This should so have been a BT game. I'm stuck watching Wigan Vs West Ham with Tranmere on the radio.

just listened to mickys post match interview, he didn't seem too happy with some of the refs decisions. reckoned that Rovers edged it and said their keeper was busier than ours. I listened to wirral radio and they said that norwood wasn't at his best and was suffering a bit with the flu.

You mean the goalie that conceded two open play goals rather than the one who concede one in open play and had to face a penalty?

We were clearly the better footballing side for 90% of the game. We looked the only side likely to win it. I personally thought Wrexham would put us under more pressure and their style of play was unattractive for most of the game. Another decision goes against us for their penalty; their players and the crowd didn't ask for anything (significant if you ask me) just a massive celebration when they were given it. I'll take the draw with a tinge of disappointment as the game was there for the taking. If I'm allowed to say it, Taylor didn't fill me with confidence today; he does have one of the best defenses in the league in front of him for those who want to quote statistics.
Just a word about the organisation, Wrexham FC, policing and crowd "control" today; shambolic. Police blaming licensees, licensees blaming the police for no entry to pubs, then told some licensees would let people in. Queuing outside the locked turnstiles well after the official opening times. Apparently not enough seats as fans were standing on the steps for the game; it was in fact our stewards controlling this which meant no choice but to stand for most of the game (not a problem for me, but difficult for my 75 year old father-in-law). Coming out of the ground we were shepherded away from the main road towards the on-coming Wrexham fans as the coach had been told to park in the university car park; quite tense when the two sets of fans met gridlocked in the passageway with a number of aggressive comments flying around. To top it all, a member of North Wales police was authoritatively directing fans in one direction for the train station whilst a little further along another officer was directing them back the other way; you couldn't make it up.
We haven't lost ground with regards to pole position which is a real positive and overall a very good performance from the lads today.

+1
The only times I was able to sit down were before the game and at half time.I couldn't believe it when we were forced away from the main road and towards the Wrexham fans after the game whether we were on a coach or not[I wasn't].
And trying to get through past the station towards the centre of town was a shambles.

Not a bad result, but no ground gained all the same. As for Raven playing for them. I don't think he should ever have been released and I thought Mellon might have tried to bring him in, as he can play anywhere in the back

Defended Taylor when he signed, but after today, who bad must pilling be. Taylor was shocking, he only had a couple of things to do and did them badly. Nor missed a golden 1 on 1 again and a class save from there keeper from cookie in the first half the difference.
Don't think they will be in the mix come the end of the season, bu will we, only time will tell.

I'm never one to judge a ref's decision given how hard the job can be and i'll keep it brief but how on earth was that a penalty?
Seen it so many times now and the gesture that the ref gives to Sutton as his explanation is that he elbows Pearson.
When, where, how and what?!?
I understand if he's said that he grabbed him and forced him to the ground but it's just such an odd call that i had to get it off my chest.
Would've taken the point though even if i thought we could beat them and tbf feel that we should've, still happy though not to lose any ground with a good run-in to come up.
Let's keep going!

The whole of the crowd and all of the players had no idea why the pen was given.
Having looked at the video several times, which the referee doesn't have the luxury of, it appears that Sutton's right arm was over Pearson's left shoulder when they challenged for the ball. The referee must question how this came about and it is evident that it is two players legitimately jostling for space and position. It appears that Sutton did not pull, push, deliberately hinder or grab Pearson.. it's just how they both arrived for the aerial challenge. Sutton won the joust and headed clear. It could be argued that Pearson put himself in that position and then fell over.
Nobody in the ground thought that it was malpractice apart from the referee.
I am loathe to criticize refs because it is an impossible job and I have done it at Junior level with great reports until I jacked it in because I couldn't be arsed with the unjustified flack.
However, I think 99% of referees would'nt have given that penalty.

The ref at Anfield watched VAR and still gave a ridiculous penalty so we can’t complain to much. We are non league the refs are essentially tier 5 refs, they are relatively in experienced and not professional, we didn’t win because we didn’t take chances not because the ref gave a penalty. In fairness to the ref Sutton has his arm round their lads shoulders, that could go either way any week, if we give the ref a decision to make at times it will go against us. Cook fouled their goalie in the run up to the corner so it’s all equal anyway.

You fail to add that there was a blatant push on Cook in the penalty area early in the game; all I'd like to see is consistency. At what level in life does accountability stop.

As Bill Shankly used to say, It was a penalty because the ref gave it, they all equal out over the season.
It also doesn’t help when the manager makes ridiculous statements such as “Cook went for a diving header and fell off the pitch resulting in a booking”. Well that’s the funniset falling off a pitch I’ve ever seen. If he refers to slowly walked towards and climbed over the hoardings in celebration. What is that refs attitude going to be towards us next time he officiates us after hearing comments like that when it’s clear as day a yellow card.
