referees are not instantaneous devices they need time to react

not when he saw the challange the ball was being challanged for then it went off the pitch it took him a second to blow his whistle thats why the ball went off the pitch

in the opinion of the refferee he gave an offence thats why he blew his whistle

An unconteted drop ball is the only fair way as you would be punishing the defending side for a fair tackle ,also if a penalty was awarded and it was over ruled for a dive a contested drop ball would reward the diver.

play stops at the point of the offence not where the ball stops so technically the ball is in play at the time of contact .

also whenever we had the ball they were hugging the touchlines stretching their back 4, must have been watching them training and seen somthing of a weakness in them.

yes but it was only Hull

Chris brown is making a come back

Not sure he would swap middlesbrough bench for ours, what about stewart downing aparantly they cant play him or the have to give him a new contract

hope you shut the curtains when they play

what about Herold Goulon in the utd game

I thought this was about us conceding late goals ?

no because if we had held out we would have beat leeds so they would have had 3 points less

If we had held on in all those games we would be ahead of leeds, I think we are about where i thought we would be this season top 10 finish unless we add to the squad in Jan and we keep fairly injury free.

They get a qualified ref from the crowd that chap had done it before apparently

looks like downing is going not in squad

I would be checking the dressing room for microphones as well would not put that past them

I always Thought Gresko was permenently left back in the treatment room!

hope not my lad got a couple aganst him the other month and hes 38

I cant believe that you get booked for a player hitting you in the face with the ball looked a good penalty shout to me.

total agree time for a reality check of the last 9 promoted teams only 1 is above us, we have had a bad run of fixtures against the top teams it seems the modern way to sack the manager at the first dip in form I dont see Man city crying out for their manager to go after losing 3 .
