That was hell of a free kick to be fair if I had my neutral hat on deserved a goal with my Argyle bobble hat on the follow up miss
Gotta get small pleasures per game..
Is it?!
Why would you so adamantly claim it was a penalty and go on a whinge about the ref not giving it if you hadn't seen a replay?
Not ridiculous . If the fans are on the team’s back the little confidence they have will disappear. Even the sight of fans leaving in droves before the end does not help. Like it or not shouting abuse, booing etc is counterproductive in us trying to stay in the championship.
we are fully behind the players it's the coaching staff deservedly getting grief and this happens at every struggling club in the world.

The manager determines the big picture stuff, whether or not we are competitive. They don’t have a play station controller and can’t do anything about the fine margins that decided the game yesterday.
We gave everything against a team bang in form with a wage bill probably three or four times our own. Our record signing is their cast off.
Nitpicking about the subs is the equivalent of the guy at the fans forum earlier in the season moaning about the price of his hat. It was a good performance that would maintain the mid table level form we’ve shown away from home under Foster if replicated over the season.
The issue is the home form. I fear that after a 700 mile round trip, a morale sapping defeat and lacking the squad depth to mix things up it will continue to be an issue on Monday.

If you look at the footage when Devine gets substituted Foster has a word with him and then looks very frustrated, shaking his head. I've no doubt that chat was regarding the penalty shout and Devine is adamant he was fouled and therefore a penalty. Just a theory.
FWIW I think it was a penalty. Soft, yes, but contact was made and I have seen enough of them given over the years. But I was not surprised it was waved away. I can't recall 1 bad tackle in the game but when you have a referee booking 7 players, eight bookings if you include Foster, from 1 team and no bookings for the other team then there is a good case for calling the ref a 'homer'.
Definitely not a pen. Devine left his trailing leg behind to make sure it made contact with the keeper.
I just can't see what Devine brings to the party.
All three teams that get relegated this season will have changed manager at least once, surely that suggests there's a limit to what the person in the hot seat can do.
For example, I'm a big fan of Ryan Hardie, but I genuinely believe I would have got closer to scoring than he did with the 1 v 1 chance he had at Blackburn, the kind of chance that he has usually buried for Argyle in the past. No amount of motivation can substitute for whatever it was that caused him to miss on that occasion.

No it isn’t. Against Preston the fans gave up on 70 mins and started singing songs about how poo the football is when we were 1 down. I can 100% guarantee you that did not help the team.
Morning, hope we have all calmed down following yesterdays crazy game. The match yesterday had a lot of chances for both teams. The game unfortunately ended in a 2-1 defeat despite some cracking chances! Below you will find stats comparing both teams attacks and also a poll.
These above stats suggest our chances were of higher quality and more dangerous and that a lot of Norwich's were wasted. The score line along side the stats, suggest a new no.9 may be required.

The same way you or I would immediately after attending a game without seeing any replays ?
The same way we're all berating the refs without knowing his reasoning for decisions?
Maybe, he just thought it was a penalty. Nothing more complicated than that perhaps.
We get it, we seriously do. You don't like Foster and will chase any stick or gnaw any bone you can.
