Cobbo Posted 14 October 2006 Posted 14 October 2006 George Burley was left shaking his head in disbelief after his Saints side suffered their third defeat of the season.The Southampton boss felt his team had more than enough chances to have won the game but went down to two wonder strikes and a scrappy winner. Iain Hume hit two spectacular 25-yard shots which were cancelled out by first goals for the club by Jhon Viafara and Inigo Idiakez. But substitute Richard Stearman headed in from close to give the Foxes the points to leave Burley ruing some missed chances and some debatable refereeing decisions. Burley said: "We are wondering how we never won that game. We had some great opportunities and I thought we should have two blatant penalties. "There was one for a handball where their player had his arm above his head and if he does that then there is only one decision. "Then Jhon Viafara had his shirt tugged so decisions went against us. I have not spoken to the referee, there is no point because the decisions are made but the breaks did not go for us. "We had three great chances at the end of the first half and only took one of them, Bradley Wright-Phillips went through and the shot rebounded against him and went wide and Grzegorz Rasiak nodded over the keeper and skimmed the bar. "We are coming away from home and creating opportunities which is pleasing and I have no complaints about the attitude or commitment. ""We did not play particularly well in the first half but after the break we were in command and I thought there was only one team going to win it. "We got ourselves level at 1-1 just before half-time and afterwards I thought we took charge. Then their lad just hit one and it flew in. "Even then we got back level but our defending was poor for their third goal. We created chance after chance and we are very disappointed not to pick up any points. "I thought we should have won but we did not so we have to take it on the chin and get ready to go again for a very tough game at Cardiff on Tuesday. "We have four out of five away but we have shown we can go anywhere and create chances and give teams problems." saintsfc.co.uk Bugger off George, we battered yer.

Tubes Posted 14 October 2006 Posted 14 October 2006 Two penalties? Which game was he watching? to be quite honest i think the result was a fair reflection of the game
lookwhaticando Posted 14 October 2006 Posted 14 October 2006 He's just a frustrated Jock. Some of what he says sounds like some of the stuff our ex, Criag, used to say when we got battered.
Knighton Matt Posted 14 October 2006 Posted 14 October 2006 Two penalties? Which game was he watching? That Tiatto tug was a definite penalty (proving he's a complete liability). Not sure about the handball although it looked like McAuley handballed one in the first half. Let's not paper over the cracks. A great game but Southampton could and should have put us out of sight (3 easy chances before half time for starters). Was it not for Hume's strikes from nothing we would have been buried Southampton created far more than us all day.

Benji Posted 14 October 2006 Posted 14 October 2006 The fact that his team were given 7/8 extra minutes to equalise wasn't mentioned i see
Daggers Posted 14 October 2006 Posted 14 October 2006 The fact that his team were given 7/8 extra minutes to equalise wasn't mentioned i see And a corner without our two centre backs! FFS, are referees not allowed to use ANY common sense?
chesterfox Posted 14 October 2006 Posted 14 October 2006 One of the things that is so great when I am in Leicester or with Leicester fans is the totally biased unashamedly blue tinted view of matches, issues and any other LCFC related facts - I couldn't give a s h i t what Burley thinks - what matters is we won - every victory being a step further forward to more confidence, better results and the belief that we can compete - come on nobody can tell me that as a club Cardiff are the best team in this division.
cisono Posted 14 October 2006 Posted 14 October 2006 come on nobody can tell me that as a club Cardiff are the best team in this division. Only at the moment... just wait
Random Burglar Posted 14 October 2006 Posted 14 October 2006 The Southampton team stayed in the Hilton at Fosse park...whilst the players were in bed getting kip b4 todays game George Burley was apparently knocking back bottles of red wine till 3.30am. Was absolutely mullered apparently
Tommeh Posted 14 October 2006 Posted 14 October 2006 And a corner without our two centre backs! FFS, are referees not allowed to use ANY common sense? That defined madness If they'd have scored then I'd be in a police cell now for running on the pitch and whacking the ref where it really hurts

A great game but Southampton could and should have put us out of sight (3 easy chances before half time for starters). Was it not for Hume's strikes from nothing we would have been buried Southampton created far more than us all day. But how many saves did Logan make? I only remember the one from Wright-Phillips which rebounded off him and went wide. And we should have been three up before they had their first shot.

And we should have been three up before they had their first shot. Hard to tell from Barber's commentary but I guess a few. I definitely remember one more great save by him today
lildave3 Posted 14 October 2006 Posted 14 October 2006 Logan made a good save (if you can call it that) from the corner where McAuley and Paddy were off. Just pushed it over the bar, i think he did well to get to that.
PAULCFC Posted 14 October 2006 Posted 14 October 2006 Seems he forgot the blatant pen that we should have had in the first half when a saints defender was all over Elvis!Anyone else notice the refs deformity?
Bluefoxtim Posted 14 October 2006 Posted 14 October 2006 Seems he forgot the blatant pen that we should have had in the first half when a saints defender was all over Elvis!Anyone else notice the refs deformity? What his eyes in his arse? or you being serious?
Daggers Posted 14 October 2006 Posted 14 October 2006 But how many saves did Logan make? I only remember the one from Wright-Phillips which rebounded off him and went wide. Logan was outstanding today, not just his saves but his all round approach to the game. His positioning, closing down and box control - he is going to earn us a fortune when he's sold on...but it would be so much better to keep him. I get more impressed with every game he takes between the sticks.
PAULCFC Posted 14 October 2006 Posted 14 October 2006 What his eyes in his arse? or you being serious? No, one arm was longer than the other!I'm not one to mock the afflicted,but a referee?
Matt Posted 14 October 2006 Posted 14 October 2006 No, one arm was longer than the other!I'm not one to mock the afflicted,but a referee? The ref we had for the Cov game last season (At Cov) had that deformity as well, I didn't notice it today, was it the same ref as against Cov?!
PAULCFC Posted 14 October 2006 Posted 14 October 2006 The ref we had for the Cov game last season (At Cov) had that deformity as well, I didn't notice it today, was it the same ref as against Cov?! Couldn't tell you,i wouldn't have noticed it 'till my lad pointed it out.
Joe. Posted 14 October 2006 Posted 14 October 2006 But seriously? 7 minutes? There could have surely only been maximum of 5.... As for George Burley's comments, whatever happened in the game is past and he can't moan about it. Luck swings and roundabouts in football.... That's the game for you
AyewJoking Posted 14 October 2006 Posted 14 October 2006 I thought we deserved the win. However, it hardly matters whether we deserved it or not, the 3 points are in the bag and we move on.
