Bookings (cards) that's is .............are we dirty or have refs formed an alliance against us?
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Sounded like the ref was rather one sided tbh - fouls carded for us, where similar ones only led to warnings for them. The second Lualua one (just seen it on SSN) was ridiculously soft. Joke decision.

That was the opinion of the BBC Sussex team too.. and they are often scathing about the Albion when we deserve it.
Yeas, sorry - that's what I meant by sounded like.

Lua Lua was being persistently fouled without anyone being booked and Grant Holt should have been booked for a nasty late tackle in the second half.

Anyone else notice Middlesbrough systematically twatting Teixeira on a rota basis at the weekend, till they got him off ? Job done. THATS dirty...not sure I've seen us indulging in those tactics just yet.

I did. It was cynical and should have no place in football. Surprised Naylor didn't comment on it. At least three assaults on him after the head injury, possibly four. I also felt Clayton got his come uppance. Delighted we didn't sign him - a really dirty player.
The referee was one sided when it came to cards with similar tackles by them going unpunished. I agree that Lua Lua's second caution was harsh but that is a risk that you run when you have already been cautioned. I cannot understand why he felt the need to run 30 yards and stand toe to toe with the assistant to complain about a free kick when he wasn't even involved in the challenge. The referee was not going to change his mind and as a result he is out of Saturday's game.
It was all part of Sami being out managed by a disciple of Jose - The Special One.
'Boro knew the formation needed to stop us, and the only player they needed to stop.
They did that, kept to the plan and waited for us to shoot ourselves in the foot.
Bish-bosh, 3 points, NEXT.

With Huddersfield fouling 9 times and us just 10 times how come 50% of our fouls were punished with the back pocket treatment and none of Huddersfield fouls were carded?
Wasn't at the match but it does appear we were filthy southern b@st@rds or cheated by a biased official.
Anyone who went please tell us the story?

Yes, they certainly targeted him and it worked.

I think it was frustration. And who could blame them?

Ref and linesman were simply appalling, so home biased it was not true, Lua Lua does 2 fouls And gets sent off, their centre half did 5 fouls in first half alone and even spoken to?. The linesman on the left from us think was a Huddersfield fan, gave them every decision, plus that was never offside for the goal according to their fans on that side.

Having watched the replay, I think he was on side. Port decision IMHO...

I believe about 70% of refs have it in for us and it almost as if the AMEX has not helped our cause. Did we really get such one sided refs when we were based at the withers?? Prosser aside.
May be we need a new signature song " refs don't likes us we don't care".

I'd love to think he was onside and thought that at the time, but if you find Bozza's thread 'Fine Margins' you will see that he was offside.
LuaLua's first yellow was for dissent. He wasn't anywhere near the original foul and it was nothing to do with him, so he should have kept out of it.
