It has to be said, that little pockets of fans from both clubs acted appallingly on Saturday, and it shames me having read that. I would act exactly the same if someone targeted my wife.
It was laughable that leading up to the game, both sets of fans were claiming not to care about the other...
No sympathy with them. The police warned us publicly that any Saints fans involved in homophobic abuse would be arrested.
To be honest, they should be charged with being totally unoriginal as well. I swear the intelligence levels of terrace banter died with the invention of the Premier League.
I did, and I disagree. Only the Fonte one definitely wasn't a penalty.
The Painter one is the clearest of the lot, I think the word the commentator used was assault......
Anyway like I said I didn't come here for an argument, we will never agree on this. We deservedly won the game and that is...
It looks like contact with Lambert to me. Not much maybe, but there doesn't have to be. Making a tackle inside the box, and making contact with the man, not the ball is a penalty surely.
It makes little difference either way. We should have had other penalties. The result would have been no...
Depends what you call a dive I suppose. For me a dive is when there is no contact.
Both Hammond and Lambert went down under contact. Did they make a meal of it? Perhaps, but contact still means foul.
The Fonte one was absolutely bizzarre. There was clearly contact, but was it inside the box...
We moaned certainly. Not going to argue there, but we had several clear penalties denied, I think we had the right to a little moan.
As for staying on our feet. Maybe a fair point. Hammond made a meal of Harper's tackle, though there was contact. Other than that we went down due to being...
Refrained from coming on here too soon after Saturday, as feelings were running a bit high, but just wanted to say, no hard feelings for Saturday.
Strange game, and as has been discussed to death, the referee had a shocker, although I think the poor decisions were equally bad towards both...
To be fair to him, he has probably ensured our fans won't go for the unoriginal homophobic stuff.
It will all be racism based and directed at Gus now....
