    One more home game & we'll have played half our home games for the season . What do the opposition have to show for it ....2 goals , one an own goal , the other gifted to Manchester United by a wayward pass by Rangel . Fortress Liberty has arrived in the Premier League in a huge way !!

    The best defensive record in England is in Wales. I think I want that on a T-shirt!

    Breezy, and that Man Utd "goal" may well have been offside!

    Letter of the law it was offside I guess, but everyone is always crowing about how benefit of the doubt should go to the attacker...

    Well if Hernandez's goal was offside , I guess it's only Graham's goal the opposition forces can rally around Lol !!

    Was offside. Don't know what the lines man was looking at but clear space between Monk and Hernandez when ball was played. Looked at DVR multiple times.

    Officials that have any doubt on that play are not qualified to be offciating. It really wasn't that close as hernandez was leading our last man from the moment of the interception.

    Well I haven't checked the video, but you expect the officials to get these calls right at this level, as if it was offside, then it's a point stolen! some say it evens out over a season..................

    Dragon, many respected pundits/ex players and so on reckon that's a load of bollox. I agree with them and, as we all know, the context and the timing of these things is crucial. We lost a point because of it which might prove critical come May. That's not to say that we won't get some things go our way because we will. I just don't think that they necessarily even out.
