How the Spartans missed that goal is beyond me, didn't think it a penalty at the time and replay does not convince me either but it was a good penalty save, roll on Tuesday night

It was clumsy by their lad in the box though bograt! Always giving the ref the option.

Hunter - what a player, gives us pace and power at the back, quietly goes about his job and some great tackles on the highlights. Hope his injury isn't going to keep him out for too long.

All in all I think we had the chances to win the game, Noble looking "better" without having that killer instinct. Thommo still heavy touches but we've done that one to death. They are definitely beatable.

Definitely beatable. Don't think they have scored for four games.
For you to insult me, I must first value your opinion.

That tackle on Hunter is horrendous! That could have been so much worse.

Challenge on Hunter was horrific. Sure it was intentional on their lad's part but he should have walked for it all the same. Fair play to Hunter though, he battles on and later on makes a challenge which obviously causes him a great deal of pain.

Penalty was debatable. Thought it was nailed on at the time but the more I see the more I have my doubts. Still if you send someone to ground you run the risk I guess. Penalty save was top notch, the ball is slightly above a comfortable height and has plenty of pace.

I hope we haven't missed our chance to progress to be honest. Tuesday night at their place will be very tough I reckon. May well come down to who has the legs for two games in such a short space of time.
