it off.

The Linesman, well if you wasn’t behind play he might have had a better view. We will have to Waite if it’s on the extended highlights, if, one or two things I would like to see again have not been on them.

From our position to the right of the goal it appeared that their keeper saved our first effort but didn’t get control of the ball and it was struck completely over the line on the follow up. The keeper dragged it out immediately but it had already crossed the line. How the ref and liner missed it is beyond me. Will our luck ever change?

Look at the replay again.
We have a free kick that we are going to put into the box.
The refs positioning is appalling and he had no way of making a decision.
The linesman is behind play which is crazy.

That's inconclusive to me!

The diameter of a regulation size 5 football is 22cm/8.66inch.

The whole of the ball bas to be over the line (not just where it is touching the grass.

This means the ball has to be 11cm/4.33inch or more over the line to be a goal.

I’ve seen the highlights for me inconclusive.

The photo above, for what it is, means it was so so close. As I said the lines man was behind play, it did not help him so I think he copped out.

As I said Slew should have been blasting that over the line, he stopped thinking it was going over, their defender was off balance and only just kicked the ball.

The red card for Harrack was disappointing he played really well, we will miss him against Bradford.

Much better with two up front once Angol went off their defenders where able to bring the ball out, it changed the game and gave the a lot of more possession.

A poor goal to give away, sleeping defender at back post again.

Still inconclusive, but clearly their players thought it was over too, judging by their body language, and apparently, comments they made to our players post match.

What we can be 100% sure of, at the other end of the pitch, it would have been given.

The red card added insult to injury. Yes, the ref had been strict regarding dissent earlier in the game, but he must have realised there was a high chance that he'd made a huge error. Even though he was never going to change his mind, a bit of discretion would have been sensible. It clearly wasn't 'foul & abusive language' as that's a straight red, not a second yellow. Now, the ref not only denied us two points, but also Harrack now misses the Bradford game too.

Anyone keeping a running total of how many points crap refs have taken from us this season?

5 points at least, possible 6/7.

That would have a reasonable start, 8-9 points.

As I've said I think we will be OK at the end of the season.

Oh and it is bad referring not bad luck.
