Typical of our luck, Sheaf has probably his best half of the season and gets injured.
Having said that, we've got the ball forward a bit quicker since he went off.

How’s that not a second yellow?????!!!!!!

Because it's another dog shit ref.

Simms needs to come out second half and go straight through O'Nien.

 

[MalcSB]

Really poor refereeing. Already warned them.

He was at it a third time as well and missed it.

Apparently refs only get 15% of key decisions wrong.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Take the lead and O'Nien goes in the book, great couple of minutes. Need to be a lot sharper going forward though, likewise need to be much more careful with the ball.

 

[Johnnythespider]

That had to be a penalty surely, unless he's booked both players, which I don't think he did

 

[skybluepm2]

Take that every day of the week. We’ve been poor on the most part, ref pretty dreadful but got the all important decision right for the goal. Gobsmacked the tosspot who headbutted Sheaf wasn’t sent off, and why we weren’t given a penalty when he’s booked that rat for a blatant foul despite an earlier warning. Need to get the second and the gimps will turn on Beale and the team.

Godden on for Simms by 60, Lati for Allen the ant. Wouldn’t change a lot else. Saka and O’Hare key to sealing a win here. Come on boys!

 

[shmmeee]

Of course you can, it was a professional foul, refs go back to book people after playing the advantage all the time.

Nah he’s right. If the booking is for “stopping a promising attack” it’s not given. But surely that’s a booking anywhere on the pitch? He just dragged him down by his head.

We need to get at him, he will get sent off. Same with their Left Back.

Solid half. Wright holding the ball better. Definitely improving. Allen has really struggled but needs to step up with Sheaf off the pitch. Van Ewijk and Sakamota causing more problems than Clark so far. Long may it continue. Bidwell sticking to Roberts like glue. What a solid defender.

What Law of the Game are you penalising him for?




I'd like to see the non penalty award again, looked like the ball was in play before he blew to me.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

No different to a late challenge, it's the intent.

It’s the law though

 

[baldy]

Think all of the front 4 are to be fair (saka has done bits)

You need a two-footed tackle on you for using that horrible phrase 'bits'

 

[shmmeee]

Anyway. Does O’Hare get an assist for that? If so that’s a goal involvement per game since returning.

 

[Nick]

The ref defenders on here are weird.

Absolute madness no second yellow
Clear as day and had time to make the correct call

 

[Nuskyblue]

How is that not a penalty?

What happened? Must have been during a spell of buffering....

 

[Nick]

I will take it, although I didn't intend it like that. Was just typing quick.

 

[Johhny Blue]

Ifollow says Sunderland won 50% of headed duels and we won the other 56%

 

[no_loyalty]

Really happy we are in front. We have played ok but still giving possession away too easily, O’Nien is just a thug and should have gone. Hume also lucky to still be on the pitch.

 

[shmmeee]

It’s the law though

Its a stupid law TBH. That’s a yellow all day and we shouldn’t be punished for it.

 

[Tommo1993]

Remember when McEveley flew through Lameiras at Bramall Lane? I’d love that on O’Nien, except:

1. We don’t have anyone stupid enough to commit to it.
2. Even if we did, we wouldn’t get away with it.

Definitely

Fucking he’ll that Leeds result is looking good nie

We got the goal
Excellent advantage

 

[Nick]

We whip a corner in, ref blows for a foul and books their player, it's a retake of the corner.

He blew for the foul after the corner was taken.

 

[MalcSB]

Surely dragging Wright down by the neck with no attempt to play the ball is a foul worthy of a caution

 

[Ashdown]

Anyway. Does O’Hare get an assist for that? If so that’s a goal involvement per game since returning.

Callum did well and Saka played a one two off the defender

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

6% advantage is impressive

Gimps! Superb.

Harsh to wish injury on players, but sometimes…

I wouldn't wish an injury to any player, but O'nien isn't a player, just a scummy mollusc.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

We need to get at him, he will get sent off. Same with their Left Back.

Agreed

 

[shmmeee]

Sunderland third shirt looks like it should be digging up a road somewhere

 

[Nuskyblue]

An using WWE moves on a forward is neither of those?

Point taken. It was sinical and a yellow all day IMO, if it's in the laws that something like that can't be punished makes the law an ass.

Ifollow can get fucked

 

[ccfcchris]

My bladder has more control than Ellis Simms .

A few on here will relate to that.
