His comments were a joke. It was intentional. It’d be common assault in civilian life. Its not even controversial - definite red.

Poor refereeing protecting the goal keeper. I bet Pulis would like this bloke every week.

I think you are being harsh. Mixed ability side. Some inexperienced. And, some individuals letting the side down. Some poor refereeing decisions - when it really counted (IMO). And, Middlesborough are a good side - better on the night. And, I haven’t seen a lack of effort - from anyone, regardless of a good or bad performance. Not like at Forest.

1-2. Bloody credit to them. I’d have been devastated with their second goal. At 0-1 you are still in the game. Fair play - can’t state it enough.

We aren’t consistently good enough I’m afraid.

A good gate. Hats off to those attending. I wouldnt want to sit through this, then travel. Seriously good committment that.

There is no need to go overboard. At 0-1 you are still in the game. The gifted second goal killed the game. You can’t legislate for that.

* Fishcake.

I agree.

Not an excuse. But the referee has been very poor. We have to man up in the 50/50’s especially Jao, if the ref isn’t going to give free kicks.

You can’t legislate for that. Terrible play though.

Absolutely shocking.

He was fouled - should have took the man and ball.

Thorniley was fouled there - on the half way line, player arched into him when he was trying to head the ball. Out of position from then on.

I think they’ve looked as good as they’ve needed to be. Organised, composed and work hard - typical Pulis.
