I only criticise the fouling, crap officiating and the fact that it makes my eyes bleed it's so shite, other than that it's fine.

Yes, but he done two of them. You do understand how red cards work, don't you?
Who’s this excitable ****? You actually sound like you’re sobbing whilst typing..

I’ve acknowledged he may well have been sent off haven’t I? It doesn't detract from the fact the three worst challenges in the first leg were by Sunderland players, yet folk are still twining about Luton being dirty!
How many more fouls did luton commit than us?Havent got the stats, bit from what I seen it was loads. That makes them a dirty team

20 to our 9. Luton have committed the most fouls in the Championship this season. In contrast, we were the most fouled.

Aye, cheers for that Spotty lad. Glad you pointed-out they were tall and used it to their advantage.
Insightful.

I think this Sallycinamon is a bit deluded. Any one with an ounce of footballing knowledge can see they are a dirty team.

Thel long ball tactic definitely won the day against our ravaged centre backs and good luck to you.
However had our main centre backs been fit I believe the result would have been reversed. I think you'll mind it more difficult to defeat the two remaining teams in the playoffs using that tactic.

To be fair the ref didn’t want to give fouls he bottled the atmosphere.
Their left back choke slammed Roberts in the second half and nowt was given

I’ll say it again, the 3 worst fouls on Saturday, two of which could easily have been red cards, were by Sunderland players. Does this make us a dirty side?

Tbf Stoke under Pullis made it work for years in the premier league, but that’s going back a decade.

The pitch was about the size of a 7-a-side pitch. So not only were they not playing LONG balls (more chipping it to certain areas to win the first and sceond balls repeatedly), but there was absolutely no space on the pitch for us to play pass and move football in.
Dawned on me in the second half, there were alway about 7 players on or around the ball, it was like watching schoolboy football. It compresses the play so much it was unreal.
Not gripes at all though. Luton are entitled to set their home ground up as they wish, and to play however they want. Funny enough, they didn't foul half as much as the first leg either (aside from one or 2 nasty ones).

Yes, terrible.Are you ignoring the fact that they have committed more fouls in the league than anyone else and our home game to suit your contrarian agenda? You can see with your own eyes they are a dirty team. And stats back it up. If you cannot see this, I question your football knowledge
We committed 9 fouls. Definitely not a dirty team

There’s no point in engaging with him at all mate. He’s one of the crowd who seem to revel in a defeat so he can come on and blow smoke up the opposition’s arse. Luton’s captain even admitted they played dirty but some bloke on a message board still argues otherwise.

I think the criticism is that they use persistent fouling as a tactic. I am sure they even practise. They challenge every decision against them. No problem with the long ball but I find the constant tactical fouling to be very cynical and pretty much cheating. It was the same with Millwall, continual fouling and because its so frequent the ref loses the ability to stay on top of it. They were the better side but they should have had a player sent off on saturday and definitely last night.
