Massively impressive performance given the circumstances. Poor decision cost us but there were several of those in the game. It's the overall poor standard of refereeing that's the worry, not just that one decision.
10 men Hull v Stoke city, drew 1-1 and im dissapointed How far have we come since i was in the kempton stand at bothferry praying we wouldnt be relegated to the Vauxhall Confrence!!!!!! Awsome point... And yes i have been drinking ........
Its a great time to be a supporter of the club. Even a man down I thought we had a good chance. The players really fill you with all kinds of confidence.
We obviously had less possession (43% to 57%) and our shots on goal (9 with 2 on target) against Stoke's 19 with 3 on target says it all. Stoke look to have a lot of problems going by this game and we were superior before Chester was sent off so we can take heart from this performance. Geez we have to get someone up front with Jelly who was there when he was needed to be today. Good effort from him all round.
6 points in the bag would have been fantastic (and Stoke at home is the sort of game we need to win to stay up), but plenty of positives. Elmo, Quinn, Jel amongst many to play well. One or two new arrivals hopefully to come. Defence a little shaky at time a slight worry.
Yahoo article saying Stoke very fortunate, pointing out refs blatant mistake, saying we have a much better team and work ethic, that Stoke are in trouble if they carry on like this , that Bruce has done a good job and Mcshane deserves motm.
When you are playing with a man down for 75 minutes there will be a shaky moment or two, but overall they were immense. If we can beat either or both of Villa and W.Ham and emain unbeaten before the Man City home game, today will be seen as a very good point.
Posted again with correction. When you are playing with a man down for 75 minutes there will be a shaky moment or two, but overall they were immense. If we can beat either or both of Villa and W.Ham and remain unbeaten before the Man City home game, today will be seen as a very good point.
The defense was shaky before we had a man sent off. The sending off itself was because of slack passing at the back, a problem in both the first two games.
1-1 after 75 minutes with 10 men is a good result but I'm very disappointed. Obviously that farcical throw in, but then the second two substitutions, the third in particular was absolutely baffling, and that late corner just played into the corner where we could possibly have snatched a late winner. Very frustrating.
Yeah, it was always going to happen. Saw the ball go over the line fully from N4 then just watched the ref until he blew. Goal-line technology was always going to give it. Took its time though.
i thought City looked comfortable till the 75th/80th min mark . cant complain at SB tactics as you have to defend what you have with ten to go , but i wish he brought on Aluko rather than Boyd . but beside that a great team performance and we look a tough nut to crack .
I have to say that I'd never have taken Quinn off, for me he was the fulcrum of everything good that we did today...and I don't think tiredness was in question, he never played a minute of the game in Belguim
As I understand the rule it has to be a deliberate foul, that was no where near a deliberate foul, Chester went for the ball and was commited and couldn't get out of the way. Stoke player could of missed Chester if he had wanted to, deliberatley went into Chester to get the player sent off. It should of only been a yellow.
The standard of referees in the Premier League is piss-poor. Everyone in the stadium knew it was our throw-in, but that ****ing *****loid didn't.
