He gave them the free kick for a tug on the shorts, yet Lowe is rugby tackled and nothing. Bent as fuck

Battled well but a severe lack of quality is worrying.

I’m angry with the ref and the opposition for a change which I think is a sign of progress 😂

The best news from tonight, we have our left back nailed down. First name on the sheet for the weekend. He’s a player that lad. Sure he is a right back but can play on the left

27 games without a clean sheet for Saints, until tonight… that shows how toothless we are.

15 shots of which two on target I suppose that’s the refs fault
Simply not good enough
And the difference in the end a brain dead shit footballer grabs a pair of shorts and holds on for a couple of seconds right in front of the ref
Yes blame the ref by all means but there’s two many Stoke players that anti fit to to wear the shirt

Battled well but a severe lack of quality is worrying. From the team on the pitch - but when Bae is ready, Vidi and Mmaae are back then we’ll have the quality in the side. Defence is a concern, we need numbers in there and Burger looks a player - he could deputise in defence perhaps. We’re not far off. Injuries are killing us. Ref was horrid. Positives to take from tonight but I’ll still sulk like a kid now.

That wasn’t that bad, daft fouls need cutting out. It was just a very good free kick that won the game. Some daft decisions aplentlyvas the game went on. One thing that stood out that either Johnson or Laurent didn’t quite know to press or just stop the the ball to the dood behind him, a stick or bust thing and I guess this is down to pace and trust the fellas behind you. That’s a manager thing to realise that and it happened less second half, not sure if it’s down to technical direction or changes of personal on pitch. It was certainly obvious to see in first half. Not all bad, I quite enjoyed that game, can stomach a loss when taking the game in its own context and not what the wider context is, I mean I thought we give that a go and it really didn’t feel as if it was like some of reacent games where you felt from the approach of the players on the pitch they didn’t give a shit. To me it’s one of them games and say hey oh a good free kick. Just hope the doods don’t loose confidence that’s the danger if this type of game repeats. Oh for token , ref fell into them just playing upto silly shit. We could have avoided that by not doing silly shit in the first place. Work tomorrow terra

Effort was there, but game plan and creativity is dreadful.
We look like a team that has never met every game, Neil needs to focus on how we want to play and stick with it. The players aren't going to gel if he is changing tactics every game.
And the ref was a useless twat!

Thought we did okay tonight. Not much in the game and the ref was a dick head who had an agenda.
This showed when he had plenty of time to get out of the way of burger but just stood there and took him out which stopped play while we had the ball?
Absolute tosser.

Played ok and showed some signs of fight I’m sick to the back teeth of the poor home form and seeing teams come here and getting results hope the wilmot injury isn’t too serious we could be really up against it on Saturday with just one centre back fit

Its also harder to score when the ref lets the opposition rugby tackle your strikers. we created nothing I'm not sure you're correct there; with at least one (very clear) pen, possibly two (second less clear, but given often enough) not being given is of itself isn't "nothing", and that in a game where the opposition scored a single goal from a free kick which goes in 1 in 7 times in the championship - that indicates a close game, which it was with very small margins. In addition the ref was awful even at championship standards across the whole game from a Stoke perspective - of course the Southampton fans will be very happy to have effectively been handed the three points which could very easily have been only 1 or 0 if things had gone more our way. I get that you're probably trolling the board given that you've made the same type of post to multiple people - its the kind of thing a child does on opposition forums rather than someone with over 1.5k posts.

Social media is full of Saints fans marvelling at the way the ref favoured them and saying we were as good as them (not that good admittedly). Our fans on here lining up to slate us. I've done the same for many recent matches but not tonight, that was disgusting from the ref.

That Referee is on a par with Styles & Atkinson.
How he is allowed to Ref. Pro footballers is a mystery.

Well i can not believe that.
The ref was a complete and utter fucktard.
Nearly all of his decision makimg was wromg today. He never once punished them for time wasting and blatant dives, they won a million free kicks more than half never a foul, think he booked everyone in our team not sure about them. How does he not see lowe get polaxed to the floor as blatant as your ever going to see. You could go on all night.
Then to top it off you watch that smug RAT, russell all smug as, at the end what a weapon he is i hope he never ever manages here i hate the guy.
The ref and russell can go fuck themselves.

If we actually play all of those at the same time we wouldn’t be far off being a decent team, and that’s with Vidigal, Mmaee and Campbell to come back.

Smallbone was good a clever simple regurtertater of the ball, not very often cutting, but quick to regurtutate (recycle) . But he does it well. Hats off to him.

At least a point there, minimum, I thought we were brilliant tonight against a very good side, possibly shaded second half, ref had a shocker! No IFS or buts, different ref I think different outcome tonight, just need that commitment to continue, well done stoke

When you watch our players they just don't know what system they are playing. This is all down to the manager and coaching staff. There is only one place we are going. 3 division,Crowds of 13,000. I'm 55 now and think I and many others have been lucky with ten years in the Premier league and Europe.
May have to now wait another 28 odd years..

We need a strong centre back on a free from somewhere, the situation in defence is scandalous.
