Yeah but in the entire history of football have you ever seen that happen? Anyway the blind ****er was standing right behind Gibbs: he could see there was no way it could have been him. Once he was told --- he could have confirmed this with other players --- he should have called Gibbs back and admitted his mistake. Now the guy is out for three games and he did nothing to deserve it.
The fact that the ref was seen to be wrong has been borne out in the result that he has been recused from any of the last remaining Prem matches.

Today's match was the polar opposite of how our matches usually go. We started very well then it all went downhill. Usually we start slow and chase games.
We are fine though, no danger of going down.

Yeah, much better to start slow and then explode later or even near the end. Look at Newcastle: last effing seconds!
Yeah but we're safe though. Still, aren't you tired of breathing a sigh of relief every season as we survive? Shouldn't we be more aiming for mid-table more of the season? You'd think the sights would be set higher...
