We really should be putting in a formal complaint about tonight’s clown. Both their goals should have been disallowed, our pen wasn’t a pen, he probably missed a pen each for both sides, was wildly inconsistent with what was and wasn’t a foul and seemed to have no idea when to hand out a booking.

A friend of me messaged me last night after the game. He’s half French and supports PSG, watches a lot of English football and his comment was, is there a narrative where there are certain teams the league want to do well. He has said he’s seen it in other games this season where the likes of Leicester and Leeds have had some very weird decisions from the ref go their way. I told him I think the refs are just crap. But in the prem they definitely seem to favour or are influenced by the bigger clubs

They are ruining football.

It wasn't a pen for us, it was never a booking for Lati, both of their goals were handball and it was a clear offside in the leadup to the second.

They are just fucking useless.

The Lati booking was bizarre. I’m not sure there was even a hint of a foul he just seemed like normal contact? And was what, third minute?

I think ultimately they've got one of the most challenging jobs in the world and need support. VAR should be that support but it's not used correctly.

VAR should have 30 seconds rule. Last night that would have been enough times to see the Southampton first goal was handball.

I worry about bookings In the first couple of minutes? We have been subjected to 3 up to my recollection(may be more!) This in effect hamstrings our play and Lati could not or dare not make a tackle to prevent the first goal! If I was a cynic I would say someone wants to influence the games outcome. Perhaps the bookies should stop the early bookings bet?

Booking Lati after two minutes was ridiculous. From where we were, it didn't look like he did anything. From that moment on Lati was scared to tackle in case he got sent off. Thought it was bizarre that Robins took off Kitchin and left Lati on.

Some of their players were fouling much worse than the Lati challenge but they never got booked. Eccles and Sheaf were constantly in the Ref's ear about it.

And why the hell did he walk towards Wright as he was starting his run-up to take the penalty? Must have been in Haji's peripheral vision. Just stop the kick if you think he's taking too long. Never usually slate the ref, but he was utter gash tonight.

I put on another thread - to be fair, Wright took an eternity of the pen. I'm surprised the ref didn't approach him sooner. It was like Wright was stuck on pause. I couldn't believe how long he took over it.

It did seem forever. He did the same when we went down to Watford. I think he said something about once the whistle goes then he will take it in his own time. I fully expected him to score and if he hadn't've slipped, he would.

Goalkeeper guessed correctly, think he'd have saved it otherwise.

Haven't seen the highlights yet. Will wait until after work. Particularly want to see what Collins was up to for their second.

It was over 10 secs after the ref blew his whistle before he gestured for Haji to take it. Maybe he thought that Haji hadn't heard the whistle? Shite as the ref was, can't really moan at him for that, Haji was taking ages.

My issue was the creepy walk up in his peripheral. If you want to stop play blow the whistle. Otherwise stay the fuck out of the way of play. A ref wouldn’t walk up to a play in the middle of play or even a player taking ages on another set piece.

As I said earlier, he did the same at Watford.

Refs seem to allow ages for throw-ins and as for keepers holding onto the ball, aren't they supposed to only get 6 seconds? what about goalkicks? seem to be the only thing keepers get booked for timewasting for. Surely 5-10 seconds to compose yourself for a penalty isn't excessive.
In over 60 years watching, I've never seen that before.

Watching the Swansea v stoke game, the ball slips out of the Swansea goalkeeper hands stoke player poked it in, in my eyes goal should stand but the ref disallowed it.
