He clearly made contact with Stu and took his trailing leg out before he got the ball.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Bamford looks crocked…good. It won’t help us mind…we look like the away side.

[sydney_saint]

The red card was a tricky one. It's a foul as he goes right through Armstrong. But because by giving it, you have to give the red, it wasn't given.

[igsey]

I think if the ref had given it as a red, VAR wouldn't have overturned it and Leeds would be down to 10.

Aside from everyone on BT sport agreeing Llorente got away with one.

[Dorchester Saint]

WOW BELLA-KOTCHAP!!!

[OttawaSaint]

Ohhhh close by ABK!

[badgerx16]

Djenepo's first touch is non-existant.

[Mr X]

God the commentators definitely want to talk about Leeds! 

[The Kraken]

Lovely run and shot from Ketchup!

[Saint NL]

That would have been sensational.

 

[BotleySaint]

Great energy and pace from Ketchup.

 

[OttawaSaint]

Ah that's too bad for Bamford. He's had horrible luck with injures. Dan James on. CBs need to be on their toes.

[obelisk]

Ralph will be having a word with Ketchup after that attacking run.

[The Kraken]

Thundering defensive header from Billy Ketchup there, wouldn’t fancy being marked by him.

[OttawaSaint]

Leeds getting away with a lot of niggly fouls.

[saintscottofthenortham]

Dismal watch this is… 🙄

[adrian lord]

KWP down now

[OttawaSaint]

This is fucking dire!

[OttawaSaint]

Refs whistle works then...

[The Kraken]

This really is a poor game. I know it’s hot, but blimey. Saints are no longer a team that neutrals will say ‘they’re good to watch’.

[Mr X]

We just can't get a grip on the game 

[CanadaSaint]

ABK is making last week’s starting lineup look even more mental.

[OttawaSaint]

City (De Brunye) 2-0 Bournemouth 

[sydney_saint]

Ref is having a shocker here. I get they want to let the game flow. But that doesn't explain why Leeds are getting the niggly freekicks

[Mr X]

Salisu not looking the best 

[OttawaSaint]

With ABK being this good there's no need to have Bednarek out there. 

[OttawaSaint]

Saved Bazunu!

Edit; and again!

Looks like I picked the game to watch to stop drinking.

I’d rather play with ten men and not have Bednarek there, full stop 🤣

[Baird of the land]

Awful defening by Bednarek. Thankfully Bazanu bailed him out.

[The Kraken]

Crap defending from Bednarek, could have just stepped up and played him offside there. Instead he dropped back to be last man and just got ripped.

[adrian lord]

Good save

He needs a solid LWB alongside him, or he gets sucked out of position to cover and then struggles to fulfill his main role.

[Mr X]

Jeez thank god McCarthy's not in goal 

[allsa001]

Have to say, our new players have started the season well.

 

Is anyone else watching on saints player and having buffering issues.

[Baird of the land]

Massive let off

He’s keeping us in it

[The Kraken]

Should be 1 down there. 2 men completely free at the back post.

[BotleySaint]

First tests for defence. Failed both 

GK bailed them out.

[nta786]

They are looking better, we are playing like the away team, but if we win this by a smash and grab then I really won’t care. 

Until then I’ll be calm

[Jack]

Jesus we’re bad at the back. Bailed out by Big Baz. Back 3/5 is horrible and I can’t believe we’re not a back 4 with 2 holding to protect them 

[saintscottofthenortham]

Very lucky not to be 0-1 there. Defence completely missing, again. Two men at the back post, completely unmarked. No excuse for that not being buried.

 

We’re utter shite, here. 

[ecurnew02]

Lavia’s tackling is so good 

[OttawaSaint]

Arsenal (Jesus) 2-0 Leicester 

[Mr X]

Zero cutting edge from us 

[OttawaSaint]

So apart from ABKs shot what else have we done?

[adrian lord]

Better competitiveness but poor cross 

[SNSUN]

Bompey won't be the first team steamrollered by City this season.
