Jesus, why did that take so long to check and confirm? It was so obvious even without the lines.

Desperately looking for a way to give it. 

[niceandfriendly]

My god he wanted to give that didn't he?

You just know the VAR cunt spent 2 mins on VAR desperately searching for a reason to give City a pen.

Expand  

Minutes looking for a reason to give theirs, minutes looking for a reason not to give ours 

[Chapel End]

A defeat wouldbe hard to take, when we should be 1 up

[OttawaSaint]

Great opportunity and we play for time?

 

[Suhari]

How. Just how does that need checking for so long?!

And probably add on another 5 minutes to give them a chance to score.... 

[obelisk]

Should have tried to score.

+8 minutes so far

[igsey]

Excellent point.

[Viking Saint]

Massive point that, and hugely deserved

[NewYorkSaint]

Brilliant, Saints.   And (with a couple of reservations) brilliant, Ralph!

[moonraker]

Brilliant we may actually have a defence dispite the expert views on here

 

 

[It's There]

Well done Saints

 

[Lighthouse]

Kaboom!

Chin up, you just know a goal against ten men would have jolted them into life for a 2-1 defeat.

[adrian lord]

Great point. Should have been 3. 

[Turkish]

Fantastic result that. City been smashing teams at home. Maybe it could have been better but still a very pleasing result. Dare I say it but have we developed a bit of backbone and grit?

[Plastic]

I’ll take that

[NewYorkSaint]

Have never felt so unfairly treated by the officials......................🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈

[Chapel End]

Robbed but a decent point

[Baird of the land]

Fab point and display by Saints. Still annoyed at the overturned penalty. Was so worried how long it took them to call Sterling offside.

[Saint Matty 76]

Unbelievable performance from the lads out there.

Disgusting decision may have cost us three points but played their hearts out there.

[miserableoldgit]

Just been reading through all the "Ralph doesn't know what he's doing" posts earlier in the thread....can't wait for the excuses/justifications....

Fair fucks Saints. Much the better team and they offered absolutely nothing.

Yep. Can't be bothered to moan, it's an absolutely fantastic result. 

[Suhari]

Wow.

How much extra time did he give?!

Fantastic point though.

We're growing.

[OttawaSaint]

Hmm. Well played, great result but like last week I fell we’ve missed a big opportunity to win. Some very weak finishing.

[Sir Ralph]

Great performance- robbed by that twat Moss

[obelisk]

Got to be happy with a point today but with some composure in attack we'd have knicked it even with that penalty robbery.

[Jimmy_D]

Well done Saints.

Excellent performance, well worth the point, feels like we’ve been robbed of two points but at least we didn’t get robbed of all three.

[SaintBobby]

Robbed. But great point and truly excellent performance.

[DT]

Amazing result

Yep need to wait to see how it pans out before overreacting

[Sunglasses Ron]

2 clean sheets in a row, we may be onto something!

[Saints foreva]

Well done boys. That was a well earned point and the players played their roles well. Ralph got his tactics spot on.

Great result - I’d ask duckgrunter about the backbone and grit though - seems to know his stuff

Yes aren’t they funny, 

 

[Saint NL]

Fantastic result.

Could have been all three points, were has that steel and determination been hiding? A most un-Saints performance.

 

Very happy, let's keep that up

And I nearly cried to Redmond and moi in, what must tella and borje be thinking.

Oh, we've dropped out best player so far this season. Of course we have.

This fucking manager, man.

Good luck to Bednarek, I guess. He's on a hiding to nothing today.

Terriible choices by Ralph eh?

[obelisk]

That's 4 points more than I thought we'd have by this time. 😁

[qwertyell]

Fair play - great effort.

Now back it up with a win in the cup and against Wolves and against all odds it'll look like a pretty decent start.

Back to back clean sheets: what a novelty.

[Shanghai Saint]

Great point, utterly rigged league. They took our pen away, did their best to find Sterling onside and then tried to play as long as it took for City to score.
