    Some players have the game of their lives but that lad had a belter today.
    He was the difference between them winning and us winning.
    You simply have to give him his due and admit that we couldn't have done any more to win.
    Remember Luke Steele at Liverpool, **** happens and we couldn't do anything else today !
    The only positive from the fans point of view was that Wensdeh are in meltdown and I'd settle for a playoff against them at Wembleh.

    World class save, and didn’t even have gloves on!

    Which goalkeeper? Their 2nd one that saved the shot early in the first half?

    Couldn’t work out if he was good or lucky. Certainly lucky when the “second keeper” saved one for him.

    Well they say decisions like we had go against us today will even themselves out over the season so I’m expecting about 4 penalties to be awarded to us during the playoffs

    A shoot out is probably our only hope of a pen

    I’m not sure we’d get one even then.

    I'll be happy if we get one. In the last minute of injury time to beat the Wendies...

    Should have had at least another 10 minutes added on, he was time wasting from the 48th minute.

    They don't.

    There was debate on here about the free kick for the first goal against Morcambe being "one that we got away with" but if you watch it carefully, Kane rolls the ball backwards with his studs and it catches his standing foot. However, the foot that first makes contact with the ball remains in contact throughout and is the last part of Kane in contact with the ball before Connell took his shot. We got away with nothing.

    I have a theory.

    The mandatory red card for a goal-line handball makes the awarding of a penalty in such circumstances a really difficult one for the referee. If it wasn't a mandatory red card, I reckon he would have given the penalty and booked Brayford.

    It's just a theory, you're welcome to dispute it but it explains all the facts, therefore, until somebody comes up with a better theory which explains the observational evidence better than mine, I'll go with it.

    Not difficult as far as I can see. Brayford committed a serious foul in that he prevented a certain goal. It might have been instinctive rather than malicious but it was a foul and should, therefore, have incurred the double punishment. I just can't imagine what the ref thought he saw. Maybe he thought it hit the chest even though the defender almost dived to save it. A definite move to his right anyway, with both body and his right arm. Good save. Keeper would have been praised had he done the same.

    He was very good to be fair. Cheating aside.

    Whilst your argument has merit, You've not convinced me that it explains why he didn't give the penalty.

    As far as I can see there are only two alternative theories which fit the facts, 1) the referee had temporary blindness and literally didn't see the incident or 2) he's been paid by Burton Albion to not make decisions against them.

    But why would the ref be fearful of sending him off? His reason would be easily justified; its cheating and thus against the rules

    That’s like saying the police didn’t arrest a bloke who had committed murder in front of a whole host of witnesses because he would have been executed rather than just getting a prison sentence
