[Gaini Blade]

Basham. Why, just why?!

 

[Linz]

One thing that might not be readily apparent to anyone back in Sheffield I'd that it's absolutely fucking boiling in the ground which I'd imagine will be an issue as the game goes on.

 

[coolasanidiot]

Bash has to come off. He ain't got the brain or composure to retain composure to avoid second yellow.

Only a matter of time before he costs us here

 

[unchosen]

Spurs getting frustrated, now looking to try to con penalties… commentators making a big deal of it

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Shirt pull on mcb, no yellow, madison dives, no yellow

 

[GKhantRebel]

Wes outstanding so far, Bash is struggling. We're doing well overall though.

 

[Gaini Blade]

Only a matter of time before he costs us here

Needs to go off before he gets sent off.

 

[originaltrueblade]

Red to get Bash off at HT preferably sooner

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Is that piggy ekoku.on the comms?

 

[DroitwichBlade]

Looks like Wes is injured

 

[SUFCinks]

Started very well but as the half has gone on we have lost control of the game. Souza and Hamer both started well to the season but both been sloppy today.

Need to get hold of the ball a bit more.

 

[Champagneblade]

Silly Bash lunging in like that so far from goal, but how is that enough to go down? Soft as shit.

Game’s gone.

That said, if he gets a yellow, why doesn’t there lad on half way for pulling McBurnie’s shirt?

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Ref gives us cards for a laugh, spuds get nothing

 

[Espania blade]

They are pullng our backline out of shape, hence more silly tackles, expect more yellow cards, Bash has to be replaced at H/T

 

[United Aren't Back.]

BBC radio Sheffield have just lost connection with WHL. Got the match v Ipswich on from Swillsborough instead. FFS.

 

[SUFCinks]

Mcsauce is spicy!!

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Comms are so biased to spuds

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Ipswich are now 1 up so not all that bad .....

 

[jt64]

Dunno how the ref only gave +3, Wes wasted five on his own

Bet ya dancin nah

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Good 1st half for the BLADES. Foderingham has been Brill and kept the BLADES in the game.

 

[Chimpan-A]

Is that piggy ekoku.on the comms?

Yes, not even trying to pretend not to be biased against us. Criticised every single thing we have done, crying out for penalties and bookings.
Maddison a hell of a player but if I was McBurnie I would be all up in his grill for trying to get me booked for kicking the ball away. The young Noel Edmonds looking bulb.

 

[Bobby b]

Comms are so biased to spuds

They don't like mcburnie as a centre forward so they sound like unitedites

 

[Jon Bon II]

McB been a warrior this half. Won 95% of flick-ons and loads more headers in our box.

 

[jono_t2000]

Game’s gone.

Bashs was for kicking ball away after shirt pull... Not actual shirt pull itself.

Archers was for refusing to give ball back after commiting foul.

Our players need to get used to the new rules quick sharp.

 

[Argentinemanager]

Ive seen reds given for what wes did, so ref isnt biased

 

[paidsy]

The ref is just poor. Which will mean both sides think he is bent towards the other.

 

[Revolution]

Lots of timewasting
Some good goalkeeping
Some decent defending
We don’t have much of the ball but we look decent when we do
McAtee unlucky not to score

Just about hanging in there

 

[HarryHaslam]

We have to start play acting and asking the ref to card players. It’s beyond a joke how we get easy cards and opposition doesn’t. One of the main reasons is they are moaning at the ref for anything at all and just minor touches and they are screaming at the ref. Where as we don’t go down, don’t roll about, don't play act, don’t ask the ref for cards, I’m sorry but in this day and age when you can’t touch a player we have to join the rest and play act, for instance the player who slid onto Wes at the end, if Wes rolls about like he’s been shot 100% that player is getting booked and then is on a tightrope for the rest of the game, Wes just acted like it was nothing… We have to get with the times unfortunately and do what everyone else does, it will win us a point here and there.
