This article from May 2017 (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/05/17/southampton-chairman-stresses-saints-stability-admits-claude/) talks about Reed and Semmens (along with Krueger) forming the "club board". And indeed, Companies House shows Semmens and Reed joining 'Southampton Football Club Limited" board soon after (here: https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/00053301/filing-history), however this recent announcment is for the holding company, i.e. "St Mary's Football Group Limited". So, I think this is different to the announcement of their appointments last year (to the football club board) but not sure if there's any significance in them also being appointed to the parent company board 6 months or so later. Probably not, but thought it might be worth a mention.

Why would they be knocking on doors in Portsmouth? Very weird indeed

I wonder if those that criticised people for being sceptical about choccyboxkid's ITK credentials at the time will also be keeping a low profile....? Until the next time of course....

Fair point if that's the case. I just feel we're too 'nice' at times

Isn't the captain allowed to 'confront' the referee without getting booked? Bertrand was the captain at the time and he wasn't a million miles away from the incident. IIRC he just stood there with his head in his hands after their second went in? Again, I'm not saying that haranguing the ref would have achieved anything but for the captain not to seemingly vent any anger just seems to epitomise the resigned attitude of the team as a whole in recent times. Hey ho.... It's only a game...

Post some photos

Indeed

Indeed....they're going to be so complacent that we'll nick a win....

Lighten up sir... I suspect his tongue was in his cheek....

That chap whose team are currently losing 4-0 to Spurs?

Just wish I'd put a bit more on...

Indeed. The lino is looking straight at it...

Stay in concourse for 10 minutes after kick off maybe? Have seen that done by other clubs fans before (can't remember which though)

The match thread was pretty unanimous that we weren't safe at 2-0 knowing what would likely happen in the 2nd half.

To be ever so slightly fair.... we didn't sit back after the first goal today.... so that's progress of sorts.... just need to score 3 or 4 goals before sitting back now and we'll be OK....

And the lino is looking right at it....

How about this one....?

That's a fair point. I've not seen footage of the immediate aftermath of the goal but if McCarthy and the rest of the team weren't surrounding the ref and/or linesman then you've got to wonder what was going through their minds. Ok, so they probably wouldn't have got the decision over-turned but you certainly don't shrug your shoulders and make life easy for the ref in that situation.

This one does...

Not the best of videos and will probably be taken down soon, but....

...

Ultimately robbed by the opponents cheating but we shouldn't have been in the position where that became a possibility. Half time jitters by most on here were justified unfortunately. I guess the handball goal will let Pellegrino off the hook in the eyes of the board. If we could play as well for 90 minutes as we quite often do for 45 minutes we'd be safely nestled in the top half of the table. Good job football is only a game.... We limp on.

Okaka pulled the shirt of one of our players first though

You're probably better off not watching to be honest
