Something like, 'You're Premier League players. Now go back out and start playing like Premier League players.' And quite possibly not that politely.I would love to know what was said at halftime. I don't get the impression that Andoni is one to be irate (lol) but today I wonder. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that Christie had something to say, either.
It was a deliberate and calculated act of gamesmanship. Credit to the officials for working as a team so he could at least be warned about it.A little off topic but I haven’t seen it discussed, I initially felt a little sad at the abuse Bego was getting from our fans. Then he did some shithousery with a spare ball on the pitch to try and disrupt our attack, he knew what he was doing, and from then I stopped feeling sad.

Stood in the away end at half time I always thought we’re going to win thisYes I would at full time as AI's tacticle nouse got us out of a very deep hole indeed and full credit to him. At half time I was absolutely correct.

He hasn’t scored since august but our ineptitude made him look like a real player. I like Senesi but, for someone with the nickname gladiator, he seems to struggle in a physical battle.Wouldn't want Armstrong. Can't even knee slide without getting injured.
I thought she did an excellent job. Stayed well out of the way, gave cards that were reasonable. I watched her first EPL match (at Fulham?) and she was the same there. Better than many of the other EPL refs, I think.Any thoughts about the performance of the referee? I thought she had excellent game and clearly wanted to let the game flow wherever she could. Fifteen minutes before the first free kick. What other refs might have seen as fouls and blown up, she was seeing as robust but fair challenges. For example the way Billing won the ball in the build up to our third goal.
This seems quite likely. He probably needs to be somewhere else.Is the last we will see of Chris mepham, who has been vocal about needing more game time
Most of the refs in the EPL like to show they are in charge. She just went about her job.I thought she did an excellent job. Stayed well out of the way, gave cards that were reasonable.

What did she book Billing for?I thought she did an excellent job. Stayed well out of the way, gave cards that were reasonable. I watched her first EPL match (at Fulham?) and she was the same there. Better than many of the other EPL refs, I think.
I never thought we were going to lose that game at any time ,Not at half time I didn't. The people that thought we would turn the game around at half are in a distinct minority. The ones that stated we would are bare faced liars as there was no evidence in the first half to prove this.
AI is a masterclass at changing things when they need to be changed, so well done to him.
Card waving.(Unsportsmanlike conduct)What did she book Billing for?
Yes.Well, my initial post was just a throwaway remark and I've no idea how good or bad Armstrong really is as I've only seen him the once but I just think he's a big unit and seemed a real handful so who knows how good/bad he might be under a decent coach. You apparently seem pretty confident that he's sh1t. Does that mean you're one of the forum's so- called experts?
Try telling that to the moron behind me who insisted on calling her a "dozy bitch"I thought she did an excellent job. Stayed well out of the way, gave cards that were reasonable. I watched her first EPL match (at Fulham?) and she was the same there. Better than many of the other EPL refs, I think.
You’re a prophet Brian. You do know that don’t you?Wow that went well....Up for the Cup !
That 'ol weakened team strategy eh...
Best I button it though...second half subs should sort it !
How old were you when you were on the Titanic BrianThis has been a quite pleasurable day all things considered.
The Cherries stretched our patience a bit and our emotions....with two very different halves of football.....against old foes QPR....who stole our promotion at the death in 1948 with a 1 - 0 win at Dean Court in a dramatic scenario in front of a huge post - war crowd..and had the reputation of our bogey team for a number of years....with Cherries fans who have largely departed Earth.
The rivalry was quite intense as those old Cherries would relay to us kids !
Their history has been similar to ours on the achievement front albeit slightly better with a League cup win as an old Div 3 club and a couple of high placed finishes in the old Div I....and a previous FA Cup win v Boscombe in 67....which we have now avenged..
QPR...one of the more friendly and modest clubs generally..so I hope they stay up this year.
