  1. I don't like the way this is going. Get them up the pitch!
  2. Can he organise a defence?
  3. We've stopped crossing?
  4. A monster of a strike.
  5. Leprechauns? Is that what you call them?
  6. It's almost as if he knows what he's doing.
  7. Must protect them 🤫
  8. Not at all. How on earth was Stewart supposed to avoid a keeper who was sliding into him? And why should he?
  9. Yes. Campbell just skipped past him. McCarthy did his usual trick of crouching to make himself as small as possible.
  10. The co-commentator saying that Stewart initiated the contact. He couldn't avoid contact.
  11. Why when you have a corner would you not cross it into the penalty area?

    After all, they did nothing for us.
  13. Thanks for giving an answer. I'm not looking to cause a slanging match but as a, retired member of the refereeing fraternity I am interested in what people expect of their officials. When you say "seemingly missed" I think you have nailed the point. There are a number of reasons why a foul may not be given including that it wasn't considered foul or the desire to keep the game flowing by allowing advantage. A foul does not of itself warrant a yellow card and there are several criteria that should be met before one is issued. Persistent misconduct is one of them and some teams will deliberately spread their offences amongst several players. The criterion used to be "at least three" and you will sometimes see players who get cautioned holding up one finger signifying that it is their first offence. Are you sure that Azaz and Fellows were actually fouled and just not strong enough?
  14. Why not both?
  15. In what way was he awful? In any objective view he was doing his job well.
  16. Or you could just resign yourself to the fact that these refs are neutral and unbiased. Throw away your red and white striped glasses.
  17. It's only a game...
  18. I'm not old enough to play golf 😊
