Stoke 0-1 Saints - Match Thread

[John Boy Saint]

that’s why you ain’t starting mate

[Saint NL]

Nice pass by Aribo, poor finish from Mara.

Need to make those count

[Sheaf Saint]

Free hit. Got to hit the target there.

[trousers]

Put your life savings on 1-1

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Oooooh... nearly. Wrong option from Mara. Good move though and nice from Aribo.

[Chez]

lovely pass by Aribo to put Mara in.

Is he wearing Che's boots ?

[adrian lord]

Fisticuffs

[whelk]

Pull that cunts hair

[Saint86]

Don't want to Jinx him, but Downes has had a cracking game today.

[SNSUN]

Shabadoo or whatever the Stoke player is called reminds me of that Simpsons bit

[saintant]

Their big lump just barges into Downes and thinks it's not a free kick. Plank!

[Southner]

How the fuck are Stoke aggrieved at that?! 

[Saint Matty 76]

Our lack of ability to kill off games is frightening, but not too surprising given the attacking quality brought on today

Just hope it doesn’t come back to haunt is for the 20th time

[Disco Stu]

We need to sort this inability to kill games.

[Saint_clark]

Go on lads!

[adrian lord]

Fucking ponytail prick

[Saint NL]

Downes got fouled by the big fella, didn't fancy it and started on the little guy 🤣

Poor attempt from Charles. 

Stoke fans getting angry with the ref but every one of these decisions is correct. They're dirty as fuck.

[saintant]

How many times does Manning needlessly give the ball away!

[Saint Matty 76]

Can say what you want but if I were a Stoke fan I’d be absolutely fuming at this ref performance, that is another horrendous missed foul

[Saint_clark]

What exactly did Downes do to get a booking there then?

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Manning is shit

[Saint NL]

Ref loves us, we can't give away a foul 🤣

Life savings done. Let's see what six quid gets me... 😭

[Lighthouse]

That’s not a foul by Manning but f**k me, if giving the ball away was a national sport…

[adrian lord]

Commentators blaming Manning but  the excellent ref’s having none of it and booking the filthy Stoke players

[saintant]

Stoke cheats don't give the ball back.

[John Boy Saint]

Blimey going have to set the News to record at this rate

[Uncle Albert]

Can we have this ref every week?

[Saint_Ash]

Injury time red incoming. 

[Saint86]

Stoke are a really shit side. Play act and complain for absolutely everything and then leave their boots in and kick off with our players off the ball. I sincerely hope we don't drop points here.

Actually wasn't a foul at all.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

One day I'll see us pick out that ball in behind there defence and get our player in on goal.

 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Shocking ref.

[Chez]

Burger is feigning injury there to try and get him sent off. Fuck off you cunt.

[Saint86]

Question over what Mara adds?

[Saint_Ash]

Lolz at Man Utd.

[Saint Matty 76]

Smallbone has to give that to Aribo for fuck sake

[Saint_clark]

And of course they don't give the ball back when we kicked it out for their injured player. Cunts.

[SNSUN]

Wrong option there Smallbone

[kjurwi]

Understanding Stoke being pissed at the ref. 

[Saint_Ash]

10 mins

[OttawaSaint]

10 mins...

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Smallbone picking the wrong option, more a pain since his job is largely to be picking out the right ones.

[Saint_clark]

I got no issue with smallbone shooting there. Aribo was too far wide and would have cut back in onto his left foot so wouldn't have had a shooting opportunity anyway.

[SNSUN]

Can a team that cannot keep a clean sheet keep a clean sheet? Stay tuned.

[Saint Matty 76]

Fraser is absolutely shit
