Once again we have been screwed by VAR and inept refereeing. I am not certain that either of their penalties were actual penalties. It's too easy to go down and con the referee and those operating VAR.

Why no red card for our penalty, the offending player had already been shown a yellow?

Our Captain showed great sportsmanship and maturity to stay on his feet when he was given a Liverpool handshake. Many would have gone down holding their face and giving the referee no choice but to brandish a red card.

The game is being spoilt by poor referees , VAR and cheating players. These things would not happen on a Rugby field!

I also thought our manager spoke with great restraint , especially when he must have been seething inside.

Seems to be something really good happening here.

Playing on the front foot, pressing, players finding space, one goal away from last seasons tally already.

The players look happy, the fun and togetherness seems to be back for the first time since promotion first season.

Great performance and it's nice to start looking up the table instead of down.

Lovely gesture for Mario Lemina and his father, on the pitch and the photo taken in the changing room after. Class.

I was thinking the same thing at the game yesterday, the players seem confident and happy like the Nuno era again. The quality of our football was exceptional at times, really easy on the eye.While we shared possession we dominated the game, as O’Neill said performance of the season so far. Massive credit to him he’s really exceeded my expectations… 50 points and a good cup run would be nice for the remainder of the season 🙂

The support for super Mario was fantastic from the stands and from the players, good to see👍

Just over halfway through the season. Thoughts on GON?

I was extremely sceptical at first admittedly but if he carries on like this for the rest of the season I'll be changing the 'N' to a 'D'.

He is doing very well with a small squad that all, it appears, want to play for him. It would not surprise me that one, or more of the big boys come in for him in the summer. I hope after we gave him a chance, he stays loyal to us. Hobbs must take some credit for his appointment as well. It would be great also, if we could hang onto our best players and not become a feeder club.
