I didn’t think that was a yellow card or a foul. It’s a contact sport ffs he barely laid a finger on him.

I think the foul on its own would have been fine.

Damn, he looked alright in a back three against Tottenham too, but he’s hopeless as a right-back.

Weird that he used to be our bright hope when we had Cedric. Now we’re spoiled at right-back.

Can't put your arm on someone like that when you are already booked. Should have just let him run through and miss.

Technically a foul (in today's soft football world) but amazing how a tap on the shoulder causes a grown man to tumble over like a sack of spuds

Saints need to finish some of this excellent approach play, should be 2 or 3 up. Daft challenge from Valery on Barry White.  As an aside the appalling BBC commentary appears to be provided  by the Swansea Car park stewards and burger bar staff - niche.

Valery misses the header and is in trouble, but Obafemi makes the most of it. The early yellow was well deserved, but Forster's poor kicking contributed to that.

O’bafemi was nowhere close to getting to the ball, it went straight through to Forster.

Dopey defending, two yellows inside 30 minutes when your team has been in the ascendancy ffs.

On the other hand though, this game was looking pretty comfortable for us, maybe with a man down it’ll be even now.

We never do things easy do we

Valery you stupid twat

Club need to ring St Etienne on Monday and get that loan sorted out for him to go. Free transfer if they want to take him full time if Yann waives any pay off. If RH needs cover in that area we can bring a right sided loan in now. Brentford delighted for Tuesday day now with Saints having to play for 60 minutes with 10 men. Regretting not being more clinical with those chances. 

Manager has criticised Salisu for not following instructions v Spurs in not letting the keeper save, next game the bonehead does the same thing and far from certain Obafemi even gets to the ball unlike Son who would have been 1-1 with Fraser. Last game Valery plays for us I reckon.

Obafemi with his usual shit touch but Valery just couldn’t help himself 

Expand  

it was a shit touch, but I guess his pace contributed. Valery misjudged the ball over his head. Lack of games an issue maybe?

Not a red card for me tbh, Oba made no effort to stay on his feet, I'd give the foul but the red card was very harsh

Commentator -  “I bet he [JWP] hasn’t played there [right back] too many times”

These lot have done no research

These commentators don't know what there on about. Confused Valery with tella earlier too.

So don’t do it. He’s on a yellow and nowhere near the ball, which has already run away to the ‘keeper.

Expand  

Have you never nearly bumped into someone and held your hand out as a buffer? It's an instinctual reaction, and there is absolutely no way there was enough contact to affect Obafemi in any way at all. Ref was conned.

I said as soon as he was booked that he needs pulling off. He’s just not got the right mentality to change the way he plays.

It’s ironic that Obefami showed the type of nouse that we seem to lack so often.

Never simple is it! We should be 0-3 up but instead it's game on and our players are now going to have to do a lot of running before an important match this Tuesday.

Yes, but at least they can't confused valery and tella anymore. They also said we had a midfielder at left back straight after saying about JWP playing at right back. Terrible

Valery was gradually working is way back into Ralph's good books, despite some reservations, but that might remove him from the reckoning.

No big problem with the second yellow, but I think refs need to be a bit more tolerant before showing the first. With good refs a word in the ear is just as effective as a yellow, and it doesn't spoil games.
