[Greg.]

VAR has completely ruined football

 

[JackSUFC]

He should never have made that tackle .. horrendous....

Agreed he could have killed the poor Brighton player.

 

[BarcaBlade]

That’s okay, two of them are off now

Was saying Amps was on his own anyway.

 

[Geordie Blade]

Best hope now is for one of theirs to get sent off too. A bit of space would suit Burke and McGoldrick.

 

[Bladeinleeds]

If that splay footed twat could actually control the ball he wouldn’t have to fucking jump in like that.

Everyone knows in today’s game that’s a red card. Going off your feet like that

we don’t deserve anything anyway based on the first 25 mins - Brighton have been all over us. We lose this 2-0 now, lundstram has taken away any chance we had

MERRY CHRISTMAS

 

[What the Hecky]

Can argue whether or not it should be a red all day long, but the fact is tackles like that are given red cards all the time and it was fucking stupid to go in like that

He won the fucking ball, the late player to the Ball was the Brighton player, you are basically saying don't fucking go for the ball just in case

 

[BlairBlade]

I was hoping we might get a penalty this match.
At least Lundstrams’s not on to take it.

 

[essexblade73]

Game for fannies these days

 

[Blade58]

Get ready for a poxy 1-0 defeat with 10 men

 

[SUFCinks]

He won the fucking ball, the late player to the Ball was the Brighton player, you are basically saying don't fucking go for the ball just in case

The follow through was reckless, studs showing.

Wilders large testicles

 

[Yogi]

Wilder had seen the light and switched it up with a #10 and then this shit happens fuck off

That’s what’s so frustrating we make a progressive attacking change are causing them problems and then boom 55 minutes playing a 4-4-1 with didsy on the wing

 

[Ukkonen]

Apart from those few months last season Lunny hasnt been a good signing for us, glad he's going north of the boarder in January, especially after that red card.

Also when did Fleck decide he no longer wants to be a footballer, where has the combative creative midfielder gone of seasons gone by?

At least if we lose again we can blame the red card... need a tiny positive even if its just this!

 

[Bladesman98]

That’s what’s so frustrating we make a progressive attacking change are causing them problems and then boom 55 minutes playing a 4-4-1 with didsy on the wing

That’s our luck this season.

 

[HydeParkBlade]

No, I'm saying don't go for the ball and follow through with a stamp, because that gets you sent off.

 

[BarcaBlade]

What was the need? He looks at the man, he goes through with his follow through. He wanted to hurt him you can see that in a position that he didn't need to do that at all.

Now it just going to be backs to the wall until we inevitably concede

He didn't want to hurt him. His first touch was shit and he put too much into making sure he got to the ball first.
I'm going to go polish the needles on me Xmas tree.

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

Is the co commentator Efan Ekoko?

Whoever it is, he's a pain in the arse.

 

[BlairBlade]

Actually, I think we need (at least one) penalty this afternoon.
A couple of red cards for Brighton wouldn’t go amiss - but that’s not going to happen.

 

[BettingBlade]

Get us out of this fake as fuck division. Absolutely done with this TV show we're watching

I’d say the same but the Championship is just as fucking bad.

The Premier Legaue is a heinous display of consumerism that has completely killed the game as we know it. If we get relegated, I’d happily follow United and not care if we never played another game in this poxy fucking division.

I’m also sick of the fucking virgins commenting on every single tweet, Facebook post something like ‘shit club’ ‘tinpot’ or whatever other stupid shit they think is fucking hilarious.

 

[What the Hecky]

The follow through was reckless, studs showing.

He kicked the fucking ball, what do you expect him to do stop his foot on the follow through action of swinging it to kick the ball he was first too he got the ball and it was the Brighton player having his foot where Lunnys foot was naturally going to fucking land. He went with his side fucking foot for fucks sake

 

[Yogi]

And the ref blows up as we are trying to attack couldn’t wait for it to break down like every other fucker does? No guess not.

 

[essexblade73]

Is the co commentator Efan Ekoko?

Whoever it is, he's a pain in the arse.

Yep another ex wendy wanker

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

He didn't want to hurt him. His first touch was shit and he put too much into making sure he got to the ball first.

Just my opinion, but I thought it was a red. Sure we’ll see a replay of it 50 times now

 

[Blade58]

Lunny FFS
Whilst we’ve been shit we had a chance
Your wreckless play has probably cost us any chance

 

[Cruyff Turn]

However it was his terrible first touch that turned it into a tackle in the first place

Exactly that!

 

[bartman]

What was the need? He looks at the man, he goes through with his follow through. He wanted to hurt him you can see that in a position that he didn't need to do that at all.

Now it just going to be backs to the wall until we inevitably concede

He clearly won the ball. The Brighton player was late. There wasnt a deliberate movement towards the player. We expect our players to go in hard in a tackle. Where was his foot supposed to go ? If that is a red card we might as well ban tackling.

 

[Geordie Blade]

Agree entirely. Ref pussied out from crowd pressure. He shouldn't have gone in that hard, but no ones down, no one injured, yellow him and move on. Pathetic

Agreed. That was down to the players surrounding the ref. He caved in. He’s made some very peculiar decisions today.

I wouldn’t mind if decisions went for us in the same way, but they don’t. If an opposition player does that to us, it’s a yellow and no VAR involved.

 

[Blade59]

Amazing - how many would think it was a red if it was anyone else but Lundstram

 

[What the Hecky]

No, I'm saying don't go for the ball and follow through with a stamp, because that gets you sent off.

Stand up right now, swing your foot and then tell me where it goes? Does it fucking hover in the air?

No it comes down, he used his side foot to kick the fucking ball, his foot followed the natural angle and came down, his studs where not high, he stood on his fucking foot after going for and getting the ball first.

But fuck it, from now on I do not want to see any Blade going for 50/50 balls now.

 

[metalblade]

He got the fucking ball a yard before the Brighton player this game is fucking bullshit I bet the cunt is running about as though nothing happened now. This league makes me sick bent and corrupt FUCK OFF!

 

[Bashamed]

Never been a red. He's been wank all game. They shove brewster over we get nothing. We jog beside their player its a free kick.
