Stanley scored but ref blew for half time before entered net?
Scarcely believable refereeing. After an even first half, Stanley edging it, Billy gets the ball in the box and in the act of volleying home the ref blows for HT and disallows the goal. Entire team and bench does it's collective nut. Terrible refereeing.
Who does he think he is Clive Thomas.Dan says in the match commentary that Kee may have handled it though. Still poor reffing.
Great Point and a clean sheet !!!!,sorry redraine for getting carried away 
This will prove to be a point gained as their a tough decent team.
Shows we can battle as well as play a bit which should give us great confidence in the run in KTF

What an absolute joke of a decision.

I'll take the away point against the team only second to Northampton in the form table any day! We just need to rediscover our best winning form at home and we'll be quids in. We have missed Windass badly in and around the box imo.
Oh dear,what a shocking decision,hope it doesn't overshadow a battling clean sheet performance
I've been waiting all season to say this, but, "we wuz robbed".
What was, if it had been left to the players, a good, tense, and competitive game between two well-matched sides was turned into a pantomime by dreadful refereeing and some pretty patchy back-up from the linesman.
On a poor playing surface, which made staying on your feet and intricate passing difficult, Stanley had the better of the first half and, in stark contrast to Tuesday, were much more intent on threatening the Dons' goal. The surface and some healthy challenges from both sides led to more dropped balls than I've seen all season. Even their keeper's balls dropped, after he claimed Billy Kee had been a little too friendly, literally, in the box (historical note: quite why Wimbledon should complain about such tactics is beyond me given the way they still hold Vinnie Jones in such esteem).
Back to football, Wimbledon, in Elliot and Taylor, had 2 useful forwards but Messrs Davies and Perason were more than a match for them. Both had great games. Even when Elliot got subbed by Akinfenwa, and they then had, pound for pound, the equivalent of 3 useful forwards, the defence held steady. Young Etheridge also had a good game. As for his sending off, of course all Stanley fans, who were level with the penalty line, were convinced his hands were in the box when he made the save. However, the linesman, who at the time was still ten yards behind play didn't stick his flag up until he heard all the home fans (behind the goal, where you get the best view across the pitch) shouting. Looking at the video, it seems Etheridge was standing just beyond the line but I don't have the technology or skill to stop it when he actually touches the ball. Maybe he was stretching backwards, and thus his hands were inside. Time will tell.
But what the video does seem to confirm is that, at the end of the first half, the ref's whistle sounds after Billy Kee had shot, but just before it hit the net.
Funny, I always thought we paid money to watch goals being scored but obviously Mr. Kettle thinks we were all there to admire his time-keeping.
I guess, with officials like that, we should be glad Mr.Mooney was able to save the resulting free kick, and be content with only being robbed of 2 points.
