Thought they seem to have him hook line and sinker with every dive and collapse. Maybe it's just my blue and white tinted specs.
Also the linesman on the west side gave a throw several times when the ball didn't leave the field of play.
Yeap, time wasting at every possible opportunity and seemed to get away with it. The dullest team we've played in ages, almost as bad as Cardiff last season
Thought Mariner kept his cool and did ok. Dunk, Duffy and Izq could all have had 2 yellows or a red. Thought he handled Zaha well. What a pathetic moaning individual.
The sooner Lino’s/fans/commentators learn the rules on ‘WHOLE BALL, WHOLE LINE’ the better. So many times throw ins are incorrectly given. That one with Solly last night was prob 6 inches still in play - was literally rolling along the line. Just because over 50% of th ball MAY have hung the wrong side of the line they just flag. Nowhere near out and that’s me saying it from not the best of angles.
That one looked out from the NS more or less in line with it
I saw the replay on tv - again not the best angle and I can’t really comment but I personally would be pretty amazed if the whole ball crossed the whole line. People see some of it over the line an immediately consider it out these days. Hughton certainly didn’t think it was. Not doubting your knowledge but just an opinion.

He didn’t give a penalty for Dunk’s blatant push on Zaha, be grateful for small mercies
I thought he managed the game quite well to be honest.
What about when Izquierdo blatantly took out Zaha on the touchline (whilst on a yellow!), and he gave the decision our way?
