Pollock is the csptain, he is allowed to talk to the ref. Larin was booked for his hand gesture.

So does the rule about trying to get a player booked only apply to non-verbal communication?

[RedArmy]

We need a threat in behind down the right.

Not complaining about the yellows for Watford. To give Bree a yellow was very harsh. 

Not really,professional foul. Cut across a player that had passed him.

[Saint Matty 76]

Larin started really well! 

Would’ve preferred Fellows here personally.

[obelisk]

Defensively Saints are a bit of a shambles.

[Saint NL]

Stephens having a mare

That is pronounced STEPHENS, not shambles.

It's "exciting" and "getting us out of our seats" though...

It's such a shame. He actually cut the mistakes out for the majority of the second half of last season. 

[RedArmy]

Where the fuck is manning 

[SouSaint]

So much for a quick start. Useless cunts. 

[trousers]

Shambles 

[Disco Stu]

Are we really about to sell our only competent defender?

[Suhari]

Fuck me.

[saintant]

We are just gifting the ball to them with ridiculous passes.

[trousers]

Tonda out

Glad Bragg is starting alongside Flynn as he's class 😊

Looks all at sea so far.

[benjii]

WTF is Stephens doing there?

[Saint Pete]

Stephen's Just retreats into the centre and leaves him free run on goal. 

[BotleySaint]

Awful goal to concede. Could get embarrassing.

[AlexLaw76]

We are shit

[stknowle]

Fucking hell. 2 stupid giveaways, 2 goals. Also wtf ddn’t Stephens come and close it down?

[Saint Matty 76]

So poor from Manning initially but Stephens does absolutely awful there.

[Saint NL]

Awful

[benjii]

Still think we'll win

 

[Window Cleaner]

Tonda needs to tell the lads to stop f..ing losing the ball.

[obelisk]

Conceding that goal was totally unnecessary. Give it away and let him run half the length of the pitch without a challenge.

2-0 and Stephens has to be hauled off.

[Baird of the land]

Pathetic. Why are they refusing to put the ball in the box and instead passing the ball sideways straight to the opposition.

Up the pitch attacking

[John Boy Saint]

Blimey might need to change my Pompey Points vote.

Great goal though - threading the needle

[sockeye]

Is this Tonda's first real test?

[OttawaSaint]

Fucking sloppy. Another high cost giveaway. Cocks!

He was the one in CM giving the ball away in his own position 🤣

[Saint Scott]

Stephens having an absolute stinker

[Patches O Houlihan]

This is that soft pre-season coming back to bite us.

Stephens is still in bed

[Costa del Solent]

Manning MIA… Stephens HAS to get over and cover that and Scienza drop in. Has to, screaming it as the player is running at us. Guy is an absolute liability

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Fuck sake, two total gifts. Pathetic.

[Sheaf Saint]

Where the fuck was our defence??

[BotleySaint]

One season too many for Stephens. Needs to go.

[HarvSFC]

That's on Manning. Pass across the field gets picked up, he's nowhere in position and then Stephens doesn't even attempt to close down. The usual suspects are letting us down.

[Edmonton Saint]

This is awful. 28 minutes in and we haven’t created a chance. Defence all at sea. Bragg /Downes has been anonymous 

[Osvaldorama]

Why do we always start seasons so badly. 😂

[Obstacle1]

Why the hell doesnt Stephens come across sooner??? Fucking retard. After gifting them the first

[Lighthouse]

Garbage all round. Happy new season everyone.

[saint michael]

Midfield major problem. 

[Zorba]

Shite. we need to wake up.

[jamesfp1]

Saints are back then

[TCT79]

Awful 

[Wade Garrett]

Fucking hell.  Stephens is well off it.  Shite.
