We will end this with 10 surely, especially with Morgan

who's the geordie on talksport, maybe it's the commentary but he seems to keep saying how lucky we are and Newcastle hard done too but from what i hear we've been on top for most of the match

 

Ffs it’s Michael Grey and he’s not a Geordie!

[egg_fried_rice]

A very strong tackle. I personally don't think there's much wrong with it, but in the modern game I've seen yellows and reds given for similar.

[StanSP]

Another ref gives that as a red for Hamza. 

 

He gets the ball but follow through deemed dangerous.

Hamser really needs to tidy his tackling up a bit. That one was a lot like the one he got sent off for in the euros, lucky to not get sent.

Ritchie deserved it for the stuff he has been doing during the first half

[TrentFox]

Albrighton needs 45. 

[StanSP]

What did Morgan get booked for? 

 

 

[Vacamion]

Just got in from a loooong day, turned on SSN and that tackle from Hamza looked proper naughty.

Absolutely wasn’t - I even slowed it down on replay and there was nothing wrong with it - Ritchie dangled his leg. You don’t go in properly for a 50/50 and you probably get injured ......

[RowlattsFox]

I dont think it was a red but some refs might send him off for tackles like that.

I doubt if they'll award that to Madders. Probably be given as OG like Harvey's against Wolves 

A Mate just put a Tracker on the shot....!!!

It is actually  deceiving,if could be it did take a swerve..We tried it with the thinnest of lines,und it seems it missed the wall...and moves in the air!!

 

[st albans fox]

I’m clearly blind ........

[TMELcfc]

Red Card incoming... need to chill

[Foxxed]

Sounds like they could score past Wes and Soyuncu tbh.

The fact he’s fcked up Ritchie’s knee alone suggests it’s far too high.

[TheSomersetFox]

God I love Hamza

[foxes_rule1978]

Sounds like we are looking a little less solid without Evans in there.

You stayed up till 5am to watch a Leicester game? Have a beer on me. 

"watch"

[CloudFox]

From those at the game, how are Wes and Cags communicating? I know Evans talks to Cags a lot and from the radio Gerry Taggart was saying Wes and Cags didn't seem quite on the same wave length. Only to be expected if they haven't played together for a while though.

Unless we are playing a team that lump into the box, fail see the logic of playing Wes in this game.

[brucey]

I can’t see a deflection from that single angle of the goal?

Evans needs looking after with how susceptible he can be to injuries, Benkovic probably not quite ready yet, so of course you start your captain
