Glen cost us the game and a reserve goalkeeper with his crazy pull on their player.

Could be a costly incident in our season.

It was VERY odd. Not sure it'll have a huge impact on the season though.

Rather him do it today and learn the lesson than a league game.
Not bothered about any of this to be honest.
Team will come out blazing come Thursday

Conceded two penalties in successive games that he has been involved in. Good job he is well in credit!

He got their attacker in a headlock and threw him at Maenpaa.

What was Glen Murray thinking - lucky I'm not Tomer or I'll get hammered for this.

Good lad.

No different to Newcastle deliberately missing a penalty at Oxford. Winning this game had the potential to be far more costly than losing it.

I'm cynical, but to suggest we lost on purpose is beyond even me.

He was thinking, "I know Stocky asked me to make sure that Maenpaa gets to show that he can't save penalties; I wonder if this is the moment...". Then he was thinking "Oh..."

Odd moment in the game. Glenn had his eyes on the ball and was backing off whilst the Lincoln player with no interest in the ball, was charging into the box facing the other way. Possibly Glenn was fouled first before he man handled their player to the keeper.

Was a very soft pen. Glad it wasn't a league game. Happens all the time nowhere near the ball either.

How can you blame Murray for Maenpaa.

This.
We can be thankful he didn't get injured or sent off.

He has had odd moments before. Deliberate handball at Wycombe once.

Me too.

His goals in the league between now and the end of the season have the potential to be worth hundreds of millions of pounds to the club. It was obvious how much we struggled without him the other night. Why on earth was he risked in a nothing game when he could have had a relaxing weekend off with his family prior to Thursday, which is crucial?

Luckily he came through unscathed apart from another yellow card. Thank god we are out of the cup: just one objective to focus on now.
