And whilst on the Yeovil theme does anyone else still feel robbed of that fa cup match that produced not the top, but one of the most diabolical decisions I've ever witnessed at a diamonds game which resulted in us being knocked out the cup. The Yeovil lad walking back with nobody around him clearly impeding joes view was not classed as offside and interfering with play

To this day I still cannot see how Dean Bowditch was not interfering with play - one of the worst refereeing decisions ever

Seen plenty of worse decisions, but yes still annoyed, of course he was interfering with play.

If your referring to Brownie's post, it was Michael mcelhatton

and that tw@t matt smith on the highlights said, 'common sense prevailed there'. He was clearly in the vision of the keeper and interfering with play. i was telling my mate this at the last match.

What made it such an appalling, infuriating decision was the fact that the lino could see Bowditch was interfering, and flagged him offside, only for the c*** with the whistle to overrule him! Still makes my blood boil!

And I used to like Matt Smith until that ridiculous comment; shows he clearly doesn't have a clue about football. Knob.

I'm convinced we'd have stayed up if we'd won that.
