Crafty Canary 511 Posted April 17, 2021 So before the match we were 8 points clear of Watford with 5 to play. Now we are 8 points ahead with 4 to play. Hey Presto we are in a stronger position for the title than before KO. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terminally Yellow 2,492 Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) The joy of building up such a commanding lead is it allows us to shrug our shoulders and move on when nights like this happen. Congratulations Bournemouth. You won the battle. We'll clearly win the war. Attention turns to Watford where now we put ourselves firmly in the driving seat for the title with a win.

It's Character Forming 1,167 Posted April 17, 2021 Well incredibly frustrating as they barely got a touch of the ball in the first 15 minutes and a bizarre straight red has totally ruined it. But if you’re going to have an awful referee decision, it’s best to have it when you’re already promoted!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Hairy 3,806 Posted April 17, 2021 Nothing changes after that to be honest, including my utter hatred of that turd of a club, I hope whoever gets Bournemouth in the play offs gives them an utter spanking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) We already had injuries in defence before tonight. Hanley nearly came off in the first half. Pukki went off and had ice on his leg etc etc. The other key factor is that we were already promoted before kick off. Promotion was the sole aim this season. We went into the game with the aim of winning it. However, once the ref had decided he wanted to ruin the contest and with Bournemouth's cheating, I think the team and Farke realised that there would be little to be gained in going balls out, to try and get something from the game. It's been a long, unprecedented and hectic season and risking an injury or indeed another red from a shocking bit of refereeing or cheating from Bournemouth, with 4 games still remaining just wasn't worth it. Log it in the back of your mind as another Tranmere away (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_2/8583167.stm ) and just enjoy the promotion!

If **** had beaten us fair n square, fair enough you take it on the chin, but they and the ref have fcked us over with blatent cheating and poor decisions. A great day spoiled.

Ealing Canary 0 Posted April 17, 2021 That referee has really pissed me off. First game I've been able to watch all season, here in Toronto it was a proper 3:00pm Saturday kick-off, and we were looking to annahalate them after Emi's goal and total posession of the ball until that ridiculous decision. Watford lost v Luton cos they weren't good enough. We lost to Bournemouth cos the Ref ****ed up. Gap is the same with 1 less game to play, and we're already promoted, they're not. I'm looking forward to that game against Watford - reminds me a bit of the 3-1 away to Leeds last time we won the Championship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tumbleweed 106 Posted April 17, 2021 Jim spot on. That first 17 mins 11 v 11 was incredible. If you lose you want it to be fair and square. Farke refused to discuss the ref tho' did say he ruined the game. End of the day we are up, its very irritating to lose tonight but we have done the important bit. 3 players needed and 17th + may be on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
