[Nelsta]

good save robbo, jesus.....come on rovers!!

[DE.]

WHAT was Givet doing there? Lucky Bent f'd it up.

[Nelsta]

poor ball emerton, should've done better.

[Amo]

Oh look, knock it about a bit and we look like creating something.

[Nelsta]

unlucky niko....keep it up rovers.

[Tom]

How do they get away with challenges that niko got booked for?

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Glad we never signed that Egyptian. Apart from his pace, he looks shocking.

[Miker]

What's with all the clumsy challenges?

[slough_rover]

One of the worst games ive seen on Sky for a while.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

To be fair to Sunderland, they're looking to play good football but we have sucked the life out of the them and the game. Even they are starting to look awful.

Could be a red card for Samba for pro foul and possible penalty.

Big decision here from the ref.

[DE.]

Samba does it again. Can't really compalin about that red, what the hell was he doing?

[Tim Southampton Rover]

######.

Red Card.

[BuckyRover]

My evening ruined

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Jones in at centre back.

Let's hope we survive till half time now.

[slough_rover]

His clumsiness caused the sending off.

[Heinz]

Samba excellent defender, horrible on the ball..

[Amo]

Awful pass by Pedersen, tbh.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Good strong wall there.

[Mr. E]

the referee can burn in every part of hell that ever existed.

[BuckyRover]

Would it have been better if he had let him score?

He did the same at Villa league cup semi. It would have been better with 11 v 11.

[Miker]

That is a bullshit red card... Now I'm not sure if it's clumsy challenges or sunderland's players riding the challenges...

[slough_rover]

the referee can burn in every part of hell that ever existed.

Why?He was the last man and fouled him. Thank God your not a ref.

[Tom]

Samba you bloody idiot. Why do that on the edge of the box.

[DE.]

Well, I have to say that based on that half I can completely understand why BFS chooses to play hoofball. We look very clumsy on the ball, only Diouf looks comfortable with it. Samba has potentially cost us hugely once again, for all his strengths he has form for costly sending offs and we're paying the price for that again.

We'll go ultra defensive now and play for the 0-0. Going to be a longggggg 2nd half lads and ladies

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Not sure why people are against the red card. It was 100% the correct decision.
