OTF

I hate whinging about the referees, but if I want to stop it I'm going to have to stop watching.

3 minutes, if it was against us feels like they'd find 6. How is that not a backpass?

Finally Diame hooked for Shelvey. Should have come when we needed a winning goal rather than an equalizing one.

Very good finish it must be said.

Fucking hell, lack of awareness from Fernandez to turn it over.

I swear Dummett patrols the pitch just looking for opportunities to perform majestically committed sliding clearances.

Hooks out for Diame please...

Geez, thought that must have crossed there, cracking clearance from Dummett.

I know there's some poor players out there, but that's a harsh call... 😁

There'd be half a dozen penalties ar least. Whi highlights just how silly a penalty it was, but also defenders will need to smarten up their arm placement when VAR comes in if they follow literal interpretations.

So close there. What are they talking about with offside?!?

Terrible corner Ritchie.

Mike Dean.

It was well played by Almiron to take it as deep as he did before going down under the constant fouling, he guaranteed the yellow and as we saw the free-kick in perfect range.

Nice hit Rondon, passed into the back of the net. Fantastic time to score.

The Bournemouth mascot looks a little...... special.

Perez hard done by there.

Think a yellow was right, it was silly and sloppy.

Almiron, Rondon and a revitalised Perez form a good balanced attack, speed, power and trickery. To let him go would be insanity. I think it will come down to whether West Brom secure promotion and whether Ashley tries to excessively penny pinch because his contract is running down. We need some depth beyond these as Joselu isn't up to it.

Aye but that was during WWII Noelie, just like people are different so are the times...

Seems Rafa has misinterpreted the 2016 rule change regarding penalties when saying that Pickford could only get a yellow once the penalty was given. That would only apply if he made a play for the ball. Deliberate fouls with no attempt to play the ball, such as Laurent Koscielny's challenge on Robert Lewandowski last season, still incur a red.

Very much so, though more often we're left frustrated. I'll take it this way all the time thanks, close enough to justice served.

Silva complaining to the ref! Hilarious.

Fuck yes, that feels good. Ayo MOTM. Great team spirit. Pickford highlight reel stuff.

Yep. Although I'll cut him some slack here because the ref deserves it.
