There are a couple of things over the last 3 or 4 years where I've genuinely thought we are targeted.

There's the recent evidence that a ref had already decided to book Alioski so his mates won money.

One that's overlooked is our first game back in the PL at Anfield. Struijk gave a penalty away after the ball bounced up off his thigh and on to his arm. After that game they changed the rules so that wouldn't be a penalty in future. In my eyes, that meant we were playing by different rules to the rest of the league as the rule was only changed after we had lost the game. Fast forward to White Hart Lane and Harry Kane handled the ball as it headed in to the net for an equaliser for us. Penalty wasn't given as the rule had been changed. We were ****dd over twice by that one.

Then there was the Paddy one when his hand was offside. Rule was relaxed afterwards so we were the ones ****ed over again.

Chelsea away. Poveda brought down in the box by Rudiger. Stone cold penalty. Not given in the game due to him going down too easily. Apology received by the ref. Next season, Rudiger goes down like a sack of **** after minimal contact. Penalty given straight away. Chelsea played to different rules to us in that league.

Its not a coincidence anymore in my eyes. Maybe I'm pissed off and down in the dumps but I've felt that way for a while. The big moments never go in our favour.

Liverpool player tangling with Struijk, nothing given then when stretchered off, Red to Struijk due to nature of the injury, no bones broken though, ref is not a medical expert, why are other players never sent off if someone needs to be substituted after a heavy tackle

VAR !!!! It’s a load of bollocks, takes on average 2-4 mins to make a decision in there cosy little room, total bullshit, and some of them decisions are suspect.
Mike Dean on Sky is a fkg joke, infact Sky is a joke, Lee Hendrie talks utter rubbish, if his tactics are so good then why ain’t he a coach, because he is a knob.

Just rewatched their goal again. Piss poor goalkeeping, piss piss poor. Any semi decent goalie saves that. With respect to Eire, because I’m usually in lockstep with him, but our defence generally concedes less shots at goal than other teams, which is why we don’t let in many. They can’t, however, stop every team from having a shot, so the least they can expect is for Mes to save the odd one. It’s too many times now that the first shot on target goes into our net to call it bad luck. We need to get a decent keeper in on loan in January if we want promotion.

Most of us were saying pre season he is the weak link and needs replacing, he's a poor keeper, yet there seems no desire to replace him from the powers that be. We know all keepers make mistakes but his are constant

The keeper we need will not be available till summer but only if we’re in pl. caoimhin Kelleher wants away from Liverpool but he wouldn’t drop a division and we can’t afford him. As good as he is though he had a couple of clangers in recent games

:emoticon-0137-clapp Been saying this for years, glad someone else feels the same. <hug>
 
All I want to say on the matter of the 2nd yellow if that was the other way around the ref would of swallowed his whistle in blowing and sending him off. I just don't know what goes through the heads sometimes. Then he has the cheek of booking our manager for going over the top. decisions like that it make you boil over because they are so shyte at their job. The Ref bottled alot of things yesterday that awful cnut who got Mes sent off last season and bit a Blackburn player this season was always leaving a foot in on Rodon they say ride the attention don't let it get to you but sometimes it narks the fook out of you both were studs up on the Achilles dirty barstewart, That's 2 reds card in 2 games we have fallen foul too it really does make you wonder sometimes it really does.

My take (the only view that counts obviously).. we gave the ball away on the edge of their box, it happens. Struijk gets done… either too tight… or not tight enough to his man. Bogle has to get back faster and get between the scorer and the cross. Meslier should save it.

From their point of view it was a great goal. Frustrating that we seem to need 10 crosses like that before we get a good one. They had 2 attacks, scored 1 and the striker shoulders an easy header for a second.

Frustrating as hell that these away games follow a seemingly identical pattern. Opponents need 1 chance to score and take it
 
Burnley losing at half time. Norwich the better side and deservedly lead.

Burnley will probably win 2-1 and that's how you get promoted. Sheff Utd were given a run around by Plymouth yesterday but ended up winning 2-0.

Like Sheffield Utd, we need to find a way to win matches however good or bad we play.

I think you get promoted by having more points than 22 other teams which leeds currently have. Leeds were 2 1 down at Swansea at half time and won 4 3

1-2 with 5 mins left…. looking like a fairly accurate prediction at the moment .

Burnley, blunts, Blackburn consistently winning games where they’ve not been the better side. Think Burnley have upped it this half to be fair, but some of the others have been getting real runs of good luck.
