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?

Erm, they are both on already.

Well, I find him a good commentator, and don't hear any particular bias.

Shouldn’t need to. Stone wall penalty. Terrible of VAR to ignore it. 

Kind of agree but you're into a whole new labyrinth of clear and obvious interpretations if they start giving penalties that could/should have resulted in the attacker going to ground when they didn't.

Why? You can't have the advantage and the chance to score and then still want the penalty when you don't.

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.

Stonewall. 

If he hasn't got to the ball after the contact then a penalty should be given, but what if he'd blown the whistle for a penalty as bamford slotted it into the net?

But you don’t need to go to ground for it to be a foul by the letter of the law. That’s just the interpretation the incompetent refs have.

But he didn’t and regardless, VAR should have pulled it back as it was an obvious foul.

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.

Agree. Mike Riley, is absolutely useless as the head of PGMOL.

Have you heard of the advantage rule? The referee can wait and pull play back. It happens nearly every week. I’m surprised you didn’t know that.

I've seen refs play advantage before for fouls outside the box and then pull things back for the freekick when the advantage didn't play out. Don't see why that can't also happen for penalties

Of course I know about that, and in this situation if he hadn't got to the ball after the contact then it should be pulled back. But he still got the ball after the contact and still did nothing with it.

So players should be given the advantage to see if they score and then if they don't still given the penalty anyway? 

But there wasn’t an advantage, was there. By the time he got the ball, the chance to slot it in had gone. 
 

If that had happened the other end, you’d be outraged.

No I wouldn't. 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.
