Saints 1-2 Wolves - Match Thread

[striker]

Weak call. Could have gone either way, certainly not on purpose but arm should have been down

[OttawaSaint]

Ref’s ruined the game for me. We got jobbed vs Villa Nd now this. Where is he supposed to put his arm?

[Whitey Grandad]

What a f***ing joke. Football has been ruined. 

[Chez]

Absolute joke decision.

When you think we didn’t get the pen against Villa, that’s incredible. 

Didn't brush his thigh first though did it which - apparently - is absolutely key and makes it impossible for the hand ball to be in any way deliberate.

[nta786]

The inconsistency of this league strikes again.

Terrible decision but it’s alright for the referees & VAR- they aren’t accountable in this league.

[aintforever]

Never a penalty.

Down where? It was tucked away on the sheltered side of his body!

[The Cat]

I thought it was a penalty. Hits the hand which is up in the air. It's the inconsistency that is hard to take because of the Villa decision.

Very annoying though, they've done nothing all game. 

[trousers]

Pretty sure if the ref doesn't give that then VAR wouldn't have over-ruled it

[Archers Road Stand]

We're going to lose this. 

[BotleySaint]

VAR is quite pointless.

Though to be fair we had reverted to our "bore them to death" tactic. So maybe we'll wake up again how.

[OttawaSaint]

Unlucky from Stu there.

Pretty sure his hand is close to his body when the ball strikes and it's the act of the ball hitting his hand that pushes it away from his body?

[The Cat]

Good move, was going in if it wasn't for the block.

[Viking Saint]

Commentator on my stream saying he has no idea where Bertrand is supposed to have his arm

His hand wasn’t up in the air. It was tucked next to his chest. Never a penalty in all my lifetime.

I'd need to see it again, but it looked to me like it brushed his upper right arm first, in which case the same rule should have been applied as to Matty Cash's one. 

[Mr X]

Going to lose a game where were well on top from a very poor decision, slow start from us second half as is our usual pattern 

[Jimmy_D]

****ing joke decisions.

[igsey]

No replays being shown of our penalty shout now...

[Saint_clark]

If they're checking then why has the game restarted?

[OttawaSaint]

They aren’t showing us a potential Wolves hand ball. Bertie was adamant it was by Dendonker.

Do you have next weeks lotto numbers please? 

[Saint_clark]

Amazon prime are shite, where is the replay of the handball shout.

[Saint Trev]

which hand did the ball hit left or right?

Just thinking the same. Not even looking at it again 

[trousers]

I know it's partly due to the opposition waking up, but why do we seemingly have so many games where we come out in the second half looking like a completely different team to the first half?

[madge]

Wolves make a few tactical changes and we haven’t a clue... lucky to get a point out of this.

[Saint_clark]

Idiotic from Bednarek now. Looking a shambles at the back.

[nta786]

Wolves have come out flying this half

Have to be careful we don’t let the decision get in the way of our football- we can be very fragile when the first thing doesn’t go our way

[Mr X]

Allegedly right but it was more it glanced the arm in my opinion 

[BotleySaint]

Bednarek going for goal again there 🤣

About time someone told him it's at the other end.

[OttawaSaint]

Minamino off, Djenepo on.

[obelisk]

What is it that happens to Saints in the dressing room at half time?

[Ted Bates Statue]

Wolves up from 47% to 67% possession. FFS!

[igsey]

Just shown the replay, MUCH more of a penalty shout than the one they were given.

[BotleySaint]

We really aren't getting the decisions lately are we?

[aintforever]

Cheating cunts, if Bertrand’s was hand ball then their one definitely was.

[trousers]

They've finally shown the replay. HOW ON EARTH IS ONE OF THOSE HANDBALL AND THE OTHER ISN'T???!!!

More ****ing corrupt officials

Replay seen. Not only does Dendonker shove Vestergaard but arm is way outside his body and handles it. Game’s gone. Pathetic.

Horrendous decision.

[Sheaf Saint]

Finally showed the replay of the handball shout. If the Bertrand one is a penalty then so is that.

This inconsistency is fucking infuriating. 

[Noodles34]

This performance, so far just sums up everything about is 

 

[Saint_Tony]

good arm control there by Dendoncker

[nta786]

Wow 2-1 Wolves ffs

[trousers]

Bollocks. Game over

[SNSUN]

Bloody ref is a joke. VAR is a joke. The build up of bookings is a worry. 

 

We've not even started this half. All Wolves. Need something to change... Djenepo on. Traore with no goals or assists this season must be rubbing his hands together. Defensively we look iffy.

 

We're good enough to win this. A second goal for us would change things mentally imo.

 

Edit...scratch that. Would take a hell of a performance to come back now.
