This is taken from the FA website under laws of the game, I think it used to be the case it was a free kick but was changed a little while back. Edit - I'm not 100% sure the foul did continue into the box mind, hard to tell on the replay on a phone but he may well have let go before then.

Lincoln were flying when there was no pressure on, they were never expected to make the playoffs from where they were but once they got into position they started stuttering. Also they were fortunate to be getting the results they were but I've been over that enough times. They're no mugs but I...

I think we'll be 5th by 10pm tomorrow. Confident we'll beat Lincoln whose luck seems to have dried up and I can't see an out of form Barnsley going to a packed out and bouncing Fratton Park and getting anything, especially when a Pompey win confirms the title in front of their own fans. I'd...

Agreed, I was just thinking the other day that in all the various chat about our transfer windows no one really picked up on the fact that Manning actively decided not to keep Jodi Jones at the club. He'd been on loan (and not allowed to return, cheers Karl) so would have been a fresh start and...

Definitely something in it, Cam is quality but there's a tendency for him to try and do everything. My hope is that he can see what we're doing and realises he doesn't have to do this and can just focus on a specific role rather than playing on his own, if we can get him playing to his best...

Something I've not seen mentioned much is how good he is with his weaker foot. Today he played a superb 50 yard ball to Dale and he regularly has good shots or puts good balls in with his left. I can't recall a player for us who hits it so cleanly with both feet and that's such a useful skill...

Agree and not a criticism, I just didn't feel he was at his most influential but having a player who can get into those positions regularly is gold dust. I'd still like to see Cam in one of those roles, I think he's neutered slightly by playing as the holding midfielder, or alternatively he does...

I actually thought RR didn't do a huge amount today bar take his goals brilliantly. Big fan of Goodrham too but if we can keep this system and get Brannagan in his best position then it's worth looking at, he's the best player in the squad in that role in my book.

Click on his profile and then ignore, I did it weeks ago. Nothing against people being critical but most of us know baldy and know he's looking for a reaction, just don't bother with him. Some threads go off the rails a bit when people keep replying but it's certainly a net positive.

Don't see why they can't both play, McEachran can sit and allow Brannagan to play as one of the 8's where he can get at teams more. Sign me up for some of that.

I was going to make this point, I'm one who has thought we're too soft and have been for some time so it was nice to see someone willing to give a bit of verbal out and a little shove after the ball has gone. Along with Murphy the main positive of Des' reign in terms of player performance. No...

It's that if though. They can offer more money but we pay big ourselves. It'll be his last big contract and you can't blame someone for taking that money but he'll have made a lot already and there's a lot to be said for being happy in your job, he looks to be enjoying himself for the first time...

Excellent today, he seemed to have developed a reputation for being a bit of liability defensively but he was solid against a very good winger. Still contributed going forwards and it was nearly a great finish when he smashed the post. What a treat it is to have both him and Bennett as options...

Not read all the comments and suspect I won't be adding anything new but that was absolutely sensational today, especially with Cam and Moore out, I'd have them as the top 2 for player of the season. Special shout out for Sam Long who was brilliant, I've been critical of him plenty of times but...

I've been disappointed with him generally this season but he was fantastic today and better in that role than Brannagan is as he's much more disciplined. A real boon if he can play that role and allow Cam to play as one of the 8's alongside Rodrigues, if McGuane plays his way back into...
