Brighton vs Saints - Match Thread

[Saint Pete]

Armstrong getting in the game at last, promising signs.

[OttawaSaint]

Maupay coming on...

Saints looking exposed in defence again. Often happens when giving it away in midfield.

[OttawaSaint]

Walcott hasn't been particularly good. I'd roll the dice on Redmond.

[Mr X]

Walcott has been pretty poor

[jasonb]

Theo has always been this frustrating hasn't he.

Always the nearly man. An athlete rather than a footballer.

Redmond scored a goal here last season. Backing him to get one tonight.

[trousers]

Right then... Back to our 'default' 11... Let's do this...!

If he could only add finishing to his game... He wouldn't be playing for us 😀

[jasonb]

I will always think of the I.T. Crowd when I think of Walcott.

Mrs Brown's Boys Christmas Special just starting on BBC1 if anyone's interested. I know it's a Saintsweb favourite.

[Saint_clark]

Ings looking just a little rusty, twice now if he'd reacted instantly and not hesitated he'd have been able to get a shot away.

[nta786]

Urgh Redmond should have or could have done better unlucky

[Lighthouse]

Aaaarghh.... rusty.

[Saint_clark]

Fuck sake Redmond, took that way too early. No patience.

[DT]

Redmond being very Redmond there

[LGTL]

Should have scored

[trousers]

Bertrand's crossing has been poor today 

Redmond should score there!

[OttawaSaint]

Forgot about Redmond and his shooting over the bar...

[BotleySaint]

Should have been a goal. Awful. 

[adrian lord]

Ings visibly a class above anyone else on the field. 

[Saint Pete]

Great stuff, redmond and Ings. Fancy them to create something here if we can keep the door shut at the other end.

[LGTL]

Enjoy Ings while we can I think. He’s far too good for us. 

[Lighthouse]

Diallo for Rom maybe on 80 mins. 

[obelisk]

Inside the box surely.

[adrian lord]

Gotta be a pen

Looked in the box there? Close?

Just outside

[OttawaSaint]

Has to be a pen!

[DT]

Looks a pen to me

[Saint_clark]

Never a penalty but I'll take it 😂😂😂

[nta786]

Come on lets bury this pleaseeee

[BotleySaint]

Hard call but I'd say its a pen.

[DT]

Correct decision

[OttawaSaint]

Pen. Come on JWP.

[trousers]

Never a 'clear and obvious' error ergo ref's decision should remain 

[Viking Saint]

Penalty, obviously 

[Saint_clark]

Have to say I think the push itself was just inside the box but that isn't conclusive enough for me to want it overturned. Wouldn't have complained it it wasn't given.

[OttawaSaint]

Don't like all this delay. Keep the head JWP.

[Lighthouse]

KWPs left knee is clearly inside the box when it gets caught. Right decision IMO.

[adrian lord]

Yeeees

[obelisk]

Yes.

[OttawaSaint]

Oh it's Ings.

 

 

Yesssssss!!!!

[obelisk]

Now nick a third please.

[trousers]

Tough on Brighton that

[Saint Pete]

Have to say, if that was at other end I would be livid with that decision.

[OttawaSaint]

We've been hot garbage but I'll take it. No late late equalizer please!

[nta786]

I don’t think that was a penalty, definitely a foul but I would feel aggrieved if that went against us.

But... I don’t care- let’s get the win! 😁
