WBA vs Saints - Match Thread

[Saint_clark]

If you're going to do a 2 minutes silence to show respect, at least do it properly. The ref ended it after 1 minute and 40 seconds.

Of all the dreadful pundits Sky manage to find, I think Kevin Campbell is up there with the very worst of them. Him and Carragher together are pretty much unwatchable. 

Agreed he is poor. Possibly not Efan "2 0 is not a real lead" Ekoko poor. Listening to Carragher is like having some mutant form of tinitus.

[Toussaint]

Thought the silence was appropriate , didn’t need the knee tonight

So hesgoal.com seems to have moved entirely to Dutch commentaries now. Annoying, as was, up to a couple of weeks ago, the most reliable and faff free streaming service.

is it better and easier to understand than Carragher?

[nta786]

WBA put ball in net, but flag is up.

[Saint_clark]

Could be in trouble here, I don't think he was interfering....

[Saint_clark]

This will be a goal.

Not for me

It’s a goal - fuck

It's going to count

[Saint_clark]

How the fuck have they given that as offside???????

Bang on the money yet again.

[DG]

Got away with that.

[The Cat]

Shite from Forster, shite from VAR.

[nta786]

That should have been a goal in my opinion!!!

I’d rather have had that sort of luck in the semi next Sunday!

[Jimmy_D]

Blimey. Did they not have an angle to use VAR properly there, went with the onfield decision?

Bizarre isn't it. Still, don't mind in this instance.

[adrian lord]

That’s a relegation-side decision by VAR

[Chez]

there was massive push in the back by a WBA player in the build up, so a bit of justice there.

[jasonb]

Hmm. A bit lax from that set piece. Lucky to get the call I guess. 

[Mr X]

Ffs nearly conceding a goal after three minutes why do we always start so poorly 

[jawillwill]

LOL, VAR is great when it's shit.

[Lighthouse]

Must have decided Bartley was interfering. Thought that should have counted personally.

[SKD]

West Brom absolutely robbed there. Pathetic defending from us again. 
 

Ottawa will still blame the ref or VAR for  being against us for something though.

[Saints foreva]

Let off, awful from Forster and that high line is just painful to watch. 

[Sheaf Saint]

That wouldn't have even happened if Bednarek hadn't given away a needless free kick. 

[saint1977]

Fraser is a lucky boy. Terrible flap/push up in the air. Deserved to have one VAR offside go for Saints but harsh to rule it out. If they are that marginal they should all stand. VAR meant to be there for the blooper. 

[Bad Wolf]

The Dutch commentary is fine on Hesgoal but it's very stop start. Anyone got any other suggestions?

[Toussaint]

Do we have a pint and a Kebab as part of our pre match routine these days?

VAR is shit. Should've been a goal. We'd be fuming if it'd been at the other end.

Let off for us there.

[jasonb]

Is it just me or are WBA a big side in terms of height. We look like a team of kids versus them with the exception of the two CB.

It wasn't even marginal, Diang was clearly onside and Bartley was nowhere near interfering.

[Chez]

could have been two down already. they look sharp. we need to wake up a bit.

 

[SKD]

Can only assume the other attacker was blocking the view so therefore couldn’t determine 100% either way, so went with on field ...

[Mr X]

Really poor start from us so far 

[Chris cooper]

Sloppy start again .. bednerak looks a yard slow .. AGAIN 

[nta786]

Have to say in these early stages the defence is not giving me much confidence

[obelisk]

Sloppy from Saints so far. Need to forget about the semi final for a couple of hours.

Agreed. They seemed to give up checking it half way through the investigation. Bizarre

Got to go for us once in a while 

[The Cat]

Better from us

[Saint Fan CaM]

Horribly slow and ponderous start from us as usual. Why does it take 20 minutes to get our passing game going? KWP making a hash of things there.

[whelk]

The mention of JWP dead ball prowess annoys me more than 9-0.

Decent save that one with his legs

[SKD]

We are painfully shit. An absolute hammering incoming Sunday. 

[Saint_clark]

WBA were always going to be full of beans coming into this, we just need to soak up the pressure and deflate them with a couple of sucker punch goals at key times. 

[Mr X]

Jesus we need to wake up 

[nta786]

Have to say we really did get away with WBA goal when they showed it again.

I mean I’m not gonna complain because of the recent calls we have had against us, but I think fans really should be able to hear the VAR refs so we can hear what they are thinking.
