Looks like Blackpool have been 'analysing' our players...

How was their goal not ruled out for off-side? A great finish but does the striker not go to head it but misses. Surely he is stood in Lonergan's line of sight?

My thoughts to ... & I guess why the linesman (I have no truck with 'referee's assistant') flagged.

You don't need to take a Brian Clough interpretation of 'interfering with play' to view this as such.

Almost like the ref admired the shot and wanted to give a goal (& it was a good shot).

Pretty much what Tomo said in the post match interview.

It was. Then Blackpool protested and the ref went to the linesman. Then it was given. Then we protested to the linesman and the ref.

And it was still given.

All we're asking for is consistency from the officials and so on......

He's got long arms at the bookie's counter, but short ones at the payin out window.

Brilliant, cheers a1. I'd forgotten all about that. When I think back to that match my main memory is missing the only goal (Jules!) 'cos I pegged it round from the Paddock to the ticket office to get the tix for the away leg, which for some bizarre reason went on sale 15 minutes before the final whistle. And then the jobsworth on the gate wouldn't let me back in, so I snuck into the Burnden Stand for the only time in my life...
