Article: Saints at Villa match thread | Southampton FC, Football

Saints' First Team Analyst Steve Corns on Twitter:

"Stood by a raging #AVFC manager Paul Lambert, banging on the refs door demanding answers!!! #saintsfc great 3 points!"

 

Just finished doing a medical training course and they told me that if someone has a dislocation of any kind now, and she used the example of professional sports, they are not allowed to put it back in immediately. They need to ensure that no nerves, ligaments or tendons get in the way when they put it back in. Otherwise alot of extra damage is done. So there you go that is why he was stretchered off. Would make sense as as he was taken off he had his arms crossed

 

Someone needs to tell the OS that we won...headline is 1.1 draw.

 

What's the point in that? The decision has been made and there's nothing he can do about it. Be a man and move on.

 

Adkins on Rodriguez penalty: "For me there is no contact. We expect players to behave. It is not a dive but there was no contact."

 

That makes sense...the shoulder is a complicated jointand Shaw is worth millions (and we him).

 

Refreshing to see honesty. Better than "uhhh I deed not see ze incident"

 

What was that Clint Eastwood film where he put a shoulder back in himself by jamming it a fence and pulling?

 

Adkins also added that Saints do not condone diving. But added that we've not been given penalties, so this evens it out.

 

Might be a tad calculated...after the run they've had, Villa need a bit of a rallying point, and their manager going berserk in their defense after a bad decision might be as good as any.

 

I this video:

And there's that bit in A Knight's Tale where they put Heath Ledger's arm in some sort of weird vice contraption and twist until it pops back in. Ouch.

 

Lambo on Sky SN says it was a stone wall penalty in his eyes! There seems to be confusion about whether it was given for a foul on JRod or a previous foul on Puncheon, no matter it was given.

 

I think that'd make it worse. We know Adkins would be trying to keep the team in good spirits after a poor run like they've had, rather than losing his head.

 

If the same thing happened to Saints, Nigel would be furious and his lips would go very thin.

 

Ah okay, that makes sense. I thought it might have been to immobilise it as he could have moved it if he moved to get up. Thankyou for the well explained response!

 

Just remembered, it was Thunderbolt and Lightfoot. As Joe says, Ouch!

 

Gaston has cramp so not the dead leg we feared.

 

NA says Gaston was suffering from cramp, that is not so bad as it looked. Lukes leg has a lot of scrapes from the knee down, may have looked nastier than it was, wait and see, fingers crossed.

 

Few pints of vitamin G(uinness) in order tonight!
