I have admitted saints got away with the 1st pen. The 2nd looks fine to me. The Painter/Lambert non-penalty was the most blatant foul I've seen in a long time, god knows why Walton didn't give it as he was 5 yards away and it wasn't in the usual 6 yard box mass bundle, which I could have...
Put it this way, if the penalty decisions had been for you and not Saints, we'd be having the same conversation in reverse. Such is football.
But Lambert is no diver, he was in the same position a few moments before and took a shot (which was brilliantly saved, although both the ref and...
A striker like Lambert who has a sniff of a shot on goal, never goes over unless there is contact. Plus considering he's built like a brick shithouse, takes a fair amount of contact and effort to knock him over... as proven by Painter having to use his full body weight and throw himself at...
Just a little stat for you. Saints have not lost any points after taking the lead in our last 36 games (excluding the cup game against Man Utd) I saw no evidence on Saturday of that stat changing considering Brighton's lack of creativity & aerial threat in the final third.
The game could well...
Yes, but without the industrial heartlands and ports, no one but the inbred royals and upper class chinless wonders would have contemplated visiting the seaside for recreation. Really, its' only the fact that Brighton is geographically in a straight line down from London that it became popular...
It can go alongside the Gus Poyet creche for him to inhabit when he next feels like having a little tantrum. Diddums.
Can even sort out the Craig Mackail-Smith money pit as well, if you have anymore waste of money players to dispose of.
Chaplow's tweet was just about Tarrico's gesture after the red card. I could see Taricco doing it as he walked off, but couldn't make out what he was really doing. Only the ref and the other Brighton players know why he got a red card, I presume it was just a mouthful of abuse at the ref and...
Most of this hatred is just the same old mob mentality that still exists in most forms of society in the UK. Get people out of a crowd and on their own and the vast majority wouldn't say boo to a goose (let me make it clear, I am not goosaphobic).
Don't understand why anyone still thinks the England job is a step up from managing at club level. It's a shite job, too much pressure, no time to work with players and when you do have the players at your disposal, there are inter-club rivalries to deal with and many players who just don't...
Saints were on the receiving end at Leicester earlier this season when we battered them but the ref gave us nothing and the home side everything, including a winning goal from a player clearly pushing Lambert and the ball over the line.
So it does even itself out over the season and the penalty...
