***saints v city official match thread***

[PrezIke]

just seaw a new angle on NBCSN. Forster got the ball first. but it was like razor thin, no way Swarbrick saw it.
so, technically, he got it right.

Except that it wasn't - Sane kicks the ball away from Forster's hand and Forster makes contact with Sane, so clear penalty - the angle you're talking about was an optical illusion (camera behind the goal) - the side on shot shows it more clearly.

Right, because his hand is going away from the camera.

[PeterParker]

No shots on target ..either side.

Thank fuck. We all know what will happen if they shoot at our goal.

[PaulieIrish]

Good half for us, bar a goal or two. Komps has been solid.

What a load of shit. There is one angle that gives that impression, but it's exactly that, just an impression. All other angles show he was nowhere near it.

[Hazy2]

No,player appeals again for a pen.

This.

The rags would had been all over the ref

Remember we were punished for just this against chelsea.

Sorry boys no player thinks, the fine will get us in trouble again. The Lino and ref need a blasting to keep them as honest as we can. Appeal FFS.

[stevefromdonny]

How is that not a yellow?
Pep looks resigned to the fact that we get fucked over every game.

its about time our players and club showed some balls and have a go

[nottsblue]

Considering the pace we have in our side, we are fucking slow at times with the ball

[Beefymcfc]

Fucking cheating fucking bastards!!!

Fuck you you cunts!!!

If Pep doesn't say something after this he needs fucking shoeing!!!!

[PrezIke]

Kev is quiet again

I thought he played fine. Kun and clichy missed how open he was at one point.

He actually did pretty well to break up some of Southampton's passes a few times.

And we all hate the scum and how their players behave. I don't want to be like them, why the fuck would we aspire to be like the scum??

[Dimples]

No way Paulie.
The Rags agenda of top 4 no matter what ruined that half for us.
I wonder what sort of calls the ref will make in their game tomorrow?

[PrezIke]

NBC saying it was not a pen and a good save as we see them switch to the side angle and foster whack Sané's foot.

[MilnersJaw]

yet another fine example of why we need video refs.

[gmercer1]

It's been said a lot on here but we have video evidence to put it all together and go public with "tell us how this is not corrupt"
Pretty much every game we get shafted yet it gets brushed under the carpet.

[PeterParker]

Komps really makes our defence look good.

A few small fuckups, but solid.

[phips]

NBC saying it was not a pen and a good save as we see them switch to the side angle and foster whack Sané's foot.

seems like they're saying its good because Forster did get a touch prior to hitting Sane's foot.
is it still a pen if you take out the man AFTER getting the ball?

Even if he did get a touch on ball Sane is getting g onend of the ball and keeper takes his foot away stopping him getting the ball so how is that not a penalty ?

[KinkyKinkladze]

Kicked off the pitch, definite penalty not given.

If the powers that be are doing this to turn me off watching football anymore, they're doing a good job. Sick to fucking death of the treatment we get game after game.

I am under the impression that's still a pen because it's a foul to me. You don't get free license to hit players attacking your goal just because you are the keeper

[sheblue]

Clear penalty. No debate needed, if it was a rag taken down like that it would be a penalty.
