Stop obfuscating

Pau doesn’t concede for 125 mins

I’m saying that’s unusual.

Are you saying that’s not unusual??

They rotational fouled Ramsey who I thought was very unlucky to be sent off. I wonder if the ref forgot he’d already booked him That melee in the first half was because of a quite nasty foul on Ramsey. Martinez got booked for being Martinez. I think the ref forgot he was our captain at that point and was entitled to talk to the ref.

My thoughts exactly at the time. Really bad reffing.

He'd booked Asensio for fuck all then five minutes later Semenyo carted Ramsey from behind when he had 30 yards of space in front of him and the ref did nothing, Asensio was pointing it out to him.
Brooks had knocked it out when he sent Ramsey off as well, Atwell is a fucking batch munching, inbred Nuneaton prick.

Referees a wanker.

[Crown Hill]

Yep Warwickshire refs shouldn’t ref Warwickshire Clubs! Silly they ever changed that rule!

I’m saying what matters is that in the last 125 minutes he’s been on the pitch we haven’t conceded and really that’s all that matters. Or more importantly, we’ve won both games and probably don’t need to worry about what it means in terms of one player or another. The squad is doing very well as a collective.

Out of interest, and I don’t know. Out of Mings and Torres, who concedes more per minute?

We got away with after Mings went off , again the defence was all over the place . Brilliant save from Martinez and then an astonishing goal line clearance kept us the 3 points . Mings must be carrying an injury as the substitution made zero sense and put us into real danger of losing points .

Let’s just pray that Mings is available for the next two games and then stays with us over the summer.

Mings carrying a knock could also explain his absences in the last few weeks.

I think he is injured to be honest and that might be his season over .

Can we be clear, Cash did not make a clearance.  It was given as a goal kick.  Jebbison was hampered by Cash, but he headed the ball over the bar.  Good covering by Cash in all fairness but he did not touch the ball. Watched it several times on Sky and it is clear.

Yes, starts to make sense now , such a shame he wasn't available v palace and PSG and C115y away .

I don’t think we’ve limited Bournemouth as much as we did today in previous performances. Great tactical set up. We looked to have purposefully gone with a lot of ball carriers and it worked. They rotational fouled Ramsey who I thought was very unlucky to be sent off. I wonder if the ref forgot he’d already booked him That melee in the first half was because of a quite nasty foul on Ramsey. Martinez got booked for being Martinez.

Cash was great today. Ollie looked over the moon about becoming our record premier league scorer and I was glad for him. Midfield was awesome. Strange one on Mings if he wasn’t injured.

I've no problem with Martinez taking a yellow in those circumstances. He's our captain today and that was a bad foul on JJ. Martinez was in the zone today I thought, made lots of good decisions.

[Lsvilla]

I was in the hospitality section and Mings was limping and stretching out for several minutes before he actually got subbed. Clearly struggling. But immense with it.

Well it isn't all Pau is it, there are 11 members of a team, with at least 7 normally tasked to defend when the opposition has the ball. But you only have to look to April where the team with Pau in stopped Brighton from scoring then didn't concede until the 40th minute against PSG.
