    Just seen this quote and thought it worth sharing.

    "Football is a game where they spend 90 mins pretending to be hurt, rugby is a game where they spend 80 mins pretending not to be hurt."

    Can't disagree with that. =)

    More dreadful umpiring, this time by the 3rd umpire, there's clearly a noise on Snicko, yet the Aussie isn't given out. Absolute joke. He took ages looking at it too, then still decided not to give him out. Snicko is clearly not fit for purpose, but the umpires have given absolutely everything Australia's way all series.

    We are currently below Burnley.
    I think it’s worth getting used to that

    I've just seen the highlights on BBC and the "foul" by Pablo on Williams was a really brief touch on his arm but Williams goes down like he's been shot. If anything, Williams should have been booked for simulation
    Compare that to the actual foul on Summerville that the ref and VAR ignored.

    It's almost like there's a conspiracy to send us down. >:)

    Trouble about playing our young players untill the end of the season .Getting them ready for the championship is that it could knock there confirdence ,Getting beat by 2 or 3 goals every game wont do them much good .However of course it could make them better players ,Its a thin line

    I’m worried that if we go down we won’t see any more of our youngsters than we do now. Hopefully at least Potts and Scarles will be established by then but I can very much see whatever manager in charge instead choosing experience because of the pressure to guarantee promotion quickly.

    I hope he continues with Scarles, absolutely going to be our starting LB in the champo next season.

    I hope he finds some game time for Earthy I really do think he can be a starter for us in the champo too.

    I would also look at cancelling the Casey loan at Swansea and bringing him back to put in the defence.

    I am actually more excited to see these youngsters in the championship when it goes down than the last 2 years of garbage football. I really do think with a proper clearout and that FA Cup youth winning team gets on the pitch for us next season will be the beginning of a resurgence for the club.

    I mean, we are dreadful, deserve to lose and deserve to be relegated - and will be.

    However, the offside was dumb and the penalty was dumb. If a defender clashed heads with an attacker in that situation while trying to head the ball, nobody would bat an eye. Just as a defender heading it is a legitimate defensive action, so is a goalkeeper trying to punch it away.

    And it didn’t stop Gibbs-White scoring because the ball was already cleared.
    So if a player goes in for a tackle, gets there late because the opponent has already played it, clatters into him, it’s not a foul?
    That’s not what I said and not what happened. Gibbs-White didn’t play it because Soucek headed it away first.

    If Soucek had headed it away and behind him a defender and attacker clashed heads both going for the ball, rather than a goalkeeper punching and an attacker, do you think that’s a penalty?

    I don’t, and there shouldn’t be any difference IMO.

    Another really close lbw decision is given on-field, with the ball barely clipping the bails when reviewed, and unfortunately that's the end of Joe Root for just 6, 117-3. Feels like all the marginal decisions are going Australia's way.

    There is a difference between a natural collision in the box & a keeper punching a player in the face - had Areola just collided with him, it would not have been given - but the flap/punch on his face was always going to result in a penalty
    I didn't see it as a punch in the face, more like the follow through of his attempted clearance, and it's not as if Areola prevented Gibbs-White from heading the ball as Soucek had already headed it over him.

    The worse thing is the number of fouls against us in both the Wolves game and this that were not given, yet the opposition were getting them awarded left, right and centre.
