angelman Posted 27 February, 2016 Share Posted 27 February, 2016 40 years of going to games, and not sure I have seen that before. There was of course the famous Sheffield Utd?? Vs Arsenal when one of them scored in a cup game and they agreed a replay. Got the feeling that the other Chelsea players were a little disapproving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Charlie Posted 27 February, 2016 Share Posted 27 February, 2016 It worked. We got riled, Clasie and Bertrand got booked because the game changed we took our eye off the ball. He is a ****, but a clever one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFKA South Woodford Posted 27 February, 2016 Share Posted 27 February, 2016 Don't think it was that incident which riled the players, it was more the fact he'd gotten away with punching Virgil a few minutes earlier! Shane also came over to show the ref a wound he'd picked up off of one of them during that stoppage, he was quite adamant that he'd been attacked by one of them. They were getting away with a he'll of a lot of roughing up and we were getting bookings for nothing fouls, which was also having an effect on the players. That Clasie booking was a joke, he barely touched willian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a ****, but a clever one. He's not clever just fortunate to be in a league where the referees are scared to make a decision against the top Sides. If he was playing for Sunderland or Stoke he have been sent off numerous times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shurlock Posted 27 February, 2016 Share Posted 27 February, 2016 (edited) Would love a bit of Costa's nastiness and aggression in the side, though tbf Long and Austin do have a bit of an edge. It's the Willian and Oscar-type theatrics I don't like. Edited 27 February, 2016 by shurlock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyboy Posted 27 February, 2016 Share Posted 27 February, 2016 I wouldn't want Costa anywhere near our side. He is a cheat and has no place in a game that even in this modern era should try to retain some shred of sportsmanship. We didn't lose because he was cheating or because of his tactical aggression, we lost because we failed to deal with a corner that their player judged better than ours - Costa was irrelevant to that. All his antics just dragged Chelsea's name through the gutter - again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the Willian and Oscar-type theatrics I don't like. Mane, Tadic and a couple of others do our theatrics for us (something that's never sat right with me), and you're right Long and Austin have an edge, but what Costa did chasing down that returned ball was something I would never want to see from anyone wearing a Saints shirt. It was a disgraceful act that shamed the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFKA South Woodford Posted 28 February, 2016 Share Posted 28 February, 2016 Costa didn't punch Van Dijk. That's not what several thousand people looking directly at the incident right in front of them in the kingsland thought at the time! Costa clearly had a go at Virgil after being beaten to the ball by him and had his hand in a fist directly after the incident. All of the players closest to it came over and complained to the ref and linesman straight away, so they saw something too! Also the penalty call was for the handball whilst he was on the floor rather than cahills challenge on Austin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appy Posted 28 February, 2016 Share Posted 28 February, 2016 Nothing to do with them having better players and playing well? That's what I put it down to, if a side with players as good as Chelsea play well against us, we're likely to be on the wrong end of the result.

Pilchards Posted 28 February, 2016 Share Posted 28 February, 2016 We are far too nice. They were definitely out to unsettle us. When he kicked one of our players at the backside he should of gone down and stayed down. Although he waved play on do you think he would of changed his mind after talking to the assistant? I reckon a goal ruled out and a red card may of occurred if he did go down clutching nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjii Posted 28 February, 2016 Share Posted 28 February, 2016 So for those if us that have only been able to watch MotD highlights, what happened (in English, please)? Van Dijk went down, we kicked the ball out. They threw it back on and lumped it up the pitch towards our box. Costa chased after it and tried to win it back so Fonte had to tussle with him. Atkinson gave a non-existent foul against Costa because he thought "I'm not having this on my highlights". Do it made no direct difference to anything but showed that he is a massive ****. Although for what it's worth I don't think teams should give the ball back if the other team chooses to kick it out. But they normally do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Duckhunter Posted 28 February, 2016 Share Posted 28 February, 2016 Makes me laugh the " morals" supporters have when it comes to cheating . Technically what Costa did was unsporting but wasn't cheating . Diving , deliberate trips, shirt pulling , appealing for a decision when you know you've touched it last, and going down when you're not really that injured ( as VvD did yesterday , I bet he would have stayed on his feet had we been chasing the game) , is cheating . Our players do that pretty much every game , with hardly any critisim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Tender Posted 28 February, 2016 Share Posted 28 February, 2016 I thought that unsporting behaviour was a yellow card offence. When the etiquette of the game is understood to be that if the ball is kicked out of play for attention to be given to an injured player and that the ball should be returned to the team who has forfeited possession, how was the c*nt Costa not yellow carded for his actions? He subsequently received a yellow for foul play, so he would have been off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Balls Posted 28 February, 2016 Share Posted 28 February, 2016 If I was on the pitch yesterday I'm 99% sure I'd have got him sent off. Bertrand had a brilliant opportunity to wind him up and stupidly reacted and got himself booked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graffito Posted 28 February, 2016 Share Posted 28 February, 2016 I haven't counted the number times he's been called a **** on here but from a cursory review, I think we can safely say Saintsweb is unanimous. Costa' a ****. He's at the right club though. Don't you just hate those ****s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derry Posted 28 February, 2016 Share Posted 28 February, 2016 Personally I'd have thought a three match ban would have been a fair exchange for putting him into orbit late in the game. As for the kicking the ball out and then getting it back however the opponents decide is a nonsense. In the first place it's the referee's responsibility to control and stop play. Secondly, play on until the referee stops the game, then contest any restart bounce up. Thirdly if the ball is kicked out then play it like any other throw in.

What would have happened was that Martin Atkinson would have given the phantom free kick for nothing he gave anyway, which was probably the best decision he made in the entire match. Overruled his linesmen twice, both times wrongly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 29 February, 2016 Share Posted 29 February, 2016 Also the penalty call was for the handball whilst he was on the floor rather than cahills challenge on Austin. Could have been given for either, he brought him down well inside the box well after the initial contact outside it, as well as handling the ball twice including when lying on the floor.

Toomer Posted 29 February, 2016 Share Posted 29 February, 2016 What worrys me is that he is going to do something during a match and someone who has had a few to many is going to get on the pitch and give him a slap, even a Chelsea supporter I know thinks this could happen.
