Blootoon87 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Have I really got nothing better to do today than watch Burnley v Palace followed by Swansea v Newcastle? Apparently not. What a depressing realisation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-r-cfc Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Ooft, knew that was coming after all the hoo ha yesterday. Ritchie flying in with the studs up but just avoids contact.Also clearly mouths the words 'eyes were on the ball' to the ref. Doesn't matter where your eyes are mate, if your studs end up down someone's throat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 No one can keep hold of the ball for any sustained period of time. It's like a game of tennis going back and forth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 That's a terrific last ditch attempt to keep the ball out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I was so convinced the only goal was coming from a corner, I stuck £5 on the centre half captain to be first scorer literal minutes before the goal, £500 returns. I went for Fernández though [emoji17] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMMjag Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Too much of Swansea's play went through Sanches whose touch was poor and was laborious in possession. They were so slow that they barely ever came up against anything other than a Newcastle defence settled completely into position. Clucas's dead balls were honking as well. Still only the first game after the window but the Sigurdsson shaped hole in their team was glaring.Newcastle didn't fare much better and will struggle to score many with that strike force, but Ritchie is always a creative option and he was a standout today along with Lascelles. Two sides who will probably finish between 12-17th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7-2 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Contrary to popular belief it turns out Sanches did actually do something today... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunning1874 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 7 hours ago, Salvo Montalbano said: So any high boot to the head is a red card? Why wasn't a red given in the Morton v Pars game yesterday? Simply because the defender didn't know where the attacker and went to clear the ball and didn't see Talbot coming round, in the same way Mane didn't see the keeper come out (and he wasn't looking in that direction at any time, not just at the last second. The only similarity between Forbes and Mane is that the player they fouled was caught in the head. They aren't comparable fouls at all. Forbes swung his foot at chest height, Mane had his foot five feet in the air. Forbes didn't have his studs up, Mane did. Forbes had one leg planted on the ground meaning he wasn't out of control, Mane was completely off the ground and was hurtling through the air. Forbes connected with an opponent's head because that opponent dipped his head below head height, Mane connected because his foot was at head height. As a result of all of the above Mane's challenge was blatantly reckless and dangerous, while Forbes wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiG Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Seems to be some chat on Twiter that de Boer has been sacked by Palace. It is from The SUn however so I am taking it with a tonne of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 It's everywhere now. Hodgson in to replace him. Feel a bit sorry for FDB. If Benteke and Dann hadn't been replaced by Stevie Wonder and David Blunkett yesterday, he'd still be in a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 They wanted to overhaul their system to be more "attractive" but sack the man they thought could do so after 4 games? Embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7-2 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 There must be more to it than just the results. He was virtually gone after the 3rd game. I wouldn't be surprised for stories about behind the scenes stuff coming out that the players didn't like so didn't respond to. Change? It's a dirty word in football.
