*~*~* Luton v Sunderland match thread *~*~*

One thing that did irk me is they, probably on about five or six occasions, just dragged players to the ground with no attempt at the ball. Staggered the referee let it go so many times. 14 fouls and not one yellow card during the game.

I noticed this too. I think the referee’s baseline reference for fouls was too high. He’d have been blowing every 30 seconds if it wasn’t.

They'd obviously criticise him due to the disallowed goal. In reality had he refereed the game properly they'd have never been in the game. It was testament to Sunderland's quality that two fantastic goals were scored. The rest of the game was a right off. Enjoyed watching the lads triumph in the face of adversity but as a spectacle it was like something from the 80's.

It was the linesman who disallowed the goal, presumably for their player standing in front of Patterson?
I am not sure if it's worthwhile having a player obstructing a keeper, as invariably it's given as a free kick anyhow.

The dopey twat was 3 or 4 yards offside and way too slow getting back onside. He made it easy for the lino and owes Morris an apology.
 
No mention by the hatters of moses falling to the ground for the free kick prior to their goal ...never a foul in 100 years

Can someone let me know the lyrics to the Isidor chant? Can’t get the tune out of my head.

I know it mentions Russia and France, and making mackems dance - but that’s all I know for sure. :lol:

I totally get that.

It's just not a part of the game I like, whoever is doing it. How often have we seen teams time waste, and then concede in time added on?

I think we've all laughed at the mags for time wasting then conceding right at the end? It happened quite recently.

Either say, it's a small personal gripe that shouldn't overshadow a great result last night

Fantastic result last night.
To be fair I never watch the Mags
