[coalman]

Ref. That's poor

[BotleySaint]

Clear pen. Idiot ref.

Stop fucking diving and shoot Brooks!

He was cleaned out! Penalty all day long.

[igsey]

Absolute stonewall penalty. Referee has bottled it.

[Jimmy_D]

That’s shameful by the ref.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Total pen that one. Brooks dive earlier influencing his call?

[Sheaf Saint]

Ref saying he got the ball.

He didn't.

[obelisk]

Stephens might like to try not giving the ball away and ending up out of position.

[saintant]

West Brom obviously changing tactics. RM needs to react.

[NewYorkSaint]

Now do we hate VAR?!

[Sheaf Saint]

VAR definitely gives that one.

[trousers]

Martin going to get sent to the stands here if he's not careful

Agree. Just seen the replay.

[coalman]

Penalty and it's tie over

[SNSUN]

Players done well but I'd get Fraser off.

[OttawaSaint]

Ughhh, that was a textbook penalty. FFS!

[Osvaldorama]

Ref is a prick. Stonewall. Utter bell end 

[Chez]

RM: "its a penalty...and that's a foul"

[trousers]

The penalty was so obvious that's gotta be one of the worst refereeing decisions this season. Can't get something that basic wrong.

[Saint_clark]

Stewart on for Brooks please. 

[igsey]

Penalty bottle-job aside, we did very well with our pressing to create the chance, and Aribo did well to find Brooks who should have been rewarded with a penalty.

[adrian lord]

Very poor referee. 

[Lighthouse]

I think this chap is taking the phrase ‘playoff second leg’ a little bit too literally.

i agree

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Not the best touch from AA. I thought he was...  flag up anyway.

Brooks has had a decent game IMO. Would take off Fraser for Stewart instead .

He has but Brooks can't play wing back so he has to come off. 

[SNSUN]

Shit. What a save Alex.

[Saint NL]

Mara doing some river dance warm up

[Winnersaint]

Big save by Macca

[UpweySaint]

Twins finally in bed and sleeping and I've missed us going one up! Any decent streams appreciated please, talksport alone is anxiety inducing.

[obelisk]

Albion getting far too many chances.

[OttawaSaint]

WBA rolling the dice. Changing things up. *gulp*

[coalman]

Edozie would have this right back on toast. Stewart would eat these centre backs for breakfast.

[SNSUN]

Defence didn't deal with that. Come on lads. 

[Saint_clark]

Bazunus injury keeping us in this.

[Farmer Saint]

What a save

RM not reacting as usual.

[bangkoksaint]

This isn’t ending 1-0

[Mr X]

It was a penalty but not given because again brooks completely over eggs the fall and the red thinks it's a dive!  

[Saint NL]

Manning coming on 😳

[obelisk]

Best chance now for Saints to break the Albion defensive line. Should be looking to get a second.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Half the defence on the deck... Pauses for hand ball claim and Alex with a smart reaction stop.

Or two nil 

[trousers]

Manning for Fraser... QUÉ?

[Chez]

WBA are really dangerous at set pieces. Bartley especially. Another reason for playing Stephens I guess.

[Sheaf Saint]

Erm...

[OttawaSaint]

Oh jesus, he's trying to sit on this lead...

[coalman]

Manning is the hero we need

[Farmer Saint]

VAR should remain for penalties, and very dangerous challenges, but that's it.
