You’d be surprised how many don’t realise this.

He was bloody terrible. The crowd and players reaction say it all. Yellow card for Summerville for bodyslamming Choudhury? Joker. He let most things go because he simply missed most of it.

Passenger indeed. Can only remember him jogging off when his number was held up.

They weren’t great though were they? Just tried to hit us on the counter. But we weren’t great either. Didn’t commit bodies forward, looked clueless and void of ideas.

England and Wales*

Englands last two scores (India, Sri Lanka) beat Afghanistans score against us. By one run.

Buttlers still picking his mates. I love Stokes but he should’ve never have been involved. Moeen as well hasn’t offered a great deal. Buttler and Bairstow have no excuses for poor shows, they’ve played in the IPL so know what it’s like.

He’ll win another world imo

If he’s booking Fatawu for the push, then whether it’s enough for him to go to the ground or not he’s retaliated with a push then it’s still a second yellow card.

The drug abuse certainly would’ve taken its toll on his heart, though. Either way, it’s so sad.

Which inevitably leads you to think he was probably on some sort of drugs. Terrible news. Great actor who played one of the most iconic, funny characters US comedy will ever see. I’m sure a lot of people can relate to Chandler Bing.

I think the biggest problem is that on field different referees will have a different opinion on things. It was said during the game had another ref not given that it’s probably not over turned.

I think they just raised their game because they were playing us. Most teams will do that this season. By all accounts QPR have been a disgrace and yet I thought that was quite tough today.

Would also think not risked considering KDH is one away from a ban and he’s our most like for like replacement.

Gonna be an interesting one for bookings, this ref averages 4.4 per championship game he’s reffed this season

Palace are so boring aren’t they

Ndidi probably going to be out until the next break.

Ndidi probably going to be out until the next break.

DM’d you.

He was absolutely Miles away and had such a poor view, he was certainly relying on his Lino to make the decision.

Which for me is a clear indication he was terrible for both teams. Easily the worst we’ve had so far this season. He was so inconsistent it was unbelievable. Let them pull and push us but let them get away with it. Even their manager said that the crowd’s reaction said it all about the ref. Lost control early on, utterly inept. You can gauge a lot from the players reactions as well and you could sense that players from both sides weren’t happy.

Think you’ve misread the idea of the thread

Memorial is a great little ground.

Brilliant start to the Newcastle Dortmund game.

If you were offered 2nd place right now, after the start we have had, which guarantees promotion, would you take it?
