Another game where the opposition have a different set of rules to us.
Late shoulder to Jack - nothing

Garner - booked

Week after week the officiating for us is lobsided.

Club are pathetic though that we just pump out “strongly” worded statements then accept it

 

[Toffeepot]

OBrien has fast acceleration for a big lad

 

[Rita_Poon]

bogarde booked, kicked out at JG.

 

[Tipp blue]

Barry is actually doing a bit of running, he must have spotted Beto warming up,

 

[Marius57]

Need to make a change but theres no suitable options on the bench

@davek we have loads of options don’t we?

 

[james2805]

We lack attacking players making the right decisions on transitional counter attacks. We got the ball up the left really well and had runners trying to beat the line of their defence, but no cross came in and we just went backwards and they just get back in position. If we want our strikers to score we have to do better.

 

[pfim]

go on then, what is the exact wording you are referring to?

Google it, I’m watching the match

 

[Obes]

Wow, he’s booked a Villa player.

 

[MichaelEFC96]

Imagine we had pace up front, that ball in behind is on all the time.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Barry’s anticipation and movement is terrible.

 

[RalphDring]

What minute is the scheduled Barry for Beto switch? Barry is useless btw

75th minute was mentioned earlier, (I forget who now).

 

[brittcop1]

The linesman did flag for it like to be fair

Which i find weird as eff...the linesman flagged because HE subjectively determined that Armstrong had come back from a previous offside position as was now interfering with play?? One hell of a linesman that!

 

[Rita_Poon]

uh oh, rogers... down in the box, stadium screams, ref waves on....

cash fouls. no card of course. crud!

To a degree aye. Theres poor movement in front as well

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Crying out for a raw fast winger here. Even in place of Grealish. Some good passages of play and they just need a speed merchant to join in.
