Just keep him away from the kryptonite.
It would have been a soft penalty. Seen them given, seen them not given. The referee just didn't want to give a penalty for anyone.
Ross Stewart had a bigger shout by almost having his shirt ripped off him.
I wonder if it being a PL ref used to having VAR had an impact on him on not wanting to give one.
You'd be surprised at the amount of people who really wanted Millwall to go up. Hull they won't really care
The YouTube highlights I saw I had them all as pens. Think there were 4. Disagree about Leo, that was a clear foul with no attempt to play the ball. All those get given with VAR I reckon. Katrina probably the least of them.
Personally o thought it was great that there were none. Kept us all honest. No accusations of favoritism to add to everything else.
Looking forward to hearing from Charlie ‘Charlie’ Austin and his views on talkshite.
Thought Larin's was in real time but slowed down it wasn't. Think Scienzas was a decent shout. Stewart getting the shirt pulled off him first half was most clear cut for me. Matsuki should have conceded two. The first one was weird as they made little protest but it defo was a peno
Looking back I think the ref was pretty cautious throughout, probably as much due to the nature of the game than anything else.
VAR would have given a shedload of penalties in that game, we had 3 solid shouts at least and they probably had 2 (I dont think Matsuki's handball was a pen, but it is something I could see VAR giving).
Probably would have. All the better to not have it when it's a game like last night imo.
I hate to have a moan after last night but can we please please please bin the goal music off next season?
It's so ****ing tacky and ****e and would be much better to just hear the crowd noise when watching it back.

It was a bit annoying when the Northam in full cry got drowned out by that pointless light show. Also the lack of "spy music" was disappointing.

I'm starting to feel like the bigger deal Boro make of it the less of a big deal it really is.
All they have is a kid with a phone filming their training session from a golf course who deleted what he had. Boro don't know what was recorded. The kid didn't identify himself.
So, what can Boro use from the 2 games that would say Saints had an advantage?
Last night would have been ruined by VAR. Need to not give it a chance to ruin the final and exercise more calm and control on that game. Completely different occasion to the semi final games though so hopefully won't be a problem.
Announcement today, on sale tomorrow.
For all the furore and worry surrounding the game, last night proved an absolute blast and a great spectacle. I've been an ST for over 15 years and a Saints fan for way longer and it's nights like last night that make it all worth it.
In the last few years, as my boys have got older (now 13 and 10), my wife and I got them STs as well. She comes too. They put up with the dross of last season and never wavered as Saints fans. We all went to Wembley for the cup SF which was the first time for them. They loved that and it showed them just how amazing being a Saints fan CAN be ...
Last night topped it!
Their sheer excitement and celebrations were mental, sharing it with friends and family and fellow fans - that feeling of togetherness with your city and club which plastics and glory hunters will never feel or understand.
UTS!

I thought the Stewart one was clearest of all tbh.
EDIT - just noticed everyone else did too!
In the PL it is, but we’re not in that yet. So difficult to say.
Guardian match report says “File that one under ‘seen them given’ “
True that. I recently had a Man Utd fan tell me he was hoping to see Millwall in the PL.
Somehow doubt he’s ever had the pleasure of a trip to the Den.
