And they would be down to ten with no goals if it was refereed properly. Just because we haven't played that well doesn't absolve them of pathetic officiating. Does playing well mean you get better referees?

Responding with "it's an excuse" every time someone points out someone failing to their job in a professionsal manner is also overused.

The ref doesnt stop us taking shots. If we were 2-0 up wed still be winning this game. When youre away you dont expect anything from refs. Its an 11th commandment. Didnt you know. We stink away from home... is it all down to the refs?

[Mac76]

Is a straight (or in this case totally gay) red still a 2 match ban?

two for dissent, three for dangerous tackles

[Niall_Quinn]

Three if it's for dangerous play, which is what this will be classed as.

Any jail time?

Drives me fucking crazy. We've had momentum for 3 games and then we decide to put in a dog shit performance like this, which brings on all the other problems. One step forward, two back.

[RomfordPele]

Brace yourself for the 12 mins of injury time if it’s still 1-1

[Thierrymon]

Pepe off the post!

[Niall_Quinn]

Not going to be our day. Fucking hell. How did that stay out?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lacazette somehow avoids scoring in any situation now.

even managed to do it twice then

[Niall_Quinn]

Standard barge is now a foul. Where did the nasty defender touch you?

Expecting anything resembling competence from referees is probably futile, yes. Just as expecting comprehension from this exchange was.
