not so sure about that. He would have had to have changed his style as well, which was very recognisable.bluessupporter wrote: ↑Sun Jan 25, 2026 11:10 amHe might have re-registered under another name. Quite a few seem to have done that lately.
Completely agree about backing off - they've done it all season. It's plain for all to see, apart it seems from the coaching staff both under Gallagher and his predecessor. The opposition see this as well and take advantage.
Just watched our disallowed goal again and as I thought on first viewing it's the ref that has made the decision not the linesman.blue nige wrote: ↑Sun Jan 25, 2026 11:47 am Just forced myself to watch the highlights disallowed goal Rose is offside when it's played back he's directly infront of their keeper doesn't touch it but the referee was directly behind it all ,whether we like it or not according to the rules most referees will disallow these goals, I would have been mad if Crawley had scored one like that.
Their goal ,Rose wasn't fouled, then Anderson showed his inexperience by diving in when there was no need to ,but then Raglan inexplicably doesn't try to close the man down this has happened too many times this season our defender's back off too much, most goals we concede can be avoided, it's basic defending no wonder we can't keep clean sheets!
I froze the picture as the ball is about to be kicked Rose is definitely offside the line on the penalty area clearly shows this !farington blue wrote: ↑Sun Jan 25, 2026 12:46 pmJust watched our disallowed goal again and as I thought on first viewing it's the ref that has made the decision not the linesman.blue nige wrote: ↑Sun Jan 25, 2026 11:47 am Just forced myself to watch the highlights disallowed goal Rose is offside when it's played back he's directly infront of their keeper doesn't touch it but the referee was directly behind it all ,whether we like it or not according to the rules most referees will disallow these goals, I would have been mad if Crawley had scored one like that.

VAR would have had to draw the lines to see if Rose was offside so in real time the linesman couldn't be certain and didn't flag. How can the ref make that decision when he's not in line.
Once again we have been let down by the officials.
You may be right Nige but my point is that the decision was made by the ref and not the linesmanblue nige wrote: ↑Sun Jan 25, 2026 1:52 pmI froze the picture as the ball is about to be kicked Rose is definitely offside the line on the penalty area clearly shows this !farington blue wrote: ↑Sun Jan 25, 2026 12:46 pm

Yeah I get that but the referee had a clear view and he’s made the decision that Rose was in the keepers view it's one of those decisions that either go your way or they don't!farington blue wrote: ↑Sun Jan 25, 2026 2:18 pmYou may be right Nige but my point is that the decision was made by the ref and not the linesman
It was a harsh decision, Rose didn’t impede the keepers view of the first shot, nor of the second ball. Besides, look where the ref is, how could he possibly have seen Rose was offside. He was quick to make his decision without even consulting the linesman.blue nige wrote: ↑Sun Jan 25, 2026 11:47 am Just forced myself to watch the highlights disallowed goal Rose is offside when it's played back he's directly infront of their keeper doesn't touch it but the referee was directly behind it all ,whether we like it or not according to the rules most referees will disallow these goals, I would have been mad if Crawley had scored one like that.

Watch the goal again Jonty the referee was going to give it but he looks to the linesman for confirmation and he raised his flag don't forget they are all miked up and usually talk to each other!,Rose is definitely offside just move on and accept it ,bad defending cost us yesterday not the officials!Jonty wrote: ↑Sun Jan 25, 2026 2:46 pmIt was a harsh decision, Rose didn’t impede the keepers view of the first shot, nor of the second ball.
