Re: FT: Newport 0 - 1 Morecambe
Awful decisions for the 2 pens but Labadie should have buried that chance.
Sheehan will likely leave on a free now, worth a punt for us on a sensible one or two year deal?

No. Not good enough even as back up We need to improve our midfield and the current lot are miles better than him.
Put Pack in one of those sides today and hed look like Pirlo.
Re: FT: Newport 0 - 1 Morecambe
what a poncey cheating dive
Dreadful refereeing
There is something to be said for being a dominant promotion side as we were under Eddie May
The play offs are a nightmare
Re: FT: Newport 0 - 1 Morecambe
Newport is easily big enough to sustain a league one side , even perhaps a lower level championship club
The team that won today will soon drop back down
Re: FT: Newport 0 - 1 Morecambe
Morecambe will be bottom of League 1 next season, and Newport would have too if they'd gone up.
Re: FT: Newport 0 - 1 Morecambe
Newport should have had a penalty in the first half and Morecambe should never have had their penalty. I know there are many criticisms of VAR but had it been available Newport could well have won that match.
Re: FT: Newport 0 - 1 Morecambe
nothing wrong with VAR and to me should be used in play off finals
Re: FT: Newport 0 - 1 Morecambe
County only have themselves to blame. Between December and March they hardly won a game. In the end, I was surprised they actually got to the play offs.That was an achievement in itself.
Re: FT: Newport 0 - 1 Morecambe
Morecambe can be expected to set a League One record for the fewest points gained while finishing 24th.

If the ref wasn't Bobby Madley they would have won. I don't know what your experience of him was like, but he certainly didn't like us. When I saw the decisions today I thought he might be anti Welsh, because he was definitely biased against Newport.

I don't tend to be one for anti Welsh conspiracy theories when it comes to referees, but, leaving the penalty incidents aside, I thought Madley favoured Morecambe throughout the game, so, in view of what you said, I had a look at his record in matches involving Welsh teams on Soccerbase.
As he had spent so much of his career in the Premier League before his suspension, he's taken charge of more of your games than any other Welsh side (as far as I can tell, he's never reffed a Wrexham game) and your record in those matches is won four, drawn two and lost eight. However, this rather reflected your form over the period, because early on as you were challenging for promotion and then settling into the Premier League with few alarms, you did well when he was in charge, but as you began to struggle every season, so the losses piled up.
We've won two of the six matches Madley has reffed us in, with the only defeat coming in a game against Wolves in which they had a player sent off, so we've not done bad under him, whereas County have only had him in charge for two games this season since his fall from grace saw him reduced to the lower leagues - they lost 4-2 at home to Oldham in December at a time when they were going really well and then there was yesterday.
So, it looks like cock up wins over conspiracy as far as Madley is concerned and it was just County's bad luck that he had a stinker of a game - for me, he was the main reason why the match finished as it did.
Re: FT: Newport 0 - 1 Morecambe
Madleys performance was terrible.
However diving cheating players dont help.
Swansea were the worst ive seen with this and a certain Welsh International and his screaming and rolling around trying to get people cards.

During the game yesterday it flashed up County's top four goal scorers this season but two had been on loan and recalled halfway through the year - they've basically built two sides this season.
County's pitch was awful for a period of time, eventually they were giving the relief of switching games to Cardiff, which meant the passing football they played for much of yesterday couldn't happen.
There are details behind the stats you're giving there.

About time that sort of behavior was punished with more than a yellow card. Time for the introduction of a sin bin, or something more extreme? There should definitely be no place for it in the game.

Thanks for the research and the heads up. It may be his over dramatic refusal of a penalty against Stoke which has coloured my perception.

Has a winning manager been more bitter than Derek Adams.
