Sheaf Saint

Just like the Leicester game - we can rightly point to some very questionable refereeing, but ultimately we were the architects of our own downfall and didn't deserve anything from the game. To go to the team bottom of the table, who haven't kept a clean sheet since February, and not test their keeper once is fucking criminal. I'm utterly sick of this propaganda football. It's fucking dreadful to watch, and yields no reward. And it's never going to change with RM in charge. I'm out. Can't bring myself to watch anymore with this muppett in charge. Got better things to do with my weekend. I want to be proud of my team, even in defeat, but this current shit show is just unbearable.

Should have been 3-0.

Commentator: "It was never going to be straightforward for Wolves today". Have you not watched any of Saints' games so far this season?

Jeez. Dibling REALLY needs to learn when to release the ball.

Username checks out ✔️

Pretty fair. We've been much the better team with the ball for most of this half. But... If you discount the disallowed goal (which was a very dubious VAR decision), then we've not had a shot on target despite our 73% possession.

That is the most obvious booking you'll ever see FFS.

And strong in the arm?

and yet, if you watch the replay, Semedo made no attempt to play the ball and was more concerned with blocking Fernandes off. That's a fucking bullshit decision.

That's never a foul FFS. it's a 50/50 with both of them going for the ball. Fucking VAR bollocks!

Indeed. They just use childish terms like Loony Lefties, Libtards, Snowflakes and Woke Brigade instead.

Parking across two spaces cunt is one of my personal bugbears. It's bad enough when the spaces are clearly marked, but what really gets my goat is in car parks that have no marked bays and everyone insists on parking as far away as possible from the next car without actually leaving enough space for another one, thus massively reducing the overall capacity of the car park.

The homepage of that Reduxx site - Fuck me! I can't believe anyone who wants to be taken seriously would cite this as a credible source.

So still no direct connection to the Democrat party then. Glad we cleared that up.

Not true. Crooks - the shooter at Bethel Park - was a Republican voter.

Imagine if he wasn't holding the ball and pushed his hands into Fernandes' face with the same force. He would quite rightly have been sent off. But yeah, it was dreadful officiating all round because it was quite blatantly our throw in.

Which makes RM's constant tinkering with the starting lineup even more baffling.

OK, I stand corrected. I always thought it had to be no attempt to play the ball (did it used to be?). Still wasn't a clear and obvious DOGSO though. Would have been very harsh to send him off.

Too much uncertainty whether THB would have got across to cover, and it was clearly a genuine attempt to play the ball. Would have been a travesty if he had been sent off for that. As for Fraser - he cynically pulled down a player who was about to tap in to an empty net. Clearest red card for DOGSO you'll ever see. There's no comparison whatsoever between the two scenarios.

Downes is very close. Bednarek too, probably.

Dyche harping on about Bednarek not being sent off - he obviously doesn't actually know the laws of the game. Even if you accept that THB wouldn't have got across to cover, it was quite clearly a genuine attempt to play the ball rather than a cynical, deliberate foul, which it would need to be in order to warrant a red card.

OK, I take it back. I think the slo-mo replay made it look worse, but in real time it was a good, precise finish. However, if I was an Everton fan I would be questioning Pickford's positioning, because he left a largely open goal.

I'm assuming this means we have already agreed terms with a replacement then, yes?

Yeah that was a heart in mouth moment for me too!

It really wasn't. We were piss poor and rode our luck more tgan once. Even our goal was a scuff shot that 9/10 would have been saved or pinged off a defender. Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy we won. But let's not pretend that this result doesn't just paper over the cracks. We didn't win because we fully deserved to, so I can't agree that it was in any way a 'good' performance.
