    I’m definitely no expert on these but don’t recognise any? (expecting to get well & truly trounced now). Ps. Need some humour in my football life.

    Not just you, that was my reaction too. Who on earth are these people?

    Tom Bramall is an English association football referee from Sheffield, Yorkshire. His county FA is the Sheffield and Hallamshire Football Association. He is a Select Group 1 Referee and officiates primarily in the Premier League.

    He had previously been a maths teacher at Outwood Academy Valley but had to sadly leave his job to focus more on his dream of becoming a full time referee.

    Premier League 6 games 20 yellows no reds.

    Did the Forest game that we lost 0 - 1.

    Will be in Southampton this weekend but undecided yet as to whether I'll be at St Mary's.

    Might go just to witness @Saints Fan4Life and @LincolnSaint having a breakdown in public.

    I'm watching paint dry this weekend, so there'll be no public breakdown from here. Sorry to disappoint.

    You aren't alone in feeling like that, it seems to be the thing to do these days, all I can say is that in over 70 years of watching football, booing has never achieved anything, it probably just makes the perpetrator feel better, as if they have done something. Clapping them off is more likely to make them feel embarassed at having failed to perform. Only human beings after all.

    I’ve always said we get the newbies. We’re not a hostile stadium (fans) & our players are the least moaning, so it makes sense to try them out here. Plus if anything really contentious, it doesn’t matter because we’re not big8(?)

    I have never booed, I am very positive and encouraging when at the stadium. But my god the players deserve it this season.

    I'm not going. Saturday is the nicest weather of the week, so going to spend the day at home with my old dog and sit in in the garden. I will venture in at 3pm to watch it on Peacock, but I am pretty sure i will be back in the garden by 3:30 at the latest.

    Can't see the point or the hassle of driving to Southampton, trying to find somewhere to park, walking to the ground and having **** food, then watching 90 minutes of pointless football where we huff and puff for 20 mins then lose 3-1.

    I’m in your camp, but I may mutter to myself as I’m walking away from the ground like, “ you lazy useless ****ers “

    I have nothing to say about this game, our useless team or hopeless management so this is the best I can offer at this stage of the season. Can you actually single out the team, the manager and the board?

    While I'm here, one of the many sad memories of this season is the morons who sang "sacked in the morning" to Ralph. They should be embarrassed with themselves but I doubt they are.

    Ralph is a decent bloke and I think the weight of responsibility that he took on day to day, showed that he cared but it also drained him of the energy needed to keep going at this level. I guess we will never know but, If Ralph had had a holiday during the World Cup break instead of the sack; Would Saints have avoided relegation? I bet Semmens and Ankersen must be asking themselves that a lot more than most.

    Ankersen won’t. Let’s not underestimate his ego.

    No breakdown from me because that would suggest I'm upset. I'm not, I'm pissed off. Besides, rather than spend my day being pissed off at a group of millionaires barely in to their twenties who give not one solitary **** about me or the club, I'm simply not going. I'm not attending for the rest of the season either. Why would I piss away family money on fuel, food and some ****e from the club shop?

    Where have all of these bedwetters and crybabies come from? We never had them pre Internet, at least we never heard from them.

    If you are a Happy Clapper and you know it, clap your hands...

    The wife and I had this match pencilled in to attend…….but after recent months….nah.
    I will probably watch the start of game on IPTV, then once we are 2 down I will go to the pub instead.
