No need to wonder... he'd have been hailed a hero/genuis if the free kick had cleared the wall and he'd prevented a goal. That's how the fickle-dom of football fan-ship works. In the same way that Ralph would have been pilloried if he'd subbed McCarthy earlier and Lewis went on to concede two goals and lost us the game, or hailed a hero if Lewis had come on and pulled off a wonder save or two to preserve the victory. (Yes, I know the Saintsweb intelligentsia frown upon ifs and hypotheticals, so flak jacket duly donned. )

Fixed it for you (this is Saintsweb we're talking about here)

Yep, I've been saying for yonks that we're shite at the gamesmanship side of the game. It's an ugly part of the game but everyone else does it. We are indeed far too nice.

Don't cleverer footballers cost more money...? #conundrum

Isn't that a bit like blaming me for my car breaking down because I was only able to afford a Lada rather than a Rolls Royce?

Lynaco took a goal kick earlier so there was clearly something not right with McCarthy. Agree that he should have gone down to at least get some treatment / advice from the physio

So, which was it then? JWP doing something bizarre or trying to make up for injured keeper?

Just in case anyone needs cheering up...

Textbook

Yep, it tells us you can't count.

Another one of his "minor calf injuries"... the last one only kept him out for two months or so...

Full time. Fair result

McCarthy saves again

Why the f*** didn't broja turn and fire that first time?

Draw would be fair result here

Lyanco on for Bednarek.

Hate to say it but this game only goes one way... Last minute counterattack with a Vardy goal... #reversepsychology

That would've been a pen if Adams wasn't offside

Lol @ Vardy Edit: this post will come back to haunt me

Good save McCarthy...
