"We all moan at refs but for 90 minutes there are 22 players trying to fool him"

Great line and 100% true. A lot of people would do well to remember it.

United and Tottenham are both so bad

It was tongue in cheek. If we get 4 points I'll be bouncing off the walls, if we get three points I'll still be bouncing off the walls. If we get two points I'll still be happy.

It was more a criticism of United and Spurs this season.

I'll almost be disappointed with less than 4 points from the next two games.

United just awful full stop and Tottenham almost unwilling to put the game to bed, how many break aways and half chances did they want?

With good organization, togetherness, a bit of quality and a bit of luck, we can get a win or two against them.

So Maddison gets brought down, first 4 mins of the spurs game
at 17:39 16 Feb 2025

People need to get the word consistency out of their heads. It's the most overused word when discussing referees and it's just becoming a buzz word.

You literally wrote it in the same sentence, 'not as close to goal' - therefore you can't claim a lack of consistency, because the two incidents were different.

Wouldn't necessarily argue that it's a foul, just that if you're giving a foul you're also definitely giving a yellow card for the circumstances of the foul.

It's a modern foul, they get given all the time now. Actually not even modern, that's been a foul for a long time. I think it's one where he is impeded, Axel has a hand on his shoulder and will be trying subtly to slow him down, but the player has to dive to show the referee he's being fouled.

To be fair he's more or less going through on goal, middle of the goal on the edge of the box. If it's a foul it's a nailed on yellow.

It's not a huge surprise. The disrespect he got when he turned out for us was painful at times. He's young, he's had a ridiculously quick rise to the top, and he's clearly got a bit about him. He's missed two penalties for us now but because of his attitude I honestly don't think it will have affected him that much.

I don't think we should be desperate to offload him at the first sign of a bit of cash.

Tuanzebe second yellow (n/t)

Rightly or wrongly those are always a foul now, without fail.

If it's the other way around and we don't get that given half our fan base would be screaming about a conspiracy.

First yellow felt harsh as he got the ball but he still got a lot of the man and only a slither of the ball, so not that surprising either. --- editing this, I take it back - it wasn't a foul or a yellow card!

We win the ball back so well and we've played out the back nicely
at 15:38 15 Feb 2025

But we protect the ball so badly when we get into their half and try to play passes. Annoying as on the whole we're playing well.

This might be a tangent but there's something about the common defense of players of 'they're playing in a struggling side' that bugs me. Arguably the team is struggling, in part, because these players aren't good enough. Otherwise you could defend all players in that squad by saying 'but they're part of a struggling side'.

Just me?

Overall point obviously right and I don't mind these posts at all.

I don't think we were outplayed at all by BRFC though, and if anything we put too many passes together that night - we just had no cutting edge when we got anywhere near their box and if I remember right Ladapo was quite poor and missed our only half chance.

No stats to back this up but I think after that night, and perhaps when Hirst was regularly starting games, we started to mix up our game a lot more and play longer more often.
