Yes we are. Terrible penalty call, and then totally bottling a clear second yellow for Caicedo, not once but twice

Don't think so, because play is stopped when the penalty is given.

Learn the laws. As crap as it was all round, the drop ball was correct

Bit disappointed with the subs today, it was just RDZ getting his best eleven on the pitch but i thought a bit more creativity in the subs would have been better. Adingra wasn't having a good game, Buonanotte was, I'd have left the latter on instead, and maybe withdraw one of the full backs then and go three at the back. But oh well.
There are about 5 people who post on NSC who do that.
For the rest of us we shrug and move on
Oh well, didn’t expect to get anything from that anyway.
Bored of talking about refs and VAR, need to focus on ourselves as to be honest, we weren’t great again today.
Really poor first 40 minutes and our defending again has generally not been good enough. Dunk’s idiocy at Forest certainly didn’t help and we didn’t create anywhere near enough quality chances in nearly an hour of football against 10 men. Appreciate the Thursday/Sunday thing and injuries/suspensions but definitely things to work on with the players we do have available.

I agree, which merely reinforces why VAR ( and whatever corruption may/may not be behind it) nust be scrapped.
the referees need balls, and they'll only get them if they're not being undermined by fuckwits and money launderers.
we also need to bring back linesmen, to work with the referee . . . Not just jogging jugglers doing f*** all
The bottom line is that we were given a lifeline ( at 2 -0) by a valid sending-off, yet we failed to capitalise on it for an entire 45 mins.
Their iffy penalty was the nail in the coffin, as I couldn't really see us coming back to score a further 2 goals.
At least it wasn't the thumping than many here expected, but we certainly had a chance to salvage a point....possibly more.

Unfortunately it’s not. Go read the laws of the game

Today we played well but defended poorly. Thursday we played poorly but defended well.

What a bizarre game.
A lot to think about.
Another game where refereeing was all over the shop and completely determined the result.
Being on the wrong side of it this time, we have every right to feel aggrieved.
The refereeing in this country is an absolute joke. More often than not the drama is with the erratic refereeing, rather than the game of football itself.
Wouldn't say we deserved to win... Or lose... Who knows what the result would have been if we had reliable refereeing in the PL.

I still think VAR should be binned. Its just wrong on every level.
That always does the trick for me too, it lances the loss boil.
SPOT ON sir.

He was mouthing something at the away end but the camera didn’t show it for long
Worse than that though - it was the other way round. They should have been down to nine men before the penalty.

I’m just confused, when do we get our penalty?
