    The beast is right, lets put this one to bed and move on to the next two.
    Next Saturday we have a very desperate looking Newcastle visiting us, they will need to attack & I'm confident we'll have too much for them & secure the 3 points. Then the following week we travel to Everton. We have a nice seven days to prepare, they have a Wed-night fixture to recover from. Six points, we march on.......

    Are we still arguing over the penalties, surely everyone's to drunk for that by now?

    Just me on that one then, sorry...

    I haven't read the thread yet but I can guess from the last couple of posts how it's gone. I think we deserved a draw as they weren't any better than us over the 90 minutes. Forster made some great saves and we had a lot of possession but weren't clinical. Have decided I don't like Vardy who seems a right bighead. Shame that.

    What? So now refs give decisions based on reputation and not what they see in front of them? That would make a ref biased. Biased on reputation. We keep hearing refs aren't biased.

    Hold the back page.

    Have you noticed though, how Vardy is a lot less irritating in an England shirt? (Welsh fans need not reply).

    Well, the worst thing really is that one of the cars was our son's. We were looking after it for him whilst he was on holiday. Oops!

    He's back tomorrow, doesn't know yet! But, you know, sometimes you get what you deserve.........he's a West Ham supporter. Don't ask!

    He's also kind of a racist.

    Heh. It'd be hard to find two more different responses to that.

    Not really interested in getting into that discussion. I'll just stick to what I said earlier - Leicester aren't a very nice team.

    Chilco, you know I've been banging on about this since I joined Not606. What you may not know is that I've spoken about helping referees with video technology since the first time the subject came up on Saints Forever, and that's a long time ago now [15+ years]. Like you say, decisions don't even themselves out. It's lazy thinking to think so, but for argument sake, let's say they do. Bear with me, this isn't going to be about defending the scenario we have right now.

    During one of these iffy decisions, let's throw in the extra variable that for one team, for example, the bad decision causes them to draw closer to relegation because the game heavily depends upon that iffy decision and the good decision, in return, comes on a day when they're well beaten anyway. A series of those things happens and you have teams whole seasons being affected on a turning point. If we have 100% good decisions then all of that rubbish is swept away. Now it is very difficult to achieve 100% good decisions, but the goal must be to get as close as possible. In the present scenario that is simply not happening. Referees need help before someone in authority starts to question the validity of footballing achievements because they've turned on an iffy decision.

    Let's say for example, Saints got those two penalties appeals awarded to them and won the game against Leicester City. According to Koeman we should have. That brings Europe distinctly closer and Spurs get a big whiff of the title. All because of iffy turning points in the game. We need certainty and we haven't got it.
