Not watching , but is it the case that Bogle definitely insisted on taking the penalty, ahead of the designated taker?
Yes, definitely. He was holding the ball and Washington was standing over the spot, they were obviously having a bit of a disagreement. Then Jackson was shouting "Omar, omar, give him the ball." And Omar walked away very disappointed.
The moment a player interferes like Bogle did, he's on a loser. It's rare that any good comes out of silly things like that and it can it have all sorts of knock effects if you're not careful. Time for the experienced players (and there enough of them out there) to take control and sort it out, both in terms of discipline and performance.
Gillingham get ball. Attack down right. Comes to nothing. Charlton slow build up. Comes to nothing. Gillingham get ball. Attack down right.
Rinse and repeat.
Hopefully it will open up a bit in second half.
"Boring"? Are you being funny?
A penalty miss, a great save from Amos, great 30 yard + free kick from Maddison, Watson's shot from his own half, Shinnie's long ranger just over the bar, a row over who takes the penalty, Steve Evan's screaming like a demented twat and various other chances ....
I was actually thinking that from a neutral perspective it' been quite a good match. Certainly compared to most of the others I've seen this season - ours and elsewhere.
Firstly thank you for mentioning why *you* found the half interesting.
I found it boring and I explained why I found it boring. Why am I 'being funny'? Why can't you simply just say, 'I personally didn't find it boring and this is why.'
Errr .... because I wasn't sure if you were being funny or not.
Clearly a lost happened in the first half so I thought your comments may have been tongue in cheek, but clearly not.
Of course you're entitled to your opinion. But if you found that half "boring" then I genuinely wonder just what you expect from a third tier football match played in a strong swirling wind.
"Boring" to me is when nothing of any note or interest has occurred. Definitely can't say that about that half.
47' 0-0 Big chance for Charlton so early on in the half. Albi Morgan is unmarked inside the box, cross manages to find him. Contact made is poor and his effort receives a deflection. Corner given, headed clear by Ogilvie. #Gills
If Bogle had taken the pen. and missed. There would be posters on here saying our pen. taker Washington should have taken it. (If Washington is our penalty taker).
48' 0-0 Effort from Ian Maatsen is blocked by Medley. McKenzie wins a 50/50 in the middle of the park but the loose ball is gathered by a red shirt. The visitors have begun very positively. Ogilvie however wins a free-kick, under pressure from Maddison. #Gills

Boring to me is watching the same patterns of play for 45 minutes. I can understand why Gillingham may play like that, but we have the ability to change it up.
And look like we already have this half by a little more direct.

Bogle's fault. He should have shouted for Morgan to leave it to Washington.
Anyone remember that free kick routine where Kinsella pretended to have an argument with the other guy who wanted to take it, walked away in disgust, then quickly turned around and the other bloke layed it off for him to shoot. That was a good one
On the evidence so far we will be lucky to walk away with a draw from this. Amos has kept us in it twice.
Bogle and Washington have had scraps so far. I just hope we can create more in the 2nd half and nick a goal from somewhere.
That really is half glass empty!
We've been the better team so far. Yes Amos has made a couple of good saves but we could easily be 2 or 3 up and we're the only team playing any sort of football.
Comments
Maybe, I should have just said the moment we decided to change penalty taker it was never going in. Similar to how Sage framed it.
Maybe that would have made you more happy, instead of referring to my comment as utter drivel.

He had a job. Score.
he didn’t. End of
I'm surprised we've had two in one season.
You just step aside and give the ball to your mate.
Very poor.

Telling it as I see it.
