Wow, that was absolutely quality and didn't know he had it in him. Wasn't just right place right time but also perfectly placed
I saw someone mention in match Fred that it could have been a foul for a push. Sorry but if you can get thay easily pushed down by a man Smyths size you should not be a CB. He went down looking for a foul rather than doing his job
Never a foul and glad ref didn't buy the pathetic attempt [Post edited 4 Oct 19:13]

Smyth seems really driven to keep his place. When he comes on he's fully on it.
Good skill in the build up, good movement and....bosh. Ulster. |  | | |

Great header and agree. Given that Smyth has a tendency to hit the deck from anything stronger than a whisper in the ear, probably fair to say if it had been the other way round he'd have been screaming for a peno though! |  | | |

Just got home... and still buzzing....
Have to be honest we were right in line with that.... and I had a look at the ref and for a second I thought he was pointing to Smyth to disallow it.... and then turn... que bedlam on my part
It was definitely a push... and if that was allowed against us... I would be totally p!ssed... but it wasn't, it stood, and we won.... geeeetttt iiiinnnnn | | | |

His pace from the bench is key, remember how we used Uncs.
Play him from the start and he still quick but the advantage is smaller. | |

Because he's got 20-30 mins where he can make himself a nuisance to defenders. Not effective enough for a.full 90 mins still | |

Talk about mixed up roles - Dunne crossing for Smyth to head home | | | |

I thought it was a clear foul by Smudge at the time.
Still do now.
However, I do wonder if the ref had last weekends Geordies v Arsenal game and the non push on Gabriel incident in his head????
Sleepless night for that CB tonight |  |

First thought was foul, but looking back on it the defender falls over at the slightest touch trying to buy a foul, as he realises it is going over his head. 8 times out of 10 a ref will give that foul, but they shouldn't be. The defender has to be stronger. |  |

As I’m sure has been said elsewhere, him and Vale changed the game when they came on
Best thing about the goal was that he started the move with some classy play in midfield, which shows how he is still improving | | | |

Well the two times they do not give a foul must have been yesterday and Cov away last season when Thomas nudged Cookie over in the last minute before scoring their winner which took the wind out of Marti's last winning run... |  |

Textbook header that would have been practised in training over and over again, head the ball back in the direction it came from.
Far more difficult during a match of course but Paul kept his cool and put it away.
Back of the net. |  | | |

Was a great header keeper had no chance.
I've noticed if I don't do a prediction we win, so on that basis I'm not going to make one for the rest of the season. |  |

If the defender had made more of an effort to stay on his feet then Smyth might have found it harder to direct it as well as he did. A just reward for going to ground trying to buy a free kick. | | | |

It was a perfect header......'it came from where it come from' (direction, adds a lot of speed/pace to the header). Smyth, not just because it was the winner, will be very pleased with the connection & direction. | | | |

Pathetic dive by the centre half, There was a push but I think the ref didn’t give it because of the dive.
Was it me or were his long throws about 10 yards further yesterday. They were reaching the middle of the box, Jimmy was looking to nod on at the edge of the six yard and they were sailing over him! | | | |

it was obviously just a little push, just enough to unbalance him and stop him jumping. very clever from Smyth
if their lad had actually gone over forwards I think that gets given for a foul. instead he just sort of crumples to the floor, luckily for us. |  |

It was a clever foul. He did it as everyone was watching the cross. |  | | |

He might have been watching an old Paul Furlong video, Paul Furlong was a master of sneakily fouling defenders In the penalty box.
Can't remember who we were playing but as the ball came over from the corner Paul Furlong collapsed on top of the defender, stayed on top of him pretending to be Injured (he looked like he was) suddenly sprang up and scored In front of the loft.
Defender goes mental towards anybody who'll listen.
As for Paul Smyth watch his Interview again, the lad Is bubbling with
exuberance |  |

The Brizzle manager must be fuming. Both our goals from crosses from their left hand side, poor.
Great header from Smyth and it was never a foul. Their defender just misread the flight of the ball, felt a hand on his back and collapsed.
I was never a fan of Smyth, but the style of football we now play under JS suits him. He was never suited to the slow build-up that MC installed, he needs to play at pace.
He has been excellent when he has played this season. | |
