DT Posted 11 January, 2020 Share Posted 11 January, 2020 Never seen a top billed game on MOTD have less discussion after than that one. Must have been 2 minutes at most. Usually they go on for 7 or 8 minutes with in depth analysis. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk And nothing more than a passing look at the supposed VAR offside for Long, which looked dubious to me. All their three were clear as can be.

Congratulations to you and your family. Exciting times ahead for you. If my wife knew I had been posting on Saintsweb within a couple of hours of our daughter being born it would have been an instant divorce! Enjoy fatherhood while you can.

Tamesaint Posted 11 January, 2020 Share Posted 11 January, 2020 In 2015/16 when we last qualified for Europe we had 28 points from 22 games. Tonight we have 28 from 22 games. We ended the season on 63 points. That was a very good last 16 matches. Could we do the same this year? Is it possible to dream ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadoldgit Posted 11 January, 2020 Share Posted 11 January, 2020 Up all night to see in the birth of my first child and the mighty red and white bag 3pts. What a day. Many congratulations to you both. The old cliche that they grow up so quickly is true. Savour every moment! What a result. What an amazing turn around. Everyone at the club deserves credit, especially Gao and the board for not sacking Ralph when many other clubs would have done. There is still a long way to go but we are now where I think most of us thought we would be last summer so job’s a good ‘un. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsbridge Saint Posted 12 January, 2020 Share Posted 12 January, 2020 Partial redemption for the 0-9. We are starting to look a proper team now.

Forester Posted 12 January, 2020 Share Posted 12 January, 2020 Thoroughly enjoyed that. Walking back to the car Leicester fans were very generous with praise of Saints. We really do now need to start looking up not down in the table given form and the fact that the three teams we have now played for the second time this season are Chelsea, Spurs and Leicester. Others will get fewer points than we have against those three. Realistically it will be tough to catch Leicester and the traditional top six, although not impossible in the case of Spurs and Arsenal, but I definitely think that Wolves, Sheff Utd, Palace and Everton are teams we could finish above and we have all four to play yet.

qwertyell Posted 12 January, 2020 Share Posted 12 January, 2020 One last comment. Why do they persist in booking players for taking their shirts off after scoring a goal? It doesn’t bother anybody and it hadn’t stopped people from doing it. Totally pointless and joyless. Just stop it. Diego Forlan, against us for Man United, got a late goal, took his wet shirt off and swung it around his head, and then couldn't get the twisted thing back on as the game restarted. He played out the last few minutes topless, farcicaly carrying his shirt in one hand. It was a bit of a spectacle. I don't know if that played any part in the lawmakers clamping down on the practice, but the rules were definitely changed soon after.

qwertyell Posted 12 January, 2020 Share Posted 12 January, 2020 Has anyone seen a VAR breakdown of Leicester's goal? In real time I was sure Vardy was well offside in the build up but it was totally glossed over in the broadcast: no replays, no lines drawn on the screen. I know all goals are allegedly checked by VAR as a matter of course, but it seemed weird that there was no mention of it and then the game just restarted.

We don’t need to match that, we’re only 3 points off 7th now and we play Wolves in a 6 pointer next week followed by another 6 pointer with Palace, if a top 5 side wins the fa cup then 7th will get Europa, definitely possible to get that.

rallyboy Posted 12 January, 2020 Share Posted 12 January, 2020 While I'm happy to accept it if Long is ruled offside by three centimetres in the current climate, the only image I saw showed the ball about two foot long having already left the foot. There also seemed to be differences in the way the two players were measured, Long from the shoulder, their guy from the armpit. It would be good to see some clear images, shot at a frame rate for the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitey Grandad Posted 12 January, 2020 Share Posted 12 January, 2020 So without VAR would Saints have lost 4-3 ?No, because VAR distorts the way the the officials control the game. The assistants on the line have been instructed to be more cautious over flagging for offside and a referee is going to leave marginal calls to the remote official.

Shroppie Posted 12 January, 2020 Share Posted 12 January, 2020 Recovering from a great day yesterday. Good company and put faces to some Forum names! Not much to say about the game. Whole team worked for each other and the performance was brilliant. Amazing what getting a settled team, clear tactics and the right formation can do. Belief and confidence are back. On another day, Danny could have scored four. Long's offside before the would-have-been penalty was very debatable. Quite pleasant on here for once. Guess the skates and moaners are struggling to find any negatives. Happy days. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
