    Looked absolute quality - had Cirkin on toast all game

    Overall thought it was a good performance yesterday - slow and ponderous in 1st half, but far better after the break. Fully deserved the 3pts

    Having just this second seen it I can understand the yellow. The only mitigating factor was Chong clearly leads with an elbow.

    To commit 3 fouls as a team and have a red via two yellows must be very rare.

    That was a hard fought, and deserved, win, and some of the forward play was scintillatingly skillful. It doesn't matter where we finish, a lot of this season has been a pleasure to watch :emoticon-0148-yes:

    It's a pity about the arsehole Birmingham scum, though :emoticon-0101-sadsm

    Having said that, it's S.A.F.C.s fault for allowing them to do it, having little or no thought/concern about S.A.F.C. fan safety :angry:

    The problem could easily be solved, quickly and cheaply.

    Set up half a dozen large and obvious cameras facing the away fans.

    Put up half a dozen big screens, alongside, facing the away fans.

    Continually show the away fans on the big screens.

    Replay any bad behaviour, missile throwing, etc, and zoom in on that area.

    Have regular messages, on screen, saying,

    'If there are any instances of missile throwing, etc, the entire away section will be kept in until the police have located the culprits.
    In the interest of keeping the delay to a minimum anyone aware of them should report any instance immediately so they can be arrested.
    The club will prosecute in every case, no matter how trivial, and seek banning orders.
    Enjoy the game.'


    In fact fiick it, I'll write to the club now.

    Edit - Done

    Or the league could step in and award a forfeit to the home team. The away clubs would soon stamp out the behaviour quick smart as would the other travelling fans

    I thought all away fans were searched prior to entering. Curious as to where he/she/they/them stuck this flare prior to getting in.

    I agree mate, but it won't happen ...

    ... knowing the entire away section is being filmed, with the proof being shown on screen, would definitely work.

    It's impossible to do that with any degree of success tbh.

    Too many people, too little time and too many hiding places for small tubular items ...

    ... they should just look for anyone walking funny <laugh>

    Could easily have been red carded for a deliberate forearm smash in the PL.

    Rare but both yellows.

    The elbow happens because Cirkin steps across square. Paid the price in more than one way.

    Seems to like getting lashing in the head.

    Show the still before it. That's where Cirkin steps across square, obstructing.

    I am surprised there is so many people trying to question in me. Clear yellow in all levels of football. Got done, steps across and obstructed.

    Davison needs to get his finger out and do something. Someone will get killed and that's not even a stretch.

    I missed the match yesterday after foolishly starting a bit DIY on Saturday that went badly wrong !! After flooding the kitchen and cutting the water off the wife wasn’t impressed when I suggested I would sort it all out after the match! tail between my legs I had to plod on and seek professional help and take my punishment. Whenever I miss a match it always ends up a win, I was sick as a chip !!
