Barton and "his" fans should be more worried about all of the chances Pompey missed, and how they got battered by Barnsley just a few days ago - the same Barnsley who managed to lose 3-0 at home to Wycombe today.

It looked like a lunge from what I seen as he was far away from the ball, but Thompson did change his direction to block Whelan and try and shield the ball out. Probably a frustration tackle - but I only seen it on once, so it may have been an innocent ill timed challenge. Barton will probably say Whelan is a lovely fella and would never do anything deliberately....

This is where I really hate a certain rule. They time wasted at every opportunity when they were drawing and happy, why should they then get given extra minutes at the end to chase the game because they are then losing. They got given 7 added mins, which was absolutely crazy. All of their time wasting should have been taken off the added time. I honestly think this should be for every game, the times keepers are wasting time only for it to backfire and then they are suddenly taking quick goal kicks and for some strange reason they don't have to go to the other side of the box to take them. They should be punished for their antics and not be given back time they have wasted in the first place.

I maybe wrong here, but the Rovers player looked like he actually put his foot behind the Pompey defender on the replay I seen which then made him fall. At first viewing it looked a stonewall (and will be if I have got it wrong), but that is what it looked like to me. Unsure how Pompey got one as the camera was too slow to see it full view. As for them moaning about the ref, it was Gavin Ward - he's just awful anyway. Whelan could have gone for his leg breaker, and they could easily have been 3/4 down before equalising with their first shot on target from a bad mistake - but conveniently forget all of that.

Apologies, although it wasn't clear reading my post, I did mean it for the "stay in the kitchen" comment in the post I quoted. Which would obviously have been said as some sort of attempt at a joke at the time.

Do we have multiple fans that say we have the best fans or highest numbers in the Championship? Do we have fans that regularly say we need a bigger Stadium even though we rarely sell out? Maybe just me, but they do seem to be properly obsessed with the numbers, and now they are being shown up they say "ah, yeah but look at the percentage up against our home games", and as stated on here, that just proves how shocking their home attendances truly are.

How will people, and women in particular cope with hearing such disgraceful remarks...

Multiple times in the first half last night. Just hope they keep doing/trying it on Sunday.

In the morning

Why would you think it wasn't? O'Nien should have got a straight red as well for his awful challenge, surprised it isn't on the highlights I have seen. Another shocker from a ref who gave a yellow for it, so he obviously seen it.

Disgraceful challenge.

The game doesn't have to be littered with players at that age playing for next to nothing to mean that it doesn't ever happen. You would think he would have asked or has been told a ballpark, or even actual figure before training with us, if the aim is to get a contract. Everyone knows we are skint, if Samba and his agent don't then I'd find that pretty odd.

?

Jeez, what time did they leave? They had already got out the ground and been to McDonalds and been served and out. Earlier than some of the Dolman

I know a couple doing that, but I also know one who I honestly think JB could literally do anything and he would be still called some sort of saint. Can't stop hearing how he brings through all of these Prem players (one isn't it), how he is loved by many, and has such a high reputation amongst other coaches etc etc etc. As soon as he says anything that is controversial, or how good their fans are, how many tickets they could sell, anything about us, he goes up another notch and is near legend status now. Mind you he still says the Fruit Market is a done deal as well.

Oooohhhh... someone has been on the juice today.... Maybe you should actually read back your own posts, they are ridiculous, and not needed. Obviously you simply cannot handle anyone having a different opinion to yourself. No doubt it was a drinking alone day....

Are you ok? You asked for where Pearson has said it was a red and have been given the info, and yet come out with the very childish "whatever"?

Saying he thought about quitting is about getting this some air time imo, and was said for that reason alone. Sykes clear red, after he was fouled initially and should have had a free kick. Lost his head and no excuses. Freeman should have had a red for violent conduct too, if retaliation is allowed now for a yellow, then all I hope it is consistent across the board - but we all know it won't be. Last night it looked from the replays that Atkinson was caught, but the camera was Lansdown side so cannot see the whole incident. Hull - the Refs Association (or whatever it was) has said we should have had 2 pens (I thought one was a definite) and theirs wasn't a pen, add in the fact their players kicking lumps out of us with no cards in the first half. The officiating in that game alone was ridiculous. All ifs and buts, but we should never had lost at Hull and I am pretty confident we would have beat a 10 man Wigan in those conditions. This is down to the Officials, and not just some fans having a moan at one thing they got wrong over the 4 games we have played.

This. For offsides VAR should be one line across the pitch and if you cannot see they are offside it's not offside. End of. Should be done in seconds from a studio and relayed back with hardly any interruptions. It's got to the point of "look what we can do".

Don't forget Baker

Someone is hoping for the collapse to start quickly.

One reason why I love listening to the blue few. A mate of mine seems to think we now lose 30+ million per year, no matter what gets explained that's what happens in his head. Then we have others regarding a huge figure that SL has apparently just peed away over the years, it's as if he has nothing to show for it whatsoever. Add in (assuming it all goes ahead) the new plans for a basketball arena, hotel and housing and even with the outlay for that, then it would be interesting if they do lose anything at all.

I stated watching it and turned it off after a few minutes. It's just awful journalism imo.

That's a bit like putting some lovely spin on our 6-2 defeat to Fulham, by saying we were involved in an 8 goal thriller but not mentioning the final score.

I got to the "they are only one division above us" and left. We're only one division below the Prem, but are miles away from pretty much every team in that league. How would they even pay Championship wages with 9k crowds in the tented village? I must have missed where they are making money every season, hasn't Wally been bailing them out every season - and what has he got to show for it? Loads of players worth millions? Why they even think Lansdown has basically done his dough is beyond me. They seem to see a figure and that's it, job done. I guess they are not used to looking at actual assets of the club/Lansdown. Stadium, training ground, infrastructure, Rugby, Basketball, new development of another arena and flats and hotel, and then can add in the players. I wonder how all that compares to the mighty Roverzzz situation? Obviously none of them would swap positions.....
