Can we do that? Would love us to have some Scottish referees brought down for some fair play.
Phil - probably not, but it would make the EPL take notice. May be a better course of action than calling out Mike Riley as Monk did previously. If anything, that worked against us as things seem to have got worse.......
 
Calm down everybody. You can't expect Gomis to take over Bony's role for up to 6 weeks and not give him game-time on the pitch. If Gomis had scored you would be saying it's a master stroke. Fine line decisions have to be made for the good of the season AS A WHOLE and not an individual game. Glad Bony scored the equaliser though. We didn't deserve to lose.

Don't mention the ref...


If Gomis had scored ..... if he'd actually put something on target maybe. You can't score if you don't hit the target and Gomis is about as close to that as the ref is to actually being qualified as a ref ... or Dyer and Routs are to being able to cross
 
We didn't deserve anything from that game despite the bad officiating. No cohesion no guts no fluidity to our game, Monk really does need to wise up on his substitutions. Another poor performance from the players!
Thought we deserved a point and poor is where we are right now unfortunately
 
Exciting game to watch with full of incidences, A point is a point but we should have got 3 today, We were playing a good home team as results show plus the ref who really should have worn a qpr shirt as he made it so obvious who he supports. The lads dug in but the finishing was poor and we now know for certain that we need a quality striker next week or we could struggle without Bony and Ki. Monk says this could be Bony's last game in a Swansea shirt anyway so we need someone urgent.

Where has he said this?

Fully agree, which is why I understand why Gomis started today. We can't expect him to be firing on all cylinders after the odd 15-20 mins here or there. I thought he had a good game, except for scoring, which of course he will be rusty with. It took Bony 8-9 games to get up to speed this and last season.
 
Big risk if we let Bony go...regardless of how much we may get. We are in a good position to kick on if we strengthen in key areas (DM, LB, RB). However, letting our main goal threat go, without an obvious back up, does not make sense. No matter how many games Gomis plays, I don't think he's the man.

Monk and Huw making the same 'come and get him' noises as in the Summer when they were saying every player has a price.
 
Whether we let Bony or others go ,I would take a special effort not to survive this season.A point every 2 games keeps us up imo .What a great point against our bad play and apparently , bad reffing ..super !

If they have someone quality in mind that we can get for 15-20M, and get 50M for Bony, then ok. If Man City or Chelsea do come in, maybe it could be a player and cash type of deal...we'll see soon enough!
 
Its not so bad when you think of the position we are in. We could be like Everton or Arsenal man utd and liverpool who all did not get the results they thought they would <laugh>
 
Possibly the worst referee performance ever. Should Monk shout about it and risk 'retribution' though.
 
Monk says lineman had the perfect view. Throughout the season these things have happened but he is not allowed to say what he really, really feels. Hopefully, the "right people can see it"

"Of course we don't get the decision, which is quite normal for us"

Routs could have had his leg broken - he hopes people sees sense, as we haven't had much sense this season.......

Garry Monk fears Thursday’s game at Queens Park Rangers will be Wilfried Bony’s last for Swansea.

Bony is a target for injury-hit champions Manchester City after finishing 2014 as the Premier League’s top marksman. His 20 goals in the calendar year have fired him to the top of Manuel Pellegrini’s shopping list.

The Ivory Coast striker will play at Loftus Road on New Year's Day, before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations in Equatorial Guinea.

Bony is tied to the Swans to 2018 but has never hidden his desire to play for a top-four club.

Monk said: “The rumours rumble on, but those are not my concern until something happens.

“I know football, and things can happen quickly and different things come out of the blue, but we are expecting Wilfried to be back with us after the Africa Cup of Nations.

“Wilf will play against QPR and he will have to do as best he can because it’s a chance for Bafetimbi Gomis to show what he can do when he is away.”

It's also reported that Real Madrid are now interested in Bony...

The quotes from Monk suggest nothing of the sort.
