I've not seen a manager as upset as Poyet was in the after match interviews for some time. I honestly thought he was going to cry. Pisser  He wasn't mad at the decisions it was the realisation he was managing Sunderland that had finally dawned on him. It took him a while to realise just how wank they are but he got there eventually.  |

I've got to add that his managers rant on the side line was one of the most entertaining I've seen for a while. It should have resulted in all Stokies singing 'Lets all do the Poyet' whilst taking their coats off |

I've never understood how a team can be 'in control of the game' unless they are in the lead.

The ref has given them a massive get out of jail card regards their performance It's called not having to face the music Adam Johnson apart they were very poor I didn't notice he was on the pitch until about the 70th minute. I thought he was garbage. The only one that impressed for me was Fletcher in the first 20 minutes he was a real handful I thought. |

We certainly made him look a handful, thought we were awful at the back for the first 20. I think we just needed to defend a few set pieces even if it was more luck than judgement, just to allow us to settle down after a month of defensive mayhem. Felt like after 20 mins we settled and there was only really one howler after than, which was Ryan trying to play Fletcher offside. |

Apparently OShea is disappointed with the reaction of Adam. Memories....  |

Quite possibly mate yeh Thought Whelan made a difference to us shape-wise. Gets a lot of stick on here but rarely lets us down and never ever hides. He gave us a bit of bite in the middle of the pitch, we need someone better than him to progress with this formation but at least we had someone in there trying to win the ball back. |

There were fans behind him jumping up and down as well. I have no idea how on earth a tackle like that can ever be classed as a sending off. If it is, then we might as well give up on the game now. When that has happened to us (as it has on many occasions) then we've been livid....and rightly so. Indeed. But has the media collectively ever been livid on our behalf as they are on Wes Brown and Sunderland's behalf over this one? Have they fuck. So fuck 'em all, thanks for the 3 points. |

There is no better holding midfielder than Whelan,and I think we are better with him than without,at the moment. |

These fucking idiots are ignoring the fact that if Brown was 6 inches to the left he would have caused Adam a serious injury, Charlie is lucky Brown is wank  Are you really trying to suggest that decision was anything other than one of the worst refereeing cock ups since the Prem started?! Are you suggesting it was? |

Adam could easily have 'gone over' and done a couple of dramatic rolls whilst clutching his leg........had he wanted to get Brown sent off but he had no such intention, unlike most other players in that position. The officials are the only ones to look at if Sunderland feel aggrieved (and they have every right). It was a very poor decision but Adam did nothing to provoke that decision.

Sending off was 50/50 and depending on the angle it looks worse than it was. What is beyond debate is that he made solid contact with Adam's shi guard that could be heard at the top of the Boothen, very loud smack. Adam carried himself like a true professional and to say otherwise is slander. Fine the muppet o'Shea!

I don't recall Robbie Savage being incandescent with rage with Sunderland's handball goal line clearance last time around. |

Are you suggesting it was? Easily. Brown basically kicked the ball and Adam happened to be near him. Kevin Friend should be out of the Premier League for that. It wasn't even the worst decision by a referee in the Premier League this weekend. That "honour" goes to Neil Swarbrick for failing to send off Wayne Rooney. Hall doesn't even get second place; step forward Phil Dowd for not showing a red card to Kevin Mirallas in the bin dipper derby. Wes Hall comes in third place for bad referring decisions; not my view but Graham Poll's in this piece from the Mail, which contains this sober assessemnt of the incident; The pace at which Brown flew into the tackle would certainly indicate a lack of control and he seemed to catch Adam after he had played the ball. Friend perhaps felt that at such pace the opponents' safety was endangered, and therefore I don’t feel that the red card can be described as clearly wrong.Worst referee decision in the Prem ever - you need to take a deep breath! |
