Over the course of a season these things do (hopefully) even out, Pete.
We've already had one or two equally marginal calls go against us this season.
What better day to have one going OUR way?
None of their players seem to complain. Either they agreed, or they really weren't bothered.
That Dean Ashton bloke was wittering on about it too. One inconclusive angle and suddenly their opinion is more valid than the referees...

Radio Devon main commentator kept getting Jake Taylor and Archie Collins mixed up, and also Aaron Martin and Tom Parkes.

Christmas Eve 1925, the Exeter and Plymouth Gazette reported this in their match preview before Exeter's 4-9 win at St James Park and the 2-2 on Boxing Day at Home Park.

With the Pilgrims heading Third Division (Southern Section) and the Grecians second from the bottom, it seems long odds on the former gathering all the points. No matter how the contests are viewed, one can only arrive the conclusion that Argyle will win handsomely. Football, and especially holiday football, made of surprises; however, the Grecians may be able gain point or two. If they do not will serious matter for the Club. Still optimism is all right, and one welcomes it, but imagine that the Pilgrims will be defeated ridiculous

There's a knuckle dragger on Pasoti now claiming that "the second goal was a fluke. It took a clear deflection..."
Yes "TonyD", the cross did take a "clear deflection" - off Tom Parkes' head and into the net.
And if you couldn't even see that from "20 metres" away I seriously suggest that an urgent appointment at Specsavers is in order.
Oh, and PS. What were you doing 20 metres away? The BIG Bank is, and always will be, a designated area for home fans, not Janners.

I see the same Tony D is claiming that Joel Grant would have put them back in with a shout at 2-1 had it not been for a nasty bobble. That's a strange thing to call a goal saving tackle from Aaron Martin.

Has Gordon Sparkes found the internet?

Is he PeteUSA in disguise?

Perhaps KMT should write to the EFL insisting that the points be awarded to the Cornish on the grounds that, as such a massive club, they deserve them?
After all, it's the only fair thing to do!

Was the "nasty bobble" the one on the top of the gr**n and white wooly hat that his mumsy knitted for him especially for the match?
