Match Day Thread Southampton vs Portugal, 12pm Sunday, 14th February (Amazon Prime)

Good to see Ralph’s diplomacy slipping, getting absolutely shafted by ****e decisions in a way we haven’t seen before.

We have undoubtedly been poor recently, but without crap reffing there wouldn’t have been 6 straight defeats, we would have picked up points at Villa and today at least.

 

Interviewer was a right tosser too

 

Bollocks I turned it off. What he say?

Has he let go of the refs nutsack yet?

 

The only good thing about today has been the rather excellent Prime coverage.

 

Karen Carney just said it has ruined the game, and I agree with her.

 

If only people pointed out that that would happen...

 

Shearer has been very sensible. Good Saints boy

 

He refused to answer any questions on the rest of the game.

 

He's had us on the receiving end of two - ****, I can't even bring myself to type it, you know what I mean - and now we've lost 6 league games on the bounce. The record speaks for itself, and it's saying "don't even look".

Yet I still think he's easily the best manager we've had since Koeman, if not the best since we got back to the PL. Can I explain or make any sense of that? Not really, no. Except that I very much doubt any other manager would be able to get much improvement out of this squad of misfits and nearly men.

 

Yep same here, seriously considering not watching the Chelsea match.....I am getting wound up over inept officiating.

 

Doubt it. Their form is terrible, and they’re worse than us.

 

The Bertrand handball decision which against us today wasn't on the same level as the Cash one which went against us. The latter was horrific, and should have been overturned by VAR all day long. But today's one was still bad. It's never a penalty against Bertrand in my opinion. Scott should not be giving that.

However, we were so poor in the second half, that we deserved to lose. For all we dominated the first half, Wolves dominated the second half even more. We never made it back out of the dressing room. Yet again none of our subs had an impact on the game (although mitigating circumstances for the final change). Djenepo in particular was yet again useless. And once Redmond was moved into midfield (for the second game running, I was happy with what I saw from him alongside Ings), he too retreated completely into his shell.

 

The other issue of losing 6 on the trot is that we are running out of posters to do the threads!

 

I turned over so missed it

If someone could post a clip then that'd be appreciated.

 

I wanted lots of swearing, and threats of vengence. He just doesn’t care like he used to. Ralph out

 

It still think it could've worked without the constant tinkering of confusing rules but it's time to bin it now.

 

I think there's plenty of positives but it's a bit hard to see them when we've just been shafted, yet again, by atrocious officiating, and yes, bad luck. I take the point about luck, but I think we're due a turn around there soon.

 

Sooo much this

 

@Libby you fancy it?
