I'll concede that Ball was "offside" when Reno had the ball, but he wasnt involved in the play in any way and retreated to be onside before collecting the ball.

such a shark decision from VAR.

Ball with great control, crosses, finds Old who claims a classy shot and goal!
 
That is just brilliant football and well…such a beautiful goal

It doesn't matter that Ball retreated on to an onside position as the ball had not been touched prior to him coming back on side.

Tough tough call as how can you say Hemed didn't get a touch on it or play at it.

Much better 2nd half so far.

Lady luck not with us tonight but massively important that at the very least we don't lose this. I'm not that confident we'll keep them from scoring again though.

Get Pennington off before he is sent off.

No disrespect to Fenton but I somehow feel more secured having Waine at RWB than Fenton...just goes to say how much he's sliped down the pecking order...

Waine has done a great job!
Fenton must be feeling horrid right now.

We can play some beautiful football!
Feel sorry for Old, robbed of an amazing strike, and Ball another amazing assist, but that’s one of Piscopo’s best.

 Just saw on twitter that Balls pain relief wears off AT HALF TIME the man played 25 high energy minutes on a broken toe with no pain relief. Man of the season isn't enough of an honour for him!

Sail has been fantastic, but Ball has been brilliant and made so many sacrifices beyond what the rest of the team has had to do. Besides he's literally playing with his big toe barely attached to his foot right now.

They're always banging about the most saves made, as if that defines the best keepers in the league. Birrigeti and Sail the clear standouts for me this season.

And Sail laughs! Great tackle from Pennington too.

Ball hasn't had a toe for half a season. Sail hasn't had a defence. Pretty even IMO.

most saves just says Sail is a good shot stopper and our defense has allowed too many shots. plenty of other skills to judge a keeper on. Sail does most things pretty well.

add to this Ball's family heading back to the UK, after his kid getting badly hurt - I forget how - and yet he turns up game after game and does more than we could expect.

I've had a fudgeed toe nail for 2 months and have been limping and whining like a bitch.

Ball is my man of the decade.
