It’s meant to be a ‘high bar’ and ‘clear and obvious’ but that only appears to apply to some teams some of the time.
Bring in the semi automated VAR for offsides that works so well in Europe and bin the rest off.
Will never happen though cos the elite won’t be able to manipulate results anymore

We were always going to lose v Toon. They’re miles better than us. But when yet again VAR goes in their favour, Bruno not even a yellow for a horrific challenge, you realise that the corruption is real. Not sure I can be arsed to go anymore. #saintsfc

Starmer's best moment as PM And the Powellisation of conservative thought

Have written about Starmer's speech- his best moment yet as PM. He implicitly identified what sits at the heart of this story: the emergence of a common UK/US online right, headed by the radicalised Musk.

It is making extremist, until recently fringe politics mainstream in British conservatism.

Another humiliating performance. The good news is I’m not going to the FA Cup game so I’ve got 2 weeks before I have to drag myself through it again. #saintsfc.
So I’m going to focus on things that bring a smile to my face for a bit.

Dreamt last night that Fernandes scored a cracking volley to win the game today 1 nil. You heard it here first. #saintsfc #getabeton

Only a 4th game this season where we’ve got some points. And a clean sheet. I’ll take that!

Only the 4th game out of 17 this season that we’ve managed some points. I’ll take that! #saintsfc

So I know Whamageddon is a thing for some. I play my own version, which is to listen to Last Christmas every day in December as it’s a banger and George Michael is a total legend

Actually really enjoyed being at St Marys tonight. Awful 1st half obviously but grew into it. Great finish from Archer. Fans behind the team no matter what.
But Tall Paul 🙈 joke of a footballer #saintsfc

So change in personnel, new formation, and 3 nil down in under 15 mins. The bloke is clueless. Get him out, he’s out of his depth. #saintsfc

Today is a good day. Off to catch @fatfreddysdrop.bsky.social at the Roundhouse tonight. Good times ahead!

It’s madness. We play high risk football at the back and low risk football in attack. And it simply doesn’t work. Shame he’s too pig headed to admit it.

Maybe. But digging out the fans will only go one way.
And I’d be quite happy to deal with the pressure for a few million quid a year

Maybe not blame but a dig at the fans nevertheless. Who will be there long after he’s gone.

Well here’s Martin blaming the fans for us losing.
It’s time he went the absolute bellend. #saintsfc

Looked alright for 15 mins 🤣🤣🤣 if that’s a positive then wow! We truly are screwed.

Abysmal. Not a single effort on target against a poor Villa side. High risk football at the back. Low risk up front. Terrible to watch again. I’ve been a ST holder for years but praying we keep selling out and I can get my money back. I don’t want to go and watch this carnage anymore. #saintsfc

@alfiehouse.bsky.social we’ve lost all threat going forwards thanks to the plodding possession football that RM loves.
Not a single effort on target. Clueless. It’s proving very hard to love #saintsfc right now

Our board is clearly running some kind of social experiment about the limits of supporter tolerance. #SaintsFC

It’s dreadful. Again. RM is so out of his depth but he doesn’t know how to change it. So rinse and repeat week in week out.

I’m trying 2 so the right thing and follow back anyone who follows me.
But if you put nothing in your bio and no photo of a human as your profile then I’m not taking the chance.
As for the plethora of apparently young women who immediately pm with an awkward use of the English language…. Blocked

So here we go again. Another Saturday. Another game where it feels like it’s not IF we lose, more like by how many. Being a #saintsfc fan is hard work right now.

I think they have the capability to fight and maybe stay up. But the way we set up and continuously give goals away.. no chance
