Saints 1-1 Spurs - Match Thread

[obelisk]

How stupid was that? All that work undone in a flash.

[Saint_clark]

Not even checked for offside, cheating corrupt cunts.

[Mystic Force]

He had already kicked it away before the contact, pants.

 

[DT]

And there it is. Awful challenge. Taylor almost got a semi when he realised he could do his lickle send off

[OttawaSaint]

Ref even threw off FF by telling him to get on the line. He can stand behind the line if he likes.

 

Cheat Taylor.

[Mr X]

Going to be horrendously  tough now 

[BotleySaint]

Can't argue with the second yellow. But his first one was a joke and had this knock on effect. 

[Saint_clark]

That's a red and all !!!!!!

Edit nevermind, not actually in his face.

Saints so, so stupid.

[Saints foreva]

Salisu really isn't as good as people make out on here, our best CB yes but so so clumsy at times. 

[AlexLaw76]

To be fair, Sailsu was asking fr a red, He was throwing himself at everyting.  He needs to be better

[Sheaf Saint]

That's such bollocks cos the first yellow Salisu got was never a yellow. 

[Saint NL]

Such a disappointment.

On top and playing well, then all thrown away in a flash.

 

This ref is weak though, he won't send off the spurs player for this ...

[adrian lord]

Not even a booking for Regulon?

[wooley7]

Did they even look at Son being offside? 

[Saint_clark]

How is that not a freekick to us after all that?

[Jimmy_D]

Was a pen but we’re being shafted by the ref here.

If Salisu's first was a booking then why wasn't this?

[Holmes_and_Watson]

On the plus side, Saints can look back on some great rear guard actions, like that time Jankowitz was sen....ah....never mind...

Because Spurs are a ‘big’ club etc

[OttawaSaint]

Spurs are such a bunch of diving cunts. Ref is as thick as shit. Done like a kipper.

Spoiled a very entertaining game. Saints well on top. Can't have that eh?

Cheats.

Even the commentators glossed over it.

I’d like to see it again.

We need to add Taylor to the Mike Dean/Mason list cos this is the most one sided refereeing performance I’ve seen (excluding the aforementioned) since Kevin Friend against Liverpool.

[Lighthouse]

Hard to say from that angle but looks comfortably onside to me.

[Donatello]

Yeah, Salisu was a walking red card tbh. So infuriating though, after such an impressive 40 mins. Nevermind. Would love to see if Son was offside though. Don't understand why it wouldn't be checked, or shown ('cos it would've been close)

[trousers]

And that should be his second yellow...

[OttawaSaint]

Regillon diving in, just a yellow. Figures.

[SNSUN]

Ref really has been awful. Card Happy. This game is over as a contest. Valery at centre back in a two? Either we bring on an untested Simeu or Romeu that can play there. Brave to stick with Valery from here.

[santolijador]

All the silliness aside, Perraud looks solid

[DT]

So Reguoilon should now be also sent off

crap biased ref

Got the screen shot wrong, played on by the player bottom right

 

[jasonb]

It's the hope that kills you... bossed them for 40 minutes. Aggressive, fluid attacking play. Story of our recent form I suppose. 

[adrian lord]

Conte will rocket Spurs at half time  - they have been utter gash.

[Saint_clark]

Pissed right off now.

[OttawaSaint]

We always get jobbed like this. 

Had it been Saints diving then the ref would not give us a thing and we get labeled as divers and not get decisions in future games. Kane shouldn't even be playing after that b foul vs Liverpool.

[DT]

Trouble is, our one way of playing - the press - is now dismantled

So many bad refs in this league it’s amazing

[nta786]

Same. This could have been a good game and advert for the PL but the referee had to ruin it with inconsistent and what looks like biased decisions. 
A great shame, however theres 45m left and I hope Spurs look leggy 2nd half.

[trousers]

Decent first half marred by poor/inconsistent refereeing. Inevitable that we will lose now, which at least will give Lord D an opportunity to play his "forum muppets blaming the ref" card.

He got the ball, yellow for being out of control. Right decision.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Alvin Martin: I think Anthony Taylor has has a really good half.

[obelisk]

Better to keep 11 on the pitch than to concede a stupid penalty and a daft 2nd yellow. Have to blame Salisu there even if the first yellow was nuts.

[wooley7]

One situation changes the game so much. Really felt we could have won this, 1 up with plenty on the bench would have been a strong position for us.

Unfortunately the ref got it right, Salisu so close to getting a touch, from one angle a thought he had.

Hopefully we can stay solid and keep them at bay with the cavalry coming from the bench to get the winner. 
 

Reguillon definite candidate for a red, get at him!!

[Fan The Flames]

There is no issue with Salisu's yellows

Yeah, fair enough, played on by Perraud. Taylor has still been abysmal though (albeit not for that passage of play).

Make up your mind - it's either one or the other.

Yep. Onside. Clear yellow and although the first yellow was soft ish but he'd been flying at everything. Regardless, he'd been given it and only has himself to blame for the second.

The red and the inevitable outcome is down to Salisu, not the ref or spurs.

Yep just before the incident I was going to come on here and say I can’t see Salisu staying on the pitch as he seemed to be taking the press hard instruction to over 100% of what he should’ve. 
 

shame as we were playing well and it looked like we had gone back 3 years to when Ralph took over with the high energy in the final 3rd, winning the ball back early and giving spurs loss time at all
