You're obviously happy at that? How strange. Happy no just smiling at the happy clappers, we held our own against two of the best teams we have just lost three on the bounce, we have possibly the most negative manager in the league but we will piss it next season with three more of his mercurial signings now that is funny, we are only going to get out of this League one way under MON and it ain't via promotion, the coffee is boiling some need to shake of their slumbers and smell it. You are a very sad person.

Are we back on the blame the keeper for not saving a penalty agenda? It’s not the keepers fault you moron. Cheers for that. It’s an opinion you keyboard warrior. Of course it’s not his fault but his effort to save it was dreadful. Your opinion is wrong.

That’s pretty much what he did but the chose the wrong side, I don’t understand what more he could of done? Its a penalty. That's not what he did at all. Gunn blinked first and dived before Ayew struck the ball. Jeez, watching it from the angle behind Ayew, there was only one place he could put the ball. It's not the keepers fault but its ridiculously poor. He was flinching to put him off, he pretty much stayed in the same place for as long as he could?

We're a toxic, wank shit stain of a club and I'm fucking sick of it. Stone fucking Dominoes would save a penalty now and again, law of averages. Clear off to Doms then

We were the better side and deserved to win. Mikel and Brown still weak links. Powell and Souttar outstanding. Our two best (currently fit) players *Whispers* Brown played well and was a useful outlet. fabulous signing just what we needed £2m well spent, unfuckingbelievable.

If he stayed in the same place for as long as he could, he dives the right way. Simple.

What about you being a keyboard warrior who gets all shirty and starts namecalling when he disagrees with someone or the fact that the keeper could have done better at the penalty?

How do you delete your account on here? Looked everywhere Take a deep breath. Leave it tonight, all will be well in the morning 👌 Much appreciated! It's not so much tonight though, I've been losing interest in football for a while now. I haven't watched a full game (Stoke or otherwise) for weeks now. Seen the ref's decision tonight and it's just boring to see/my cue to say tra 👍🏼

If he stayed in the same place for as long as he could, he dives the right way. Simple. If you are reacting on a penalty you aren’t saving it im afraid pal. You stay for as long as you can but as soon as he is about to make contact you are diving or you aren’t getting near to it.

Football fans endorse cheating by having sky to watch their team - that’s the long and short of it, yeah? Almost. Every intelligent fan knows that this is now endorsed by the authorities as an acceptable way to win a match. This is true because there is no retrospective punishment. It is even OK by many fans and all media stooges. It is literally part of the game. Ergo, if you pay your money to support this modern version of the game then you have “No right to complain.” None at all. It’s like paying for your misses cosmetic surgery and complaining about her tits being too big 😂 Ok, I don’t have sky sports nor a season ticket but I am a football fan, where do I fall into your comments? You said: It amuses me when Football Fans are shocked that cheating is rewarded. It’s literally what you support by giving your Money every week. Followed by: If you contribute towards it in the form of Sky and Season Tickets you endorse it Presumably I’m ok to complain? Or do you need to have sky sports or a season ticket to be a football fan? Cheating has long been a factor in football. For example, as an intelligent football fan, have you ever heard of the hand of god incident? Diving isn’t just a recent thing, or a thing associated with Sky - it happened before - an an intelligent football fan have you ever heard of a footballer called Francis Lee? That said I think I understand your point now, I still think it’s harsh to suggest it’s endorsing it - say you’ve been a season ticket holder for 50 years, it’s a big part of you and your life it’s not fair to suggest they endorse it - which is probably why you added the millennial bit in your original post. But then that becomes ageist and suggests that only older fans, pre-sky, do not endorse cheating and diving. People will do what they can to watch their team - that doesn’t mean they endorse it. Yeah, maybe put up and accept it but not endorse. The language used, the word endorse, is my issue.

Not if it goes in the corner no. See David Seaman and Peter Shilton v Germany who didn't get near a penalty because they were all right in the corner. Ayew doesn't take penalties that way. He rolls them softly. Gunn wouldn't have had to even dive to save tonight's penalty had he waited. He could have thrown his hat on it. Edit...and I aren't your pal.

That guy always takes his penalties like that and keepers rarely save them.

If you are facing a penalty from James Beattie, Harry Kane or Alan Shearer you need to pick a side. If you are facing Jordan Ayew, Eden Hazard, Fernandes, Pogba etc, you don't move and wait for the kick...exactly how Butland saved Hazard's all those years ago.

Gunn blinked first and dived before Ayew struck the ball. You don't dive the wrong way if you react to the strike. You dive the wrong way if you guess. Gunn guessed, wrongly, like our keepers do on pretty much all of the last 45 penalties on the trot we've now let in. Jeez, watching it from the angle behind Ayew, there was only one place he could put the ball. It's not the keepers fault but its ridiculously poor. With that stupid walk up it isn't a run, there's only one place he can put it ,and that ain't where Gunn went stand up and he should be able to throw his cap on it .

It doesn't seem to be that straightforward. That guy always takes his penalties like that and keepers rarely save them. I'm not saying Gunn is at fault. I'm saying its frustrating. We've conceded from our last 45 penalties taken in the regular 90 minutes. Our keeper must have gone the wrong way on at least 40 of them. Its beyond embarrassing.

Clarke showed his inexperience being caught on the wrong side of the player and trying to make a challenge when it was clear the Swansea player was going to fall down at any opportunity but he made it worse by his puppy dog longing look at the referee giving the referee a decision to make instead of just playing on as if nothing had happened. Clarke's reaction made the situation far worse

Yeah, maybe put up and accept it but not endorse. The language used, the word endorse, is my issue. Thats a lot of reply. Look, No fan or Supporter of Modern Football should complain about cheating, regardless of whether they contribute financially or not. They surely, by now know it is an “accepted” (by the authorities) method of gaining an advantage in the sport. Agreed? To that end, you know before the match that it is an accepted method of gaining an advantage and winning matches. Nothing is done post incident to punish the act, thus it is inevitable. So why the outrage? I don’t get it. You won’t change anything by your outrage. It is now part of the game. That’s why many people have rejected professional football in favour of watching local football only. Be outraged at the incompetency of the referee but not the act of diving or cheating.
