Whitey Grandad

Don’t push your luck little boy.

Yeah yeah, very adult. Does your mum let you stay up this late?

What are you on about? What did the ref do that you don’t agree with? We should have managed the last few minutes better. Cedric should have stayed on his feet whatever. Bertrand should have put the ball out of the ground. We have nobody to blame but ourselves.

The time is allocated by the referee and he is the only person responsible for timekeeping.

DON’T YOU CALL ME A PRAT YOU LITTLE SNOT.

Give it a rest. We should have killed that game well before the end anyway but a free kick to them right down the other end of the pitch shouldn’t be a problem to anybody.

The deflection for their goal came off Hoedt.

It was right up the other end of the pitch over 90 yds from our goal.

1 min 20 secs as it happened. He should have stayed on his feet no batter how badly he felt.

OK, when you said ‘forget Swansea’ I assumed we would get the 4 points from Everton and Man City.

That would mean that Swansea would have beaten us and have at least 36. If Stoke beat Palace and then Swansea they would be on 36. There could be four teams on 36, couldn’t there? Then it’s all down to goal difference.

No direct flights from Southampton either

Nationality is not a Race.

Did anybody else notice that when Tadic was substituted he was on the far side of the pitch and as far away as possible? He must have known that he was going to go off because he didn’t even look across and was taking out his shinpads without looking at the board. Nice game management there

Those last 5 minutes lasted over half an hour. I’ve never seen a clock move more slowly.

17th place is looking good though

Three draws should do it too.

That was brilliant.

Did anybody notice them chanting ‘Boscombe, Boscombe’ around 10 minutes in when they got a corner?

Ta muchly, wouldn’t have known otherwise.

The dreaded vote of confidence.

You might be surprised at what they can earn, up to £100,000. Ever thought of giving it a go? They are paid a retainer of around £40,000 for which the FA expects first call upon their time. https://www.totalsportek.com/money/english-premier-league-referee-salaries/

Yup, just the one. Were you thinking of something else? Anything else is just a matter of opinion, and if you're a Saints fan then that opinion will be biased. It's no secret that I used to be an active referee (local level) so I know a lot about what goes on behind the scenes as far as managing and appointing refs is concerned.

There was only one mistake in our game. Anything else is fans' Little Team Bias We'd need to see the list of available to decide whether he could have been given worse.

‘...players have been left bemused by Puel’s chopping and changing of the team...’ It all sounds very familiar.
