Norwich 2-1 Saints - Match Thread

[benjii]

Shit from Wood. Kuck it with your left foot.

[BotleySaint]

Handball. Shouldn't be a goal.

Blatant cheating.

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Fuckin handball

[Saint Fan CaM]

And there’s another indictment of our defence. So weak.

However, that was handball by their player and shit Ref misses it.

[James]

That was a clear handball. 

[trousers]

Handball?

[sandwichsaint]

Hand of Phil

[stknowle]

It did fucking touch his hand as well. 

[Saint NL]

A handball goal, lovely 😳

[bangkoksaint]

We’ll finish 6-10th. TE not taking us up

[Saint Scott]

Clear hand ball 

[obelisk]

 

Ref misses the handball. No VAR so 2-1 it is.

[Farmer Saint]

I've said it consistently for 2 years since Martin was originally in charge. Our defenders are fucking shit - you cannot coach them out of being that shit.

[HKsaint]

Bazunu 

[HarvSFC]

Any danger of stopping a cross from either side?

[RedArmy]

Baz just stood there panicking. 

[bugenhagen]

Comedy defending.

Sure glad we have 3 CB's to deal with situations like this

[Disco Stu]

One of those days.

[AlexLaw76]

Thankfully, no VAR this season

New manager bounce over 

 

[vectraman]

Nathan Wood, step up and receive your completely shit defending award.

Might have saved it but the handball carried it over him.

[RedWillie]

Wood should do better but thats a clear handball. 

[SWLondon Saint]

What the hell is the point of 3 CBs when they can't clear that?

[OttawaSaint]

Our defending is an absolute joke!

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Fraser making no attempt to close down the cross

[die Mannyschaft]

We may may have one of the best attacking players but my god we have some of the worst defenders. 

[BotleySaint]

Aside from our lucky goal it's been one way traffic this half. Tonda needs to mix it up.

Shit defending AGAIN! FFS

It's in our DNA

[Saint NL]

How can we play three centre backs and have no one back there?

Bazunu 

Not his fault that Nathan Wood completely fucked it up. 

[benjii]

Lol. They've got a black guy who's slower than Manning!

That's the issue, they just look at each other. Hey 2 in there with clearky defined roles FFS!

[Viking Saint]

WTF did Bazunu pull out of trying to stop that cross??

[davefizzy14]

That was bloody handball! Should bever have been allowed 

[James]

Norwich get everything they are appealing for now. Ref has totally lost it. Cheating cunts.

You mean when Makama flicks the ball between his arms with his hand?

Okay, sure.

[AlexLaw76]

We now have 2 means of attack now teams are shutting down midifield

THB to pass like Koeman, or Scienza giving us his inner Steve Macmanaman

When does he ever come for crosses?

[Crab Lungs]

Top goalkeeping from Bazunu again.

Irrespective, these mustard slurping pricks have kicked and cheated their way through this. I hope they go down. Pointless, Jeremy Goss fellating, Rob Newman noshing, Ruel Fox fingering cunts.

[Granite_City_Saint]

That wasn’t on Bazunu. The striker lifted the ball over him with his hand

[HarvSFC]

When chasing a goal you have to bring off one of the centre-backs, surely.

He would have saved it if the guy didn't handle it.

[Sheaf Saint]

So yeah, it was a clear handball. But that doesn't excuse just how fucking inept and shambolic our defending was.

Wouldn't it be nice if, just once, a footballer could show the kind of sportsmanship you see in Snooker when a player will self-declare fouls that the ref didn't spot.

[tdmickey3]

Finishes 3-1 sadly

[Saint NL]

A striker that can hold up the ball, that's a good idea..... Just battering rammed through out sieve of a defense
