charlotte_nash8: Not being able to go to the #WatfordFC game is bad enough but stuck in a lecture theatre in this heat & a saints fan in front of me is hell
Saints a completely different team since we were defrauded out of a clean sheet. I just don't buy the idea that decisions even out over a season. We'll go nine matches where a referee appears against us, and once in a blue moon have one who gives us every decision under the sun (Sheffield United at home last year for example). The two do not even one another out.
Acccording to the BBC Southampton have just had their first shot on target and possession is 42%/58% to us.
Well we werent given a penalty at the vic for about 2 years and then we got the 2 against cardiff. However, i do agree. We should have several decisions our way but we dont get them.
Even if the number of decisions even themselves out, the direct points cost doesn't. Apart from Sheffield United, I can't remember the last time a literate supporter of another club seriously suggested that the referee favoured us.
1-0 to the referee, to the referee 1-0!!! Bassini is around somewhere and paid JM and SMcGinn a visit before kick off.
