'It was Human Error'

lovely article - tickled my funny bone :-)

In a macabre sort of way I am looking forward to seeing this on the highlights, sounds an unbelievable decision

I don't buy all this "It wasn't the ref's fault" nonsense that has been coming out over the weekend, he should only consult the linesman (sorry assistant referee) if he needs to check whether the ball has crossed the line. The fact that it was nowhere near and none of the players appealed should tell him to use common-sense and realise the lino is mistaken.... Also thought Reading were very sly about the whole thing and Coppell could've stepped in. However, I have to say that it galvanised the Golden boys and we really picked up after that point. Also, Seeing Doyle take out Poom (very bad challenge - totally unpunished and not shown on ITV) makes me realise how lightweight we are - with Hendo now departed. These last 3 games have really reset sights for the season and my hopes of top half & run for the playoffs are wildly over optimistic. Still it was a great game and the Boys battled well after a shaky start, with Tommy Smith back to his best and Hoskins really putting himself about.... The recent form of McAnuff is a concern however, as is Ainsworth's attempts to play on the left wing when he clearly can only play on the right. He has pace but is so obviously unable to go past & cross on the outside when playing on the left. Reading soon worked it out and he was "shown the outside" every time. Worked hard though so can't fault his effort. Should I expect more for 1/2Million?

Still in total shock about the goal, i was right behind the linesman and if i had had a gun, i would have shot the Bas~!#!.
