Football Association tightens retrospective punishment ruling t's been this way for years. The incident on Allen was the challenge, which was seen and (incorrectly) dealt with.

The incident on Allen was the challenge, which was seen and (incorrectly) dealt with.It seems like a completely arbitrary distinction to make - either it’s serious foul play worthy of being punished in retrospect or not.
AgreedTo be fair to JDS his one happened very quickly and it's a natural reaction to stick your stronger foot out.
Harsh to blame him.

Is it not overriding the referee to say a foul took place where the referee saw nothing?it’s about not overriding the referee.
This is just massive nitpicking, he doesn't break stride to get it on his left, it was just how it fell.JDS trying to clear with his left foot is just pathetic in that situation. Also annoying but not really his fault that Bobby Thomas deflected their second in, I think Rushworth would have saved it otherwise.

I also feel that ship has somewhat sailed in modern professional football - either punish things the referee didn’t spot after the fact or don’t imo, shouldn’t matter if a free kick or card was given.
Massive nitpicking is necessary to maintain high standards, it's ok it was only on the goal lineThis is just massive nitpicking, he doesn't break stride to get it on his left, it was just how it fell.
I forgot he was onNot sure why Wright was taken off.

It was which is why he didn’t have time to readjust and just went with his closest foot…Massive nitpicking is necessary to maintain high standards, it's ok it was only on the goal line
He didn't need to readjust, the ball was heading for his right footIt was which is why he didn’t have time to readjust and just went with his closest foot…
His right foot was planted in the groundHe didn't need to readjust, the ball was heading for his right foot
I think most people who aren’t two footed go for most balls with their strongest foot by default.
Could Esse play behind wright Rather then out wide , think he could be very effective there . To be fair he's done really well
It doesn’t make it the right thing to do though.
I’m surprised Academies aren’t working harder at making young players more two footed. In the late 60’s Liverpool had a simple solution it was called the box of death. It was like a squash court with a football.
i developed two feet by kicking a ball against the outside toilet wall, playing the ball first time with the foot nearest to where the ball landed.
It‘s not like you need loads of equipment to develop both feet, a ball and a wall. Or just another person continuously feeding your weaker foot.
This is just massive nitpicking, he doesn't break stride to get it on his left, it was just how it fell.
This is a complete myth unfortunately. He’s looked ok when we’ve been blowing teams away and the ball has only been in our half a few times and he can spend 80 minutes tapping the ball inside to Grimes.He's been very good all season (until recently), but of course you never mention that.
He's been poor recently, but he's hardly alone there - Thomas and Kitching have been crap, even Grimes has been poor.
Nobody expects him to step up if we get promoted.
If you actually go back and look at our away games during this “terrible” run:Standard embarrassing reaction from a lot of the people on here and Twitter whenever we lose a game.
Reality of yesterday is, it’s probably a draw overall and a silly mistake cost us. It’s going to happen to us, Boro and Ipswich over the next 3 months.
Immediately screaming about needing two new CBs and a LB whenever we lose a game does my head in. We’re top and clear of 3rd by 8 points with 17 games to go ffs.

If you actually go back and look at our away games during this “terrible” run:
Ipswich (A) - play well, get countered, their gap in quality shows unfortunately.
PNE (A) - Very unlucky to draw, Iversen makes 2/3 incredible saves and their one chance flies into the top bins.
Saints (A) - Good performance undone by DaSilva being a cretin.
Charlton (A) - Solid performance undone by Brau being a cretin.
Birmingham (A) - they have three shots on target, all go in.
Norwich (A) - Overall not a great performance, but if Haji or EMC take their chances and Kitching isn’t an idiot it’s a different story.
Over that stretch I don’t think we’ve actually been that bad. On 3 occasions there’s been silly individual errors that have cost us points but I never come away from games thinking, Christ we look terrible and like we’ll never win again.
The reality is, the underlying numbers suggest our away form will bounce back at some point. You’ve got to just hold strong and not be incredibly reactionary to every game and demand we change half the team and announce Lampard as a fraud.
But my point is if we continue to play and approach the games in a similar way, the underlying numbers suggest it should turn around.It's not a silly reaction.
We haven't won away for 2 months and the games we've lost we've shown the same frailties over and over again.
If our away form doesnt improve there's a good chance we miss out of the autos.
As for individual errors, they've played a part, but that's down to the manager to sort out

I'd argue we got no more points than we deserved in those games.Ipswich (A) - play well, get countered, their gap in quality shows unfortunately.
PNE (A) - Very unlucky to draw, Iversen makes 2/3 incredible saves and their one chance flies into the top bins.
Saints (A) - Good performance undone by DaSilva being a cretin.

I just don’t know what possessed him to continue with that set up after half time, learned nothing from what happened at Wrexham.I'm sorry, but I see nothing to suggest we're going to turn this around if we keep doing the same things over and over again.
Everyone on here can see what's happening, it was being pointed out last night before the inevitable happened.
