[Marked Ox]

EXTENDED MATCH HIGHLIGHTS with BBC Sheffield commentary from Rob Staton and John Pearson.

The comments around their opening goal were hilariously over the top. Whilst it was a good goal, if that is up for goal of the season then they haven't scored many good ones. And the follow up about Barca, the commentary team were definitely going over the top.

Both Martin Gray and Matt Murphy are 50 years old now, a fact that makes me feel old.

Knowing that I watched Josh Windass's dad play for us is enough.

The Extended Highlights with BBC Sheffield commentary ( which are good ) show it more clearly - it was a stonewall pen.

Yes that certainly looked like a penalty. Their guy seemed to go down ‘late’ which may have put the ref off.

Hadn’t realised what good chances Weds missed in the second half.

No one and I mean NO ONE did pointing like Martin Gray. He also liked a gee-up the crowd gesture.

Amazing how little it takes to win over a crowd. .

Matt Murphy.

There was a lad who could point.

Nice, it does beg the question though if Sheff Wed can put highlights like this on youtube why arent we doing the same ?

Cracking tackle that.

I thought their player didn’t go down straight away and hesitated maybe that’s why the good referee didn’t give a penalty

That really shouldn't matter or even come into the equation, was he fouled yes or no. The Ref cannot add "Filters" like yes he was fouled but i don't like the way he's fallen.

The Ref did have a fair game but on the ref thread I suspect his score would be very different had the incident involved denying us a penalty.

 

[Thomas/Brock/Jones]

I can see why it wasn't given as the ' fall ' did make it look a bit suss especially as he was running straight into two other defenders .
It was a pen but one look

Dave Smith was the best pointer we ever had. Laid it back to Matt Elliot and then pointed to where he wanted it played

Players who could point?...

Would never dare besmirch the great man. Fantastic player for us.

At the ground in real time, my thought at the time was 50/50 . It did look a big of a dive. Did most people at the time think clear pen?
It wasnt shown, but McNally's long run looked like it could be a penalty when he was 'brought down' right at the edge of the box but was it a foul?

Agreed. Good on the young lads and have been in touch with a couple get a flag or two added to their ranks..

Question for them and also the Ultras, Michelle showed me where the old flags were (under the east and at the back) are any of the material reusable or are they worthless? They were very damp when I looked at getting them out for the display back in the lockdown days.

Watching online, on the replays both incidents looked like fouls, but I could see why both weren’t given

Agreed. Ran the show when United won 3-1 at Ewood Park for example. I think he found it far too easy playing at our level......even with his lack of pace.

Fantastic organiser of a defence.
