Did he need one more than we need our top goal scorer to be focused and in a good move going into the later parts of the season?
Later parts? We're already at the season end pretty much.

What I feel is what happened when David Beckham while playing for Real Madrid got a Free kick taken from him to put some goals on Roberto Carlos' goal sheet which he scored by the way - cos Carlos could do that same as Beckham but it was banter between them.

I don't see how 1 pen could derail a striker's focus in a garbage game against a relegation side...please explain to me how that could be?
 
I'm not a fan of blondes in general. That said, if Margot Robbie or Blake Lively knocked at my door tonight, I'd be polite.

Much more into redheads & brunettes. Also got a thing for Asian birds, reminds me of the many years I spent over there...none were from brothels by the way!

Yes Mrs B is a redhead or strawberry blonde’ as she calls herself!

Too frightened to disagree!
 
Biggest money making league in the world, most expensive and extensive camera plans for every game, we have spider cams on wires and they go with this angle FFS!

They don't want to get decisions right. If they do, then they are the most incompetent humans on the planet.
Exactly, the tools are fantastic but the humans using them are utter morons.

It should never ever take that long, it's ridiculous. If you can't decide within 1 minute tops, go with the on-field decision.

Them idiots even looked at Brennan and Bergvall's position, when they were clearly onside all along.
 
Think that's the quietest I have ever been at a game, just felt no enthusiasm for it at all. And that was the feeling of most of our supporters, if the atmosphere was anything to go by.
Their pink shirts, the length of time it took for the offside decision to be made, the no-show in the second half, the inevitable goal back so we couldn't take the win for granted, just about summed up the afternoon.
On TV it looked like they checked out at the half.
 
It's a meaningless hattrick, I just don't agree personally, Tel's first prem goal is arguably a bigger deal than that.

I'll give Johnson credit, his 2 finishes were really Good, but that doesn't entitle him to take the pen over the designated taker.

If Solanke or Son had been on and took it would people still be griping?
The game wasn’t won, give it to the best penalty taker on the pitch, not just because someone is on a hattrick.
 
Help me someone - those USELESS cunts at Stockley Park had me kicking my heels for more than 5 minutes again, then eventually chalked off a nice little goal for the LOVELY Bergvall. Can someone please tell me if Romero was actually offside? They only showed the still frame for a couple of seconds and it looked questionable to me.
We are losing too many goals go millimetres offside decisions. Are it offside if the foot,the whole foot is offside and nothing else,
 
Right. My YELLOW lines show where those idiots should have drawn their lines for Romero...

NOT OFFSIDE
They have their own angles, perspectives and biasness in those lines drawing. I gave up on them. Give some tech wiz who don't have a favourite club the same money paid to these refs in the VAR room, they will draw a hell lot better decide faster. Keep those fucking refs on the fields.
 
My thoughts on the game. I had the benefit of being able to watch the full 90 live on TV (not just highlights).

First half we were excellent. Could have scored 2 or 3 more had it not been for some great saves. Movement was good, and its very interesting to see how Johnson is able to ghost defenders and make very clever late runs into the box. I though Son was very good, got himself up and down the pitch; and was always alert when dropping back and defending. Was interesting to see him often drop deep to collect the ball and play off Madisson.

2nd half was a different kettle of fish. Its often remarked that Ange doesn't defend leads and just goes gun-ho for all-out attack - well we came out, dropped deep and defended. Kept our shape and were organized. Yet again; another goal from a cross to the back post- something we need to fix.

Vicario seemed very unhappy with Spence in the 2nd half for always allowing crosses and shots. When the goal went in he was clearly furious at Spence for not doing more.

If Bentencaur keeps up this form and the injuries are behind him - we really must get him on a new contract in the summer.

Ange looked furious when Tel took the pen, and respect to Johnson for not making a fuss. Hope this doesn't lead to problems in the dressing room.

Solanke was once again terrible. Any ball into him was lost as he was almost always easily muscled off the ball; or had a poor first touch. He was also nowhere to be seen when we put balls into the box. If Richy is fit to play; I'd rather he get the nod.

I would
.all hat-tricks are valid...and I'm not at all a BJ fan....
