Totally agree. Embarrassing and unnecessary. Makes us every bit as classless and stupid as Birmingham, which I hoped I'd never have to say. Thankfully not many joined in, it was just the usual meatheads who can't wait to have a go at our own fans if the atmosphere dips.

Not just that, I'd like to think any player playing at this elite level while observing Ramadan fasting deserves huge credit and support. Had the club communicated it I'd think Adams and any of the other players on the pitch would have received an excellent reception on resumption on the game.  
Instead, everyone around me at first thought the keeper was playing up again or something. Didn't take long for the penny to drop, but could have been far better managed by the club.

Yeah I get all that, but can't we be a bit better? Maybe I'm being a snowflake!!

Great points. There is no way the referee could see whether Gayle handled it because Gayle had his back to him. The assistant was on the other side so couldn't have seen it. They both saw Gayle get to the ball first and be taken down, so it was the sensible decision.
I loved the comedy VAR call and subsequent hands on head meltdown by their keeper.
Perhaps rather than moan at the officials, he shouldn't be rushing out of his goal and giving the referee a decision to make?

1Wildsmith 6 nowt to do 
35Nelson 7 nice and solid
5Bradley 6 good game, nearly gifted PV a goal at the end
6Cashin 7 good game though not really tested 
23Ward 7.5 much more like it 
8Bird 6 didn’t really drive the team forward against poor opposition 
32Adams 6 not as involved as in recent games 
4Hourihane 6
17Sibley 7.5 two good goals and attacked well, second half particularly 
11Méndez-Laing 5 seems out of form atm
27Blackett-Taylor 6
25Gayle 7 good movement, good goal, if we got him proper service he could be the difference
10Waghorn 6
7Barkhuizen 6 influential in the build up to both goals, but otherwise largely anonymous. Not sure what his role was.
12Smith 6

Which is fine, yet plenty think it would be. I'm one of them, but I'm not going to slaughter Warne as it's not really in my nature plus there are parts of it all which are ok. There's plenty he's done right this season.
Tbh, when we've lost, even by the time I've made a 10 minute walk back to the car I'm over it. It doesn't bother me that much, and neither do I get over excited when we win (though obviously that's my preference), which is probably why I place more importance of enjoying the game I'm watching as I've given up most of my day to go.

Who will win? The team that folds like a pack of cards when they go 1-0 down or the team that folds like a pack of cards when they go 1-0 up?

He's genuinely a nice guy who cares passionately about what his is doing and trying to achieve. He's very popular around the club with the staff. He's a good ambassador for the club and supports the work of the Community Trust. I like that about him regardless of my opinion of him as a football manager.
