Amazing how 2 minutes can completely change your mood for the evening! Going to crack another beer open now!
No idea if anyone noticed but as soon as we scored the winner both madison and bissouma went down pretending to have cramp
So well deserved, absolute ****cunts those Sheffield United players. Couldn’t believe only 3 mins added on in the first half and their keeper was lucky he wasn’t carded for timewasting. Let alone the pen. That said we were often wasteful and looked a bit ponderous in the first half. Perhaps a hangover from the international break. Once we sped things up we looked much more dangerous. Great cameo from Johnson who I’m excited to see more of. Made up that Richy came on and got the goal and assist. Looking forward to seeing what my dad has to say about it @Dier Hard
On way home ... read bbc report... not a single mention of the worst refereeing performance I have ever seen live over the course of a whole match.
I want a clip of the game after their KO at 2-1 down, til FT (just to see if they indulged in any time-wasting.
Regardless of the result, that officials performance was dreadful. Major decisions wrong and lost complete control of one of the tamest matches he will ever have in the PL. Mind you, on that performance it should be his last at that level.
Paul Heckingbottom is bemoaning the officials forced Sheffield's Third Best Team to change their tactics In other words, he's talking out of his Heckingbottom
My interpretation of his rant was that the ref prevented them from timewasting. Other than that being the complete opposite of what actually happened, his argument also appears to be in direct contravention of the rules.
Watched MOTD and can not believe that interview with their manager. The highlights actually made the game look even.
