Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

Thought he was ok today. Propper was no way a pen he had an air shot and spun round

Had an excellent game imo. The penalty appeal was correctly turned down. I can normally find fault with the officials when we lose that may have contributed to a defeat, scratching around this time
Perhaps we could blame the assistants

For Murray being offside so often?

If female.
Oliver was fair. Propper got it all wrong and so did the crowd.

No change there
Regarded as one of the best in the league. Showed it. Indeed his performance was probably the standout of the 23 on the pitch

The best Referee we have. Today he let the play flow as much as he could and not one really contentious decision. We were beaten fair and square by a team set up better to do the required job (which i think was a draw but Saints will take any win) Albion were awful and we have been for quite a while now (apart fromPalace) I think it's time to face facts and start looking towards a more adventurous style of play than this boring dross that is being served every week.
From my seat in the East, people were only complaining at Oliver for taking a look when it was clearly fine.

Said exactly the same at the time. Who gives a flying **** in any case. Players do it to wind the crowd up the amount that fell for it was staggering.

isn't this what led to our absolutely horrendous run of results?

Hardly, but to clarify I meant a more adventurous style of play other than waiting until we are behind before looking to threaten. Apart from a solid enough display at Palace and two good first halves at West Ham and Fulham I struggle to think of when Albion have played anywhere near good enough. We are probably the least easy on the eye team in the bottom half apart from Burnley
We played well against CP, Watford and ManU at home. Any others?

I think it was more the fact that Oliver took a leisurely 60 yard STROLL over to have a squiz, before trotting back to the middle.
I fully expect timewasting from the opposition, but to see the ref doing it...bloody hell.
And then in the second half Knockaert placed the ball in a similar position and nothing from the crowd (not even an ironic cheers or smatterings of 'we're getting away with it/two can play that game, eh!' sort of comments.
