that's a ridiculous statement

the game would have gone differently if they hadn't have got the own goal. They would have probably attacked more and pushed forward more, so may easily have scored anyway - given the pressure they were putting us under.

That's like saying we would have only drawn away to Ipswich if the Grabban goal had rightly been given as offside. You can't isolate a goal and ignore the effect it has had on the rest of the game.

        Your terrible view of the game (NCFC) - SCC 28, Apr 18, 11:35:51
