How many of you actually believe that the ONLY reason you lost that game was the referee and his decisions?

No wishy washy "might have beens" etc- how many people think that the only, single reason you lost was the referee?

I don't. I believe the assistant was more guilty in the second leg, although the referee has to shoulder the blame for the first leg - and I don't necessarily mean Duffy's first leg.

Therefore I slightly amend.

Well, factually it was a draw. No idea what would have happened if extra time had ensued, or penalties. (Yes I am indeed stringing you along)

[Truthful]

thats fine

Just interested to see what the consensus is amongst you

I think it played a major part, if we'd left the Ricoh with a 0-1, had our second goal stood, we'd have actually been in front in the tie.

The fact that the goal wasn't given, changed the dynamic, Cov then scored a third which was offside twice in the same move.

We can't say that it was the only reason but the officiating was an absolute, major contributor to the result, any neutral would surely accept that?

I don't, I believe there were THREE reasons we lost the game.

1. Wrong decision by ref to award you a penalty at your place.
2. Wrong decision by JS side lino to rule out the Forte 'goal'.
3. Wrong decision by DP side lino to allow your third goal.

Correct decisions would have meant a 3-3 aggregate. You can't lose 3-3. After that it's unfortunately back to wishy washy "might have beens". Either side could have gone on to win.

4 - Wrong decision by the ref to allow the game to go ahead at our place. Should never of played on such a dreadful pitch. Not for that pitch wed of been out of sight by HT 1st leg.

4 wrong decisions in the 2 games is a fact, you being out of sight by HT is only your opinion.

You had one chance at our place, ONE CHANCE and that was only bought about by standing water.

On the flip side, the standing water was by far your best defender in the 1st half.
