The Football.....

[Dave7]

My boys were dreadful tonight and still managed to beat Pompey 3 - 0. Boy, Portsmouth are bad, shockingly bad. I've been reading on the BBC website comments from Portsmouth fans they were denied to nailed on penalties. I was at the game and neither I, nor the people I sit with, saw anything like two potential penalties.

You made a comment in 'the old farts' thread about watching a field of grass for 90 minutes. I didn't comment as I didn't understand what you meant.
Please explain to this ignorant scouser

Of course Dave, as a red you'll never have suffered these sort of evenings. 🤣 Usually in November. Cold, damp, foggy, dark. You leave home knowing the game will be dreadful, your own boys will be grim and you'll shiver for 90 minutes. You've seen it all before!

Rovers opened with 10 -15 minutes of good football, we settled back feeling confident, then we lost our way and got worse and worse. I was sure we would gift Portsmouth a goal by half time and then lose. The start of the second half was brighter. Brittain floated over what looked like a dreadful cross only for Gueye to nod it in from a difficult angle. From that point Pompey offered nothing and we ran out easy winners despite being very poor.

I'm a supporter, never miss a game no matter what. It's miserable nights like these that earn those 90 minutes of unbridled joy when we play well!

That's what it's all about. Deep down we both know that.
