Match Day Thread SAINTS v Tottenham - FA Cup Special, Sat 25 January, 3pm KO

To me, it could have been given. But look at his posture, is he actually playing for a decision? He looks bent over by the time the contacts there. I don't think he was ready to stop that attack or put any pressure on the right area. Saying that, were it the other way round, the ref would have favoured them....100%.

 

Jon Moss was on VAR duty.....

 

Thought we were just about worth the win today and that the ref was an absolute twat, even impeding JWP at one point, I would've been incandescent with rage if they had scored from that breakaway as the officials already missed Alli's cynical taking out of the last defender for Spud's goal.
I fancy us in the replay though and I though Gunny had a good game and pleased for Sofi too. We'll miss Stuey though..

 

Var is funny. People think it will solve the problem. But its still so subjective. Just a guy, sat in front of a monitor, making a call. That's why I can never fully get behind it. How can Berty get a red, and Cantwell get a yellow last weekend. Just a guy, making a call. Might as well be the ref. The debate is set to rumble on forever more.

 

Glandular fever apparently, had it for a month now.

 

Cough cough two months cough

 

That can be a bugger, had it in the 80s and went down to 7.5 stone before it was diagnosed.

My boss said I was shirking, right up to the point I was passing out twice a day.

 

Christ, how old are you now?

 

Not much singing / atmosphere from the ground today. Maybe we do lose a bit when the “crappy” Northam aren’t there?

 

Definitely think some questions need asking of the individual who sanctioned giving spurs the entire end. You can say whatever you like about the Northam but we made no noise whatsoever today.

 

Hey, we got £50k from Spuds & a fullish stadium. Pretty sure that was the plan. Personally, pants but hey, who am I

 

There would have been a day we'd have dreaded an away trip to spurs, now we relish it.
We can play with freedom and confidence and enjoy another away day.

COYR

 

Lol, we've got more coverage than Pompey on MOTD

 

Boufal didn't sound too happy about game time in his interview after.

 

Didn’t look too happy to score either. Hope he’s not on a sulk?

 

Wasn't as bad as his celebration after the West Brom game - don't think Ralph would stand for any of that

 

Welcome, Sean! Always good to ‘see’ new faces .....

 

Think he wants out?

 

Because we’re not VAR beings, I guess. Still we got a result in the end and doing something like we did today at SMS is in my view very important. After losing at home to Wolves it was important to get a good performance and result against another good team. Nice lift for the trip to Liverpool. Reckon we’ll get something there too.

 

Frustrated he didn't start.
