Why did he even give the referee the chance to disallow it? I agree football has gone soft but if var was their they would also have disallowed it.

Quite bizarre really that the Hartlepool keeper became the hero of the hour by being at fault for our goal, and being rescued by the referee when he was at fault again.

He never actually looked like he was going to save anything in the shoot out either and almost messed up the Buse save when he palmed it onto the underside of the bar. Couldn't believe it actually stayed out either - but that just about summed up our day.

Heart breaking to lose with so much riding on it. Not really too bothered about the Hartlepool fans - let them gloat, just ignore it and laugh when they are bottom of the league next season.

I highly doubt we will be bottom of the league next season, we have a great manager and a pretty decent team, won the most points out of any team against top 7, beat in form Bromley, won at Stockport and then beat what was arguably the best team in the league for 3 month or so to win the play offs.

Firstly I'd like to wish you the best of luck next season, got a great little team their and I'm sure if you keep most of the players and tighten up at the back a bit you can certainly win it.

My take on the game for what its worth, well it has to be one of the best lower league games I've ever witnessed, the atmosphere unreal. Now the disallowed goals, first one was a definite foul, stupid push by your lad on the back post, why he did it I don't know. The second one should of stood definitely, infact the one that was given was more of a foul than that one. We also had a blatant handball turned down in extra time, not sure where they get these referees from?

Don't let a few idiots at the end of the game tarnish the fans at pools the majority are actually decent, though a few torquay players probably didn't help taunting pools fans after the equaliser.

All in all a great occasion for both clubs im sure the hurt of losing in a cruel way will inspire you onto promotion.

The only team that had really given up in this league was Barnet, they have recently picked up. I just think the top teams at the minute are too good for other teams. As expected we won yesterday and I had very little doubt Sutton would. I fully expect yourselves to follow suit on Tuesday, if you don’t then I think you have serious problems beating Sutton to the league.

Personally as a pools fan I see Saturday as the week for us. We are home to Weymouth, I expect to see us win, Eastleigh play Sutton now I believe their is a real possibility Sutton could lose two points, if they win I think we have had it and can then concentrate on second or third, while you play Notts county I don’t think they have ever lost 4 in a row in the conference. Still a big week to come , Sutton are huge favourites no doubt about it, but if they do drop points this week it’s game on.

Just a couple of points there mate. It doesn't look like Weymouth want to move the game and its probably for the best for us, because it will be Bennett's last game for us before Stockport recall him. Chesterfield would also only play 3 times, their 4th game is us. They are the last team id worry about at the minute, Stockport are the real dangers so much firepower.

Think your right though it will probably go to the wire but good luck, if we can't get promoted why not yourselves? A great little club and place to play footy.

A lot depends on these next two games of Sutton's if they win them both, they will be red hot favourites to win it. I don't think I'm the only to notice you have a batch of about 4 games in a row shortly that look very tricky, which could let Stockport sneak into it.

Pools fan here now I’m not saying we are going to win the league, but how can you rule pools out of it, yet say Chesterfield can win it? We are 12 points ahead of them and have them to play at home. We have won 12 and drawn 1 of our last 13 at home I think, not only that Chesterfield have 7 games against the top 10.
