Two questions as I couldn't see it all clearly.

When Shaw pulled Lamptey back and got a yellow - who was between him and the goal?
Was McAllister pushed over when they won their free kick (after the six minutes were up...)?

****ed over by the officials again. Always the same. What a corrupt league this is.

I actually think the ref did well. Let the game flow and Dunk's tackle was idiotic and my first impression was red. He was cautious but rightly checked after VAR looked at it. Whether or not Webster was getting there is up for debate. I'm not so sure....

I know if it was the other way round I'd be going bananas if that hadn't been given as a red.

What is the point of refs going to the monitor? They always overturn their original decision as they feel pressured to do so. When was the last time a ref decided not to change his mind? The VAR may as well give it directly.

Well, you can’t complain. Excellent for all but of ten of it. The worst ten minutes I can remember since that Liverpool (I think) game.
Onwards and upwards.

Well that was frustrating. Loads of individual mistakes out there today which cost us dearly. No need to lose faith though, this is a mere blip. We're still on course for a finish most of us wouldn't have thought possible at the start of the season.

Oh come on Dunk had an absolute shocker and was always a risk of a red.

On the plus side....Duffy will be back for the next game.

And also.....who would be a rancid red at the moment? Living on historical biscuits. Will win nothing this season and 'this is a club all about winning'. No sir, sorry sir, you ain't, sir, no winning trophies any more. :wanker::wanker::wanker:

We would have got something out of that if it wasn’t for the disgraceful red card decision as we were by far the better team up until that point. Why have they got someone from a micky mouse league on VAR? Whenever I’ve seen Gillett involved in anything since he came to the Premier League from the A League, he’s looked completely out of his depth.

How can you say that was a disgraceful red card? You might disagree with it personally but on no level whatsoever was it a disgraceful decision. To me it was a nailed on red card and I think you’ll struggle to find any neutral who thinks it wasn’t a red, I’m still mystified why the ref didn’t give it first time.

We’ve just got to accept it and move on. Apart from that disastrous start to the second half, it was another very good performance.

First few against Leicester was not spectacular.

Undone by three of the worst individual mistakes of the season, sadly. Bissouma, then Dunk and then Sanchez (which we escaped). Something was wrong with us that second half, just a very disappointing final conclusion after such a spirited performance.

Can someone please perform a cleansing ritual on Jakub Moder?

On the plus side, those mistakes were so uncharacteristic of us generally it is hard to see us repeat it any time soon.

Absolutely dire 5 minutes at the start of the second half killed us.

No one was sure FFS. That means it wasn’t a clear and obvious error by the Ref and that there was no reason to march him over to the kunnting monitor!!!!

Yes I'm gutted because we could have won it.

No should have won it.

But this is the club that lost a BILLION pounds in transfer fee's in the last 10 years alone. No idea what the squad on the pitch cost or are getting paid, but they only won through our own mistakes.

We cut them out and we're serous contenders for 7th.
