Just how deluded are Southampton

[El Presidente]

Ah yes, I do remember thinking "1-0" right up to the moment he made contact with the ball. So following on with the hypotheticals, allowing also for Guly's glaring miss and Lallana's effort, 2-1 to Saints at half-time. Lambert's penalty - 3-1. Three consecutive goals for Brighton - 3-4, followed finally by Corks missed open goal. 4-4 - great game

You forgot the penalty to us when Sparrow was brought down, 5-4, what a thriller!

Stains win 7-5 on aggregate.

As you say, can't go by hypotheticals. But to make it sound like Saints were "dominant" first 50 minutes is frankly laughable. It was right in the balance.

Have you f***ing seen the challenge by Harding you prick !!! It was a clean take of the ball. He swept the ball away and his legs werent off the floor. Your players were diving at every opportunity. and look at the way the rest of your cheating players congratulated El Abd after his discusting reaction. Albion have always for me been a fair team but your oilbag racist manager has changed all that. You'll try any cheating method to get a result. Only problem is your miles adrift at the bottom of the fair play league and are known as the league's cheats. Even more dirty than Pompey.

 

[klaaturberada]

El Abd was also the first player to run a few yards to have a go at Forte for diving in the Greer incident

I don't think Forte dived. He just fell over and rolled around like big girlie. I got whacked harder than El-Abd and Forte did just jostling to get to the concourse at half-time.

But Davies saved the penalty - fact.

There is another thread on hear where some BHA fans agree with my assessment, so in my view they are correct and you are mistaken. I expect you will disagree though

He did indeed save the penalty, but spilled it out to one of our players (as he has been making a habit of doing recently) - and Sparrow knocked in the rebound...

Brezovan has a very good record with penalties, last year he faced 4 and conceded none. He only actually saved one (the others were missed), but the season before he saved a couple, I believe, including one on his debut (after giving away the pen in the first place). so, he would have saved yours (which we would all be complaining about since lambert wasn't fouled, just continuing his trend of going down easily).

Bizarre way of looking at it. Some Germans thought Hitler was right, therefore they are correct and you are mistaken.

The game was blatantly in the balance first half. You could even make a case for Brighton being the better team, certainly in some areas. (i.e. Harding being utterly destroyed and brought off after 35-odd minutes).

 

[klaaturberada]

There is NO WAY Lallana's "shot" was a goal.
The whole ball has to be at least 3 to 4 feet over the whole of the line. It is similar to the penalty rules at St. Marys where a penalty can be awarded for a foul 3 to 4 feet outside the penalty area.
Clueless Southampton fans not knowing the rules!

LOL - it is a fair cop

utterly destroyed? Ridiculous.

Harding was unfairly targetted by our band of despicable cheating foreign players, who under the orders of the devil Poyet, set out systematically to unfairly attempt to get him sent off.

By, errr.. running at him with the umm, ball.

If you think carefully, that analogy for my statement makes absolutely no sense at all.....but then I am very pedantic about such things. And you see, this is how football polarises viewpoints. I do not think Harding was destroyed at all. He had your man in his pocket, and was unfairly booked toboot .....will he bite?

Sorry. There I was thinking Harding was utterly humiliated by a player far, far better than him.

 

[Surrey Phil]

I'm getting a bit fed up with these Southampton fans making ridiculous claims. The evidence from St Mary's showed Ricky Lambert dived for a penalty as Calderon did not make contact with him. Ricky Lambert dived again and tried to claim a penalty at the Amex and the ref rightly turned it down (but should have booked him for simulation) and then when he gets sent off Southampton fans claim El-Abd dived. There is an old addage - what comes around goes around. Now Southampton fans please get real.

And jumping in the way of his challenges with our legs.

Well I'm only "biting" if you are joking with that comment. Which you must be. Buckley BEAT him at least 3-4 times in the first half alone. How is that "in the pocket"? No, it's ok, you're joking (as you're "fishing").

Keep believing the hilarious North Korean press from your wanky club.

Please explain why he was taken off BEFORE half time? If he had him "in the pocket", the chances of him needing to make any further fouls would be TINY, obviously? No chance of another yellow if he had him in the pocket.

I literally can't think of a better example of a player not being "in the pocket" of another. A couple of points Bucko could've popped back to check if Harding was ok, and then run clear of him again. Men vs Boys.

Dan Harding has massive pockets.... FACT
