Watched on ifollow..
Excellent debut start for Gibson, looked class.
Missed the challenge that Thomson was stretchered off with, and am too wise to get carried away with crowd noise to judge whether a red was correct or not (we see it at Mem sometimes too).. I did note Whelan was subbed at half time anyway, so I know it happens at lower league level, perhaps just perhaps JAB done the honourable thing with it conveniently fitting within plans?
Hoole didn't look comfortable all match with his playing out of ball, plus his positioning on their 3rd (I know it was counter attack) whom was unmarked from his defending position.
Belly was jittery. Yes he made his punches out and his handling was ok, but it lacked conviction. I wonder if his confidence is slightly knocked?
Aaza was his buzzing, playing his football in a cheerful way, self. Just put his laces through ball for his goal which nutmeg defender and almost went through Keep....I think he took his speculative goal well.
Pompey well organised, we made them work hard for their deserved victory. They threw almost everything at us and for large periods of the game, we coped and dealt with. We didn't buckle. But, that place has its jitters over us and something controversial always happens....this time it's the ref's consistency called into question? Invariably we always end up on wrong side of those things down there, but it's a side issue. We didn't to enough to deserve anything from down there, and from what I saw, the 2nd half was better than the 1st, which was whole way better than Barnsley fiasco and I'd call it a spirited fighting defeat. Again (with exception of last time).
JAB post match comments didn't reflect what my thoughts were, but I wasn't there in real time.
What I don't understand is....why is he allaying our season starts when transfer window closes? Isn't that what pre season is a about: experimentation?
Poor comments on defeat, just makes you look like a whiny child.
Speedy recovery for injury fella though, no one wants to see careers end in that fashion.

Watch the replay of the penalty incident. You can clearly see the Rovers player's left leg deliberately kick into Rafferty's, Robert Pires style. That's why the ref didn't give it. As regards the alleged push there's nothing in it. Certainly not enough to make him fall over. Clear penalty. Neither defender was anywhere near the ball nor made any attempt to play it. Collins is about to shoot and is clearly shoved, in the process there's a tangle of legs. If you take the tangle of legs out of the equation (which was caused by the shove and the defender impeding Collins) it's still a penalty If there is a "tangle of legs" but one person is clearly in front of the other it doesnt matter if they intended to tangle or not. Its still a penalty. It was a clear goal scoring opportunity. I was amazed it wasnt given. Especially as plenty of tangles and light knocks/shoves were given elsewhere on the pitch when Collins was impeded.

Not seen any of the game yet but it seems it was a much improved performance after Barnsley and with a bit of luck could have earned a point. Good to read some interesting , fair observations from fans of our opponents, every one seems to agree that the Ref was very poor. there will no doubt be times when we get the benefit of such refereeing, just gotta bite the bullet now and make sure we pick up points from up coming home games.

I have not read this thread, I have never known such a one sided ref in all the time I have been going to watch Rovers, I have been going since 1980, I'm not one to blame the refs week in week out but we were playing against 12 men today, well 11 men and one f......g p...k. I am fuming, he obviously either hated Rovers or loved Portsmouth but whatever the reason we were never going to win that game with him in charge, well done ref your team won.
I don't think it's a case of Gavin Ward either loving Portsmouth or hating Rovers, more a case of him being a pretty sh1t ref. In my group of five in the pub before the match three of us knew who he was (never a good sign) and weren't looking forward as we've been on the end of some bizarre decisions from him in recent seasons.
I thought it was interesting that in his interview with BBC Radio Solent after the game Cowley suggested that from his viewpoint the likelihood was that neither were penalties. It chimes with what those in our group were saying, which was that he's one of a few refs we know at this level (the recently retired Brett Huxtable being another) who gives decisions based on what he thinks probably happened rather than what he's actually seen.
In other words he's incompetent.

This is the real point - it wasn't just the penalty, it was all afternoon. Decision after decision went against us. Perhaps the only one that went our way was Whelan not getting a red.

The penalty decision was the worst since Vic Callow refused a penalty for the rugby tackle on Carl Saunders at Wembley in 1990.

Pompey get their customary big ground penalty from a weak referee. It’s a hollow win for them because it wasn’t deserved, and deep down, they know it. As for the “red card”, rewatched it, and whelan goes for the ball, and Thompson just jumps in the way. Their fans are all over social media making a terrible case for themselves like they always are, the same ones who hang off the railings like apes beating their chests whenever they come here. Have pride Gasheads, we only lost that game on paper. If the referee wasn’t a bottler, that would have been 1-2. If I was Joey I’d be showing them how much they celebrated getting fortunate decisions. They’re just happy to have had the result, they know they got out of that luckily but there’s no real substance. It’s played over a season and they won’t have gifts like that every week, they will most certainly get refs they can’t influence like yesterday, and they’ll have to form another plan rather than lucking out from terrible, weak decisions. couldn't agree more, lucky, very very lucky Portsmouth, your team won undeserved and helped by the referee and you know it!

Have seen the Whelan clip and for me it’s nowhere near a red.
GW challenges for the ball and is beyond their fella before the Portsmouth lad even gets there. He’s come crashing in from the side and has landed badly causing his terrible injury. Whelan didn’t make contact with the player, more the player made contact with him.

Maybe a Barton thing. Let’s be fair, most of us intensely disliked him while he was at Fleetwood and i do think his past precedes him. Fleetwood were a dirty and time wasting machine. Given the amount iof anger here, i would imagine the ref will be reported but then, does the EFL have the bottle to do anything ? Seems the Rovers are having a lot of attention and from the wrong places. I do wonder , sometimes Refs should be impartial and make decisions based on what they see on the pitch, not who’s sat in the dugout. If they don’t, they shouldn’t be reffing at this level. There were so many occasions Pompey were getting decisions for things that we weren’t. Having given the first pen, he had to give the 2nd. Regardless of whether decisions are right or not, consistency is all I, and probably most other fans ask for. Come on, we have both been to enough games to know that many or the majority of referees seem to get influenced by the home crowd and especially if they are loud. Who knows, maybe they get scared ?

The repetative nature of your posts suggests that you've probably received a blow to the head at some point.
