It's amazing that football is the only sport that can mess up something really quite simple to use. Frankly pathetic that simple decisions can't be checked quickly and easy. Rugby union is a much more complex game, but they manage it easily. Has a ball crossed a line, was someone offside, was it a clear penalty...really not difficult.

Redmond is just a much more predictable player I would say.

Have a beer with your mates, turn up at 3pm and enjoy watching football.

IMO, if his assists alone keep us up he's worth the money.

I'll always renew no matter how much I feel like not....it's MY seat so the thought of someone else using it is pretty unappealing.

The shame being that you end up playing without a recognised striker on the pitch.

Harsh, but fair.

It's going to be pretty tough to stand there and listen to the garbage being sung from their lot in relation to them taking our players, plus the "walk on" sentimental bit too, if they're 3-0 after half an hour. I'm dreading listening to their fans almost as much as us possibly getting a beating.

Lovren pretty close to our Ads, for me.

That depends on who the person is doing the accusing - a forum wouldn't be a forum if we all agreed. I like both games equally, it just so happens that I feel quite strongly about certain aspects as i'm sure we all do.

You are indeed a force to be reckoned with. Hopefully you'll spend the rest of your evening finding other examples. The fact is you're still wrong. God help you if you think otherwise.

To be fair you gave one excellent example of cheating in the gane of rugby, and I'm sure you have many others from this weekend that you could share if you wanted to. I don't think some rugby players aren't petulant, of course they are but in terms of a code of respect on the field the two games really can't be compared. What officials say goes, end of.

Rather that stuff happen in what we all know is a physical sport, but WITH respect to officials and each other than the non stop diving, cheating, swearing at officials, spitting at each other, acting like babies, feigning injury to get players booked....shall I go on?

What a great counter argument that is.

Absolutely and the respect thing in the game is a much wider issue not for this thread.

Nice one Virgil. Couldn't have happened to nicer chap.

In any other sport (especially rugby), Boufal's behaviour would never happen because of the discipline and respect to players and their roles. Can you imagine a squabble in a rugby international over who takes conversions/penalties etc?? I can't see how his behaviour shows any passion at all, it's just petulance and playground stuff. Sets no example to kids at all, but then football doesn't generally anyway. Good to see him be first over, but really shouldn't happen in the first place.

Keep Lemina in the damn side

Agree on Long, he'd be handy for last 10

I'm amazed that having gone 0-1 down we've come back like this - fair play to them.

Didn't see that as passion at all. Petulance. Good to see him be first over though. If there are team orders in those situations then I don't think having a squabble about wanting to take it is helpful at all.

Boufal wants to wind his neck in there.....

Have to say pretty happy with that as most of us are. Maybe he's been messing with us all this time, testing our loyalty, and now he'll show that he makes Pochettino look like Steve McLaren.
