Bolanos is a good player but without him Start can still score goals, while without Goodson they don’t look even remotely capable of a tight ship at the back, so in my eyes Goodson is a more important for them.

Nah can`t agree with you there Start has several other good players. That said i do agree that loseing Goodson and Bolanos significantly weakens the team.
But Bolanos is cleared to play again now and wile Goodson is good i don`t think he is as important as Bolanos. Have to remember that last time Goodson was out so was the other central defender

Btw, Øvrebø in not giving a penalty-shocker, surely we’ve heard that one before?

Sandefjord tend to do that don’t they? Fall back something fierce when they’re ahead? I’ve been suspecting for some time now that they’ll be the Hull City of the Tippeliga this season.. You can get some good results and some positive momentum at the start of the season, but over the course of the campaign if your players aren’t good enough you will get found out, and I’m afraid this is what seems to be happening to Sandefjord at the moment..

OK, so the equaliser goal of Kovacs is still debatable, but at least even the TV commentators still have a hard time deciding that one, so can’t really blame the referee as such. He had to make a tough decision where the margins were down to millimeters, and chose for it to be a goal. Stuff like that happens.

Even worse is that if Walker maintains this attitude, it won’t really help the players. They’ll believe that they should have earned a rightful win, when frankly, it was their overly cowardly attitude throughout the entire second period that was the main reason for the loss. And allowing them to believe this won’t help them realise that they need to play better if they’re to secure more wins, instead of steadily moving downwards to the doomed teams.

As for me, I think you know what I feel about this result. Some really strange refereeing going on, but it went both ways, which sort of made the result pretty fair after all.
