Cherries: Penalty mystery in Gigg Lane draw
5:00pm Saturday 24th November 2012 in Sport
By Neil Perrett
REFEREE Carl Boyeson took centre stage as Cherries battled out an incident-packed 2-2 draw at Gigg Lane today.
The Hull-based official awarded Cherries a second-half penalty for handball – and then promptly changed his mind after consulting his assistant.
Boyeson took an age to point to the spot after two Bury defenders had climbed at the far post to meet a cross from Simon Francis.
However, following a chat with his assistant, who was on the opposite side of the pitch, Boyeson instead awarded a corner.
Cherries twice came from behind to earn a share of the spoils, with goals from Lewis Grabban and Brett Pitman cancelling out efforts from Troy Hewitt and David Worrall.
Boss Howe made one change to the Cherries starting line-up with Matt Tubbs drafted in for Lee Barnard, the Southampton loan striker dropping to the bench.
New loan signing Pitman was also named among the Cherries substitutes following his midweek move from Bristol City.
Simon Francis carved out the first shooting chance for the visitors following a run down the right but Lewis Grabban’s saw his effort blocked.
Hewitt volleyed the Shakers into a 14th-minute lead when he arrived to meet Matt Doherty’s inch-perfect cross at the near post.
David James raced off his line to beat Hewitt to a through ball before Josh McQuoid’s penalty appeal fell on deaf ears after he had gone to ground under an Ethan Ebanks-Landell challenge.
James pulled off a top-drawer save to turn a Peter Sweeney free-kick around the post before Doherty lifted a shot over the crossbar from the resultant corner.
Cherries had an escape after 39 minutes when roving full-back Doherty saw his thumping goalbound header blocked on the line.
Grabban had an early second-half chance saved by Carson before referee Boyeson staggered Cherries and their followers by changing his mind over the penalty decision.
However, Howe’s men stuck to their task and levelled in the 59th minute when Grabban netted his seventh goal of the season, the striker sweeping home a low cross from Daniels.
Miles Addison’s header from a Pugh corner was hacked off the line before Tubbs’s strike at the near post was blocked by a defender.
Bury regained the lead when Worrall nipped in ahead of James to score after his initial effort had been charged down by MacDonald.
However, Pitman had the final say when he bagged an equaliser, the striker curling the ball past Carson after he had robbed Ebanks-Landell.
Cherries: James, Francis, Addison, Elphick, Daniels, McQuoid (McDermott, 82), MacDonald, Arter (O’Kane, 86), Pugh, Tubbs (Pitman, 73), Grabban.
Unused subs: Fogden, Barnard, Cook, Jalal (g/k).

Shakers: Carson, Doherty, Ebanks-Landell, Hughes, Skarz, Worrall, Thompson, Sweeney, Soares, Hewitt, Hopper (John-Lewis, 79). Unused subs: Carrington, C Jones, A Jones, Sodje, Belford (g/k).
Attendance: 2,541 (including 259 visiting supporters).

With a bit more luck today and Tuesday we could of slaughtered both Stevenage and Bury. Still, we're unbeaten since Eddie's return. If only we could play for 90 minutes the way we do for the last 45. Well done Brett and the rest of the team, Carlisle now stand between us possibly getting a Big Club in the Cup... UTCIAD
The report makes it sound like you had bad luck today. Looking at the fixtures for DECEMBER , i think you will pick up points in all the games. This should put you in the top six by Christmas which would make a very enjoyable festive period. Keep the Faith and win your cup game next week.

Brett by the end of the season your goals should only cost us £100 each (not including your wages of course!!)
Well done the lads. UTCIAD

Their first goal was their first real attack, we'd looked pretty comfortable until then. For the rest of the half they were the better team and pressed hard to stop us playing.
2nd half much better, We played with more pace and much more penetration. Penalty decision was weird so felt like justice had been done when we scored. We hit the post and had a goal line clearance before they scored pretty much out of the blue.
Brett's goal came from a defensive mix up but he showed what a good finisher he is. Pugh then hit the bar in the dying minutes - how sweet would that have been!

hedge end bob wrote:WHAT!! and end up being the catalyst to turning your season around if you were to beat us in round 3, no thank you LOL... We need to play for more than the last 45 minutes. Bit by bit Eddie is sorting the squad out and Brett can make his own goals out of nothing, which is an added bonus. I don't fear any team in this league, but we won't have it all our own way, far from it...

But please Harry shut up!!!!
I get an immense amount of pleasure from watching Harry Arter play. I think he is probably the most talented player in the squad, but Gordon Bennett, Harry you've got to learn to walk away and zip it! A good point away from home shame it wasn't all three.

I really didn't want Pitman back, such a moody so-and-so...standing in pen area with his arms spread when he wasn't picked out with crosses, annoyed many supporters and players alike, I could see.. I hope he has grown up now having seen t
There was no doubting that in his education here he scored some absol wonderful goals...I hope he continues.

It's time to give Jalal another chance. Another mistake by James, Jalal has only played once since Eddie's return and brought back a clean sheet.
Let's try it again.

If anyone needs to be replaced its Addison for Cooky . Then I think we'll see clean sheets. A fair point though in the end. 1 Away 3 at home every other week and we'll go up. Pitman=natural finisher.
Horrible stadium, city, weather.

It looked like he was at fault SOC altho we were at the far end. He seemed to come for the ball, not get there, the Bury player went wide and finished from what I would think was quite a tight angle. Their first goal was their first real attack, we'd looked pretty comfortable until then. For the rest of the half they were the better team and pressed hard to stop us playing. 2nd half much better, We played with more pace and much more penetration.

A good point against an in form team. The commentators seemed to imply that James was responsible for Worrall's goal, what do those who were at the game think? Good that Brett got a goal, shews that his instincts are still there, Eddie was saying this morning that Brett wont be match fit until Christmas and has him doing "high intentensity " training, can't wait to see him then.
Just one "moan" why can't Harry learn to keep his mouth shut!
Just shows what four loanees can do to improve results.
So on that basis, although we should have won, a draw was a good result.

Well done to the management and team for keeping the unbeaten run going and you just knew Brett would score when he came on! Onwards and upwards!
