CB Fry Posted 18 May, 2021 Share Posted 18 May, 2021 Well, at least we can take comfort from a decent half of football during the post-mortem of the inevitable defeat. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwertyell Posted 18 May, 2021 Share Posted 18 May, 2021 Lot of huff and puff but shite in the final third. Found ourselves with someone running at the heart of their defence several times but lacked the composure and quality to play the right pass. Probably shot our bolt now. Maybe put Djenepo and Walcott on in the second half... What have we done to deserve another game of Efan Ekoku and his weird grievance against all things Saints related on commentary?

Hardly an advantage. By the time he got to the ball the defender had recovered and he was practically on the touch line. Had he gone down, that’s a pen. Why shouldn’t it be when he stays on his feet? Stonewall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been the perfect opportunity to try and stop players going down easily but instead the refs are effectively encouraging it and making their job harder. Said it before but don’t see why the Premier League that wants the best players in the world doesn’t go and get the best refs from other countries as well.

But you know what, sure, it should have been a penalty and I'm sure we can all agree that's yet more evidence that Forster should be number 1 instead of this ridiculous rotation policy.
