I agree with what others say that we insist in passing it back and forward along the back line. It no longer works. 1. Because clubs have now sussed it and press higher
2. More worryingly is the fact that we are no bloody good at it.

This is beyond mortifying:

Dear me. Can't wait to watch the other one

As has been mentioned if that had been Mee the forum would be in melt down

[wayno]

Byrne probably cocked it up because he never expected to get the ball when support was literally screaming for it right next to the passing player.

Not defending him, but I know that is all I can think about.

exactly has to be one of the sh*ttest back passes I have ever seen . Should never have been put in that position

The fact that people are somehow contriving to blame Mullarkey for that goal rather proves my point about how Byrne can seemingly do no wrong.

Toby had done the hardwork and the ball should have been sent up the pitch.

We concede, and put ourselves under so much pressure often in games with going back to the keeper. It is just a pointless risk in my eyes, unless you have 4 defenders good enough.

No idea what Byrne was trying to do. Very strange.

In fairness both are equally to blame; Toby could have played a 5 yard pass, put it out, launched it long.

Ollie Byrnes slip turns Tobys mistake in to a problem.

The ball was not played to his feet it was curling you can see it clearly on the second part of the footage. Awful decision to play it back and  piss around with the ball

Byrne looks like he is attempting some bizarre breakdancing move.

An utter farce.

ha ha that cheered me up . A failed back spin perhaps

Equally to blame? Really? I’d say Mullarkey was 10% at fault for the goal at most. It wasn’t a great backpass but Byrne easily gets to it first, only to usher it past him like a matador avoiding a bull. If Byrne had just cleared it with his right foot, as any pro keeper should be able to do, there would have been no issue whatsoever.

And I don’t think he does slip. He falls over trying to kick the ball with the wrong foot,

Toby should never have gone back in that situation. If he went down the line  then the whole mess wouldn't have occurred.
Byrne was really poor aswell.

[cheshire cat]

It's totally bizarre. To me it looks like Byrne was going down to handle it and then realises it's a backpass.

[Alty Dave]

Wow, it was not a good back pass, but should have been dealt with by Byrne. That said Barrows should have covered as well. So for me it's mainly Ollies fault

For their second we need to defend though balls better, there guy was in acres of space unmarked. Ball seemed to go under Ollie as well, so not good from a GK view either.

TBH Ollie’s judgement is usually spot on so he’s entitled to a rare slip.
