Moyes has done well for you, at least you aint in the usual relegation dog fight. No shame in that loss considering Man Utd on a decent run at the moment.
Hard to watch us play at home, we are better away. Maybe it’s just the transition to the new ground or that our setup is better for playing on the break.

Could be worse, I could have to get back, get to work tomorrow. Every cloud and all that

Thought second half you were quite good. Not pretty but quite good. Lammens man of the match. George looks like he’ll add something.

So many stoppages for BS at corners, yet only 5 mins added. compare that to our game v Utd when there were hardly any stoppages, yet we got 7. Nothing to do with what the scoreline was at 90mins though....
 
He wasn't stopping the clock though.

He basically was telling everyone to stop ****ing about as they are just wasting their own time.

He refereed that element pretty well.

10 second half corners. At least three required cosy chats reminding professional footballers what they can and can’t do during a football match so probably the best part of 10 minutes out of 50 waiting for a corner to be taken.

Excited for our goalkeeper to do everything he can to wind the clock down from the first goal kick tonight and if by chance we manage to score a goal for his 62nd and 86th minute injuries.

Was absolute madness doing the same stuff time and time again. First time the keeper came and didn’t spill-no more of that nonsense.
 
Tedious wasn't it?

If you're not going to do an Arsenal and pretend you've been fouled, there's no point.
Waste of decent position/set plays.

There needs to be a crackdown on holding from players(both sides) in the box pre corner etc. it just boring now.

There was one game recently we left three up at every defensive corner and it helped give the keeper space. Never tried it since but it worked.

They could theoretically deem the game live from the moment the ball is placed for the corner. Helps avoid the pathetic little chats with the ref. You could limit the number of attacking players in the six-yard box when the corner is taken but it’s just another law created because referees won’t apply the ones they’ve got. Like the ****ing eight second rule for goalkeepers that they remember exists one game every three months when there was a perfectly good rule already.
