People will say the referee has ruined this match, but the players have been absolutely dreadful.
They've made it nearly impossible to referee, trying to cheat, gain an advantage or get an opponent booked or sent off at every opportunity.
This had been a poor advert for the Premier League.
@sixpointertom Little is a great signing, Nevitt been limited due to injuries and service, Nolan is bang out of form, the pace is with Rowe and he’s injured, Dack has done 60-90 minutes, Andrews could go down as one of our poorest signings due to injuries, haven’t addressed a lot of the issues
There’s an awful lot of people throwing blame at the recruitment team for our failings so far this season?
Needed a goal scorer? Did that.
Needed more pace and creativity? Did that.
Needed more in wide areas? Did that.
No fault of the recruitment team if the players aren’t cutting it. That’s on the players.
First half spineless, second half desperation. Beginning of season looked like we had cohesion and a team spirit. Now we look lost and with no answers, some players simply not good enough, not enough competition for places. Bonner isn’t the problem, give the kids a go Saturday.
I have just realised something and nobody has picked up on it.
Watch the incident back of the sending-off. The referee did not see it as his view was blocked. He certainly did not see that faint touch by Rice.
The only way he knows what's happened is by VAR telling him. The law clearly states that VAR cannot interfere or advise the match referee about any yellow card decision, even if it's a second yellow. They can only intervene if a yellow card should be upgraded to a straight red.
It's very clear now that we have VAR officiating the game and breaking its laws of the game. If you cannot see how corrupt that is then you're beyond help.
The UK is on its arse.
TWO CHILDREN DEAD.
NINE CHILDREN STABBED, SIX NOW IN A CRITICAL CONDITION.
TWO ADULTS ALSO IN A CRITICAL CONDITION.
These children were attending a Taylor Swift dance event in Southport.
The adults were trying to save the children.
Heartbreaking ❤️🩹
