Originally posted by Painter Your all grabbing at straws, the penalties weren't given, that's it. The truth is, we were absolute sh-te tonight, didn't deserve to get anything. The total lack of effort was an embarrassment against a team who didn't have to play well to make us look as if we have accepted defeat as the norm. Sorry, you cannot just dismiss them either. They are potentially major turning points in the game in our favour. We were s*** 1st half, but were the better team 2nd half until we scored, so did deserve something. There is no lack of effort, it is a lack of confidence that is paralysing the players now and every blatantly poor decision just drags them down a little more. Seriously, we have had to recover or try to recover from so many bent decisions in 2016/17 I'm actually amazed we have been able to give anyone a decent game. It would of been very easy for them to just quit and let in 4 or 5 a game, but they haven't. Lack of quality, yes, but heart or fight, no. That's Life And as funny as it may seem Some people get their kicks stompin' on a Dream. KEEP THE FAITH!!!!!

Rangel caught the ball with a right cross then, as it came across, he followed up with a left hook. Amazing handspeed. It was like watching Clinton McKenzie with a speed ball He couldn't have put more skin on the ball if he'd grabbed it with both hands and kissed it. What species was that referee? Really. Is there a zoo somewhere, missing a shaved monkey?

Your kidding yourself, the effort was pathetic, we just sat back and let Swansea play it around, unchallenged. I wouldn't play Townsend again, he is a cancer to the team. Campbell gives 100% everytime, it's just a shame he is not very good.

One or both of them should have been given. There's definitely something shady going on here. But the players can't just rely on penalties to score goals or win games. They need to create more chances from open play and must take them when they come along. They can't go looking for penalties and hoping they will be given in key moments, because whether they should be awarded or not, they likely won't. Let's see more proper goals from open play and not allow the officials any more opportunities to rob us of vital points.

Currently writing an official complaint to the committee. It's actually just unacceptable. Two of the clearest penalties you'll ever see.

Campbell gives 100% everytime, it's just a shame he is not very good. I agree we were poor and we didn't deserve anything but it cannot be understated how little breaks / or bad breaks can effect a fragile team. Look at Southampton a lucky keeper error and we go from looking dog poo to being pretty good. The penalties were not the only fishy decisions. The Rangel stepping across Sakho and putting his arm in his chest as he was running by and the ref gives a foul against Sakho very odd. Also very strange that Sky did not show Rangel's juggling act in the box but showed five minutes of time wasting at the corner flag, in the highlights package. The cellophane illusion of a starry sky / Stretched over an open sore. Big Nothing
