Scunthorpe have hit a mini nay microscopic revival, with two consecutive draws, so I'll go for a 1-0 to Rovers

I'm going for, and will definitely take a 1-1 draw!

Lets go for 2-0 rovers

0-0

With Andy Robbo itching to get on from the bench I'm going for Scunny 1 Tranny 2 with Robbo scoring a late winner.

Just seen that Scunthorpe boss Alan Knill recommended Tiryaki to Les. Wonder if Tiryaki can do to them what Buchanan did against Russell Slade's Leyton Orient.

more concerned to be up against Daggers ! hope Ash looks after him.

muzzy muzzy muzzy

Hey 1-0 up via Mustafabut looks like he`s still got to improve that dancing

Yes 1-0 on 4 minutes- Tiryaki. Cheers for the recommendation Alan Knill!

1-1 Duffy on 20mins

xcellent muzzy

Get in! Tiryaki again. 2-1 on 32 mins. Is his dancing improving with all this practice?

He`s getting his dancing practice in is our Mustafa lets hope he get`s his hat trick and he can start dancing on his hat(if he`s got one),Oh hellthey have just pulled it back 2-2.

2-2 Grant on 44 mins.

C'mon Tranmere !!!

2-3 down. Chris Dagnall.

Seems Ash Taylor has a momentof sleep and blow me down Dagnall slips passed him and scores now 3-2 downstill time for Mustafa to get his third.

TEN MEN ! ha c'mon lads

That`s a blow Baxter off red card so he will now miss three games and Scun just got a penalty so we are 4-2 now so this one is over.

Struggling to keep up here! Baxter off and penalty conceded. 4-2 down. Keep your heads and keep it tight now lads!

shame to loose the game but ! not too botherred !

Disappointing, especially Baxter being out for the next 3 games, but on the positive Tiryaki seems to be getting his eye in which could be important. Other results went well for us with Hartlepool and Preston losing. Also Notts County lost so we could still potentially overtake them or MK Dons in the next game.

Taking 3 points from two away games is not bad better than 2 out of 6 of course it comes over better two draws so no defeats in a run of games but our points total ends up with 1 more point of course it would have been nice if we could have won this one or at least have finished as a draw, oh well onwards and upwards the only downer is or will be Baxter`s three match ban

Agreed.

The real blow is that we will now see a good slice of Baxters additional month taken up by suspension

Was it a second yellow or a straight red. Did he deserve to be sent off!

It was a straight red

main downer loosing Baxter is after a drout of resrve games we'll need every man next month !

Straight red and wasn't even a foul on original viewing (not seen a replay like but it reminded me of Rodwell's red card - can perhaps see why the referee gave it, it looked like he lunged, but there was nothing in it to warrant a red)

As for the penalty, Goodison fouled him BUT he had just been raped by that guy who was all over him.

I have read Parry's comments on the sending off and cannot make head or tail of what he's talking about. If it's how you say Mikey then we should appeal but again it looks like he's complaining about the ref but going to do nothing about the decision.

What Les is saying is, the Referee may haev not done much wrong on big decisions, but Les could'nt see those things properly and would need another look.

What he did say was, the Referee didn't make some good decisions during the buildup to big decisions, I.E. the number 17 ripping at Goodisons shirt, which he should have sene and dealt with, then Goodison wouldn't have been in a position to foul the guy.

It seems the ref could have dealt with things he missed, that preceeded big decisions. Les's issue being the big decisions were not necessarily wrong ones, but if he'd dealt with other issues leading up to the bigger ones, then the bigger ones may not have needed to be made.

I see his point. I means if you pull the number 17 up short for too much contatc on Goodison and award a free kick to Tranmere, Goodiosn wouldn't foul him, but in itself the foul would appear to be a correct decision.

It's a pity about Baxter and he may need to learn from that if indeed any fault can be attached, but Robbo has just proven what he could do on Tuesday for 15 minutes, so anothrer week to prep and maybe he'll be ready for at least a full on 60 minutes at least, with maybe someone like Labadie or Power subbed on, assuming he could play the full 90 against Colchester.

Tiryaki has done a really good job and it seems he could be the answer to the mild scoring exploits of the person in the lone front man position and from what I read it looks like his second was a really top nothc effort.

I think Enoch should be benched next week after that, to keep Tiryaki's ability to build up some potential form intact.

if he gets used in fits and spurts again, then it could cost Tranmere more Tiryaki goals. I'd think Tiryaki warrents another 2-3 starts now at least.

who was it who's expert opinion damned Muzzy not so long back ???

How is it that he says the ref had a poor game but may not have done much wrong on the big decisions? Also if he was too far away to see whether the big decisions were right,would he not also be too far away to see the alleged fouls in the immediate build up to those big decisions?

Just seen the highlights and stand by my original comments.

Absolutely diabolical refereeing, the guy should be fined and banned from refereeing for the next weekend or something.

These kind of (frequent) incidents prove why the FA's respect campaign is flawed in every way. How can someone demand respect when they are so terrible at their job.

I saw it too and have to say I'd have to see both incidents again to be sure-it's difficult to be a ref. Was this the same guy we had at home to Wycombe? I don't recall any problems in that game.

Anybody who went to the match did it look like we could get back in to the game before Jose Baxter was sent off? I missed most of the second half commentary. I was having a nightmare trying to listen to Tranmere player till I switched to Google chrome which is now my default browser.
Cheers.

Watched the sending off this morning on the TV and its the old "jumping in scenario". Referees are instructed to send off players as law states "A player is guilty of serious foul play if he uses excessive force or brutality against an opponent when challenging for the ball when it is in play". Any player who lunges at an opponent from the front, side or behind using one or both legs which endangers the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play. Take the punishment and move on.

Dont moan Les the lads young and got a bright future ahead of him

Complete Jekyll and Hyde performance that really wasnt helped by some very poor refereeing decisions. There first goal quite simply wasnt a free kick although we defended very poorly. Muzzy's second was a belter however we were very slow to close down the lad for the equaliser although it was a very good finish.
Second half the ref lost the plot and went through a twenty minute period of giving every decision their way. Although we looked a very different team after the break and it was no surprise when they took the lead. Our defense that has looked so solid had a real off day with Goody the main culprit.
Baxters red should never have happened as there were at least 2 clear fouls in the seconds leading up to the incident. The tackle itself was certainly not the worst of the afternoon with a tackle on Akins lucky not to of broke his leg.
The ref also had a mare in the build up to the penalty although Goody could have dealt with the situation before it came to that.
All in all although we fell victim to some bad decisions ultimately it was poor defensive work that cost us the game. Can I also say that some of our 'fans' are a disgrace the way they behave and seem to believe they have the right to do whatever they like. Also if you want to chant and scream at an opposition player and he gives some back to you man up a bit, if you cant take it dont dole it out!

It seems like we lost our way in the second half, both in the way we played and in our discipline. Bit of a shame after a good opening 45 minutes. Goody could have gone as well for moaning at the ref when already on a yellow, should know better.

Hopefully the defence goes back to normal from next week, as conceding 4 is unusual for us. Let's hope its just a blip.

film on bbc not great for the sending off ! but eventually had to laugh that there lad got away with the chalenge on was it Robbo ?

I can see Les's point on the Goodison penalty. Someone is clinging onto his arm and is not flagged for it.

Goodison gives the foul there's not doubt, but if the Ref awards a free kick, for the Scunthorpe player manhandling him, it's a possible yellow for the player and no foul scenario.

Possibly even a Tranmere goal on the counter, but that's wishful thinking.

However his inability to catch the Scunthorpe player out, resulted in a situation that caused Tranmere a two goal disadvantage.

I think the referee may need to be a little more savvy in future, or go to a refresher course.

Then I ate his Liver.......... with some baked beans and a can of coke.

in my opinion i think a diffrent ref it could have been the scunthorpe player being sent off not baxter i dont see how the first challange isnt even a free kick but the second is a free kick and red card
