Carlisle v Northampton (Saturday 11th)

I agree that when shots are close and they hit a hand they shouldn’t be given, but in this case it’s not ball to hand, your player has stuck his hand up to block the shot. Clear hand ball and penalty for me.

The one a couple of seconds before that looked like handball too from where I was. Can't tell which part of his body that one hit on the highlights but he had his arms up and it definitely hit part of him.

So if we don't finish 16th instead of 17th this season, then it will be because we did not beat you after being robbed by the ref not giving us a penalty which we would hopefully of scored.

The Northampton forum makes for amusing reading. Mostly they're debating whether their keeper was at fault for the goals, and a certain contingent are absolutely convinced that Devitt's shot for the opener was straight down the middle and the keeper dived out of the way of the ball.

This gem is my favourite
'You're kidding right? It went down the middle, look at the shadow for goodness sake! '

Of course, this proves it as you will all know that with Carlisle being on the equator, the sun should be directly overhead in the mid-afternoon at this time of year. It's basic science y'all.

It's pretty entertaining though, last time I checked there were two whole pages about whether the ball went down the middle or to the side.
