I fully understand that it wasn't aimed at the players. What i'm saying is that the crowd stopped chanting in support of the players and drew everyones attention to what was happening in the corner. The players were distracted by this, as multiple people have said they kept looking round to the corner.

I could tell on the stream it wasn't aimed at the players. It's still obviously going to be a distraction when the crowd stops chanting in support of the team and instead all react angrily to an incident in the corner of the ground. And there WAS a noticeable difference in the effort levels from the players during and after the incident. For large parts of the second half we were pushing forward and hitting them on the counter, that stopped.

In front of 30,000 people it is.

He was clearly thinking about monday when today wasn't even won yet. Amateur mistake.

Non standing zone? Have they installed the safe standing already? If so we all knew that there was going to be a clamp down on standing elsewhere.

That is shameful to be fair. Wasn't mentioned at all on the Saints player commentary when the applause happened either.

I thought this watching the stream. The atmosphere disappeared and was replaced with jeering, chants of "wankers", "you don't know what you're doing", etc, it was obvious something was going on for 15 minutes and it coincided with the players stepping off the gas a bit.

Frustrating that it's still possible with everyone having a bit of a wobble at the moment, but you just know we won't capitalise.

Any chance of some context?

Not sure the players, focussed on the game, would have known that in the moment though.

Just in time to get injured for the play offs.

To be honest you could hear the crowd distracted by something and it was doing my head in watching the stream, not a single chant in support of the team for about 15 minutes as that "hilarity" ensued and I'm sure it distracted the players as they wondered what the fuck was going on, especially with the timing of the "don't know what you're doing" chants as Mara was subbed on.

Yes, such is the gulf between prem and championship. This squad is good enough for top two, second only to Leeds and that is debatable.

If we don't get in the top two he hasn't achieved the bare minimum for me.

Sounded alright in the second half.

Too fucking slow, complacent at 1-0. Absolute bunch of wankers.

That fucked up pass from Brooks earlier when Fraser was in acres of space was just as bad as any of the missed shots. He's been poor since coming on.

Saints fans via Reading to Paddington and Pompey to Waterloo i'd imagine. After the game would be a nightmare though with both sets of fans trying to get down that road to the same tube station.

They'd probably be pissing themselves laughing at the Met having to manage it.

Can't see anything in the link about any "ultras" kind of stuff but I did only quickly glance. Just sounds like they want to get fans together for a drink every so often to build some familiarity and get chants more widely known before getting into the stadium which doesn't sound like a bad idea to me.

Yep, but just think of the profit we'll make when he's finally cut those mistakes out and is wanted by a Prem side!

I get the sentiment but even if all three of those teams had their 6 points deductions last season we'd have still comfortably finished bottom.

Promotion race going right to the wire.

It is sad, but it's very easy to not care about money and just lock yourself away when you have enough of it to never have to worry about rent or bills being unpaid.

I bet this forum was a nightmare when that happened.
