Same ref who was “one of the best “ in our game at you guys !

 

Obviously got worse since then !

 

It's obvious he's trying hard to imitate Perluigi Collina. The way he moves, looks at the players, the straight red card to Corberan, he's doing a Collina cosplay which ofc will be enough for him to officiate in PL next season.

Think the sending off of Corberan needed common sense too, the ball was arching back in but it’s trajectory was going out originally.

That’s why the coaches shouldn’t be out of the technical area. If he’s in the area and stays close to the bench this doesn’t happen.

It’s really silly, but the only decision there is a red card.

Jesus Andrew Johnson has packed on some timber.

The problem is the inconsistency of these refs and how they treat other managers. We have seen Klopp pushing and bullying the sideline officials and getting away with it. 

Next soft tackle inside the Southampton box will be given a pen but this ref. Probably a slight push or something. Watch it happen this half.

Not sure it was so clear cut - because the player is running at 90 degrees to the flight of the ball, his natural running motion means his hands aren't necessarily in an unnatural position.

 

Certainly an impossible call without replays.

Would Corberan, having been sent off in the first half, be allowed to give the half time team talk?

Never thought about that, it is a good question

He clearly put both his hands forward to stop the ball because he was thinking it was going straight into the net. I called in real time, I didn't need a replay.

West brom's final ball has been horrendous.

[TrentFox]

Like Johnston at WBA. He’d do a good job in our set-up.

Wow. Get you.

[lnkstern]

Shame to hear that ref Sam Allison may have missed a penalty, as many of you are saying.

 

I had the match on (muted as I am on the work clock), but missed the play.  Sometimes the ref simply doesn't and/or can't see the offence.

 

No VAR, no replay, no help.

I don't think he 'missed' it, i think he just gave the defender the benefit of the doubt - there were a lot of bodies, a lot of movement, and a very quickly hit shot - even with the perfect angle. which probably didn't have, it was a tough call.

[Number 6]

That's a really good goal.

[Noahfence]

Game over 

[trugerkem]

That’s great touch and finish 

[Brooksy]

Wish we had signed him.

[Lillehamring]

Two good goals, but otherwise southampton have been really poor - had it not been for some fortuitous blocks and some abject final balls from west brom, this could have been very different.

[LFox99]

Whatever West Brom's defenders were doing then

[foxes_rule1978]

Suppose I expected Southampton to bounce back… we just need to do a job tomorrow to keep a nice cushion 

[CrispinLA in Texas]

Normal service resumed for Southampton 

[Fear Of The Fox]

On a positive note, Leeds are 3rd again. 

[Jobyfox]

I thoroughly expected Southampton to win tonight. Simply because there were so many thinking it was a banana skin that it seemed almost inevitable. 
 

Our result tomorrow is still the only one that really matters, but the bonus of a West Brom win would have been nice

Brookes such a good player, was always gonna be a good signing at this level.

The ref probably had a different view to you, no?
