Once you lookpast the shots we wernt that bad - from sky sports Plymouth Argyle Team Statistics Watford 0 Goals 1 0 1st Half Goals 1 4 Shots on Target 3 10 Shots off Target 2 8 Blocked Shots 1 13 Corners 3 12 Fouls 29 1 Offsides 7 2 Yellow Cards 2 0 Red Cards 0 50.7 Passing Success 55.1 27 Tackles 21 74.1 Tackles Success 61.9 49.9 Possession 50.1 53.4 Territorial Advantage 46.6
Whatever way you interpret those stats, we gave a very poor account of ourselves, but thankfully, this is cup footie and we are through to the next round. We won't have won any friends though, for the way we played on terrestrial telly. Compared to the other cup ties, it was a dreadful game.
exactly its gone against us enough this year notably the replay vs wigan so glad this time it went in our favour
we didnt really timewaste, powell is 37 - he can hardly walk without his zimmer frame - yet alone run. booking foster wa wrong, it was only the second time he did it, maybe warn powell and him verbally first, than book the if they do it again
How did it look to u lot on the telly, i was there and thought the ref was poo for most of the game. Some absolutely rediculous decisions went against us. But still, we got the goal that mattered and all left happy
the ref was shocking though our performance looked probably a lot worse on tv than it did actually down there
This was one game where the result was so much more important than the performance. It is a fantastic achievement. But I think Plymouth also deserve credit for the spirit they showed, you could see how important the game was to their players and fans, but in the end we did all we had to do - nothing more, nothing less.
Im sorry but it was a dreadfull performance,we had 1 shot until the 79min and we scored from that. The Ref to me gave every decision to them, challenges I saw were fine,and it the ref blew up and gave them against us. I still thought we were shocking and were lucky to win outright.
just got from the game and having read the stats of 29 fouls committed was enough to tell me that the ref was a joke . I now know how the ip***** fans felt !! But who really cares now ...not me were going to wemberly Watford to play Blackburn in the semis
This is not sour grapes........... but the Ref and at least one of his linos was a complete joke :rant: :rant: Most of the decisions they gave were appallingly one sided, I can remember at least three clear 100% stone wall fouls against our forwards in what would have been good goal scoring positions that were not given :sign3: However, the slightest touch on a Plymouth player and the whistle would blow, if I didn't no better I would swear they were on the Plymouth pay roll Still despite all we've made it arty2: arty2: arty2: So..........Come on you O'rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrnnnnnnnnnnnnssssssss:notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:
the ref was influened by the crowd - eg. where chambers HAD THE BALL adn let it go abit far so slid for it, succesfully, and got ******booked! :rant: bbc still liiked him though :
We were bloody appalling.... people keep banging on about the performance doesnt matter but its only a heap of luck and Ben Foster thats seen us through. Rubbish.... absolute rubbish! .
we weren't that lucky, we had good performances from shittu, if you look at it like that you could say we were lucky last season cos of king and young.
Ive seen too many disgraceful performances from the Horns this season.... that was right up there. ......... further proof that Mahon and Francis should be booted out of the club. Complete and utter garbage... mahon only shades it as he is recently putting on a fairly decent impersonation of a defender. Im sorry guys, that was by far our luckiest game this season and theres absolutely no way we deserve to be in the next round. .
Well done...what is the prize for stating the obvious that we were lucky? We seemed to actually panic when going in front and just kept on hoofing the ball anywhere. Francis and Mahon just cannot play with each other in central midfield. I know Williams could not play but at least he seems able to put a foot on the ball and pass. It was the sort of game for people to get stuck in and we did not do much of that apart from Shittu.
lol, yet again with digs at mahon. marriappa, smith, priskin, kabba, francis worse than him. I honestly couldnt care less how we played, we're through, i honestly couldnt care what any viewers of the bbc or pundits of the bbc thought of us, we're in the semi final whether they f****g like it or not
even if we played fantastic then the press would still slate us and say how their only a hampionship side who we should beat anyway i love the fact were in the semi-finals and everyone hates us for being there and blaming it on our luck 90 minutes away from europe!
