I wonder how Tan will react if we are relegated by a point or two
He likes a law suit and I wonder what he thinks about the Chelsea result and how if that if we had got the three points we would have stayed up?
He seems to have been quite quiet about it

The day clubs start trying to sue referees/football authorities/whoever over honest mistakes is the day I jack in football.
The continued reaction over that Chelsea offside is ott. The way the players were moving, it was far from obvious.
And completely ignores Chelsea scored another one afterwards

And your summary of the match completely ignores a lot of other events - most of which wrongly favoured Chelsea (as a very big majority of neutral commentators have said).
I think it is fine for Warnock to continue to drop the Chelsea game into interviews - especially as he is often replying to direct questions. It isn't as if it is the main story. It is just an illustration of the fine margins and some bad calls that have contributed to (but don't explain) our league position. I hope and expect that it will get its' own chapter when The Gaffer is updated and reprinted.

I don't agree. That offside was the worst obviously wrong decision I've seen this season and, with our manager unable to comment on it now because he'd likely get another FA charge thrown at him, I think supporters should keep it up there as a discussion point - the sort of stark ineptitude shown by two of the officials that day should have no place in a League which sells itself as being the best in the world.
Chelsea may have gone on to score if their equaliser had been disallowed, but I think it could be argued at least as strongly that City players would have had a second wind from the relief of seeing it ruled out which could have taken them through the short period which remained - they had kept Chelsea out by fair means for eighty four minutes after all and it needed foul means to breach their defence.
Also, while you say people who keep on about the goal are completely ignoring the one that came after it, aren't you completely ignoring the argument that says Chelsea would have been less likely to push as many men forward as they did for their winner if Pawson hadn't blundered yet again when Rudiger was allowed to stay on the pitch?
I should say as well mind that I definitely wouldn't want to see the club take the matter to the Courts.

If we're going to be retrospective, then shouldn't we take everything into account, like poor defending, missed opportunities, maybe not getting the correct players in and not being good enough-If we go down-We will never know, but i'd bet that as professionals the players wont be harking on about the Chelsea game, if they're true to their trade then they'll look at themselves and take responsibility, same goes for Warnock, whatever he says infront of the Camera, Players quite simply aren't like alot of supporters who are emotively involved (nothing wrong with that) and look at isolated incidents, sometimes in order to justify the real reasons. Yes we got done against Chelsea, but in my opinion it serves little purpose in looking back at it unless we do the same with every other incident that has effected our season.

Of course anyone could look at every possible situation that may have impacted on any game and you would probably say that most games should end 0-0.
A lot of things have been inside our control and we have been good, but maybe not good enough.
However there have been extraordinary events that have seriously affected our season that were outside our control. The loss of Sala is obvious.
Then some of the most ludicrous officiating known to humanity, so close to the end of the season has a huge impact.
If we are within 2 points from safety at the end of the season, most reasonable people would agree that the Chelsea will have cost us our Premier league status.

I think Warnock and media should continue to bring it up.
It is not the reason why we may end up relegated but at least we should continue to put the FA under pressure so these particular individuals do not continue to officiate in the Premier league.
In that way it will be very clear what their employers opinion of them is.
Managers are continually fined for saying anything derogatory after the game, however, referees are never required to provide justification for some of their blatant decisions

You don’t believe the FA will actually do anything about inept officials, do you? They like the media are only interested in the so called big Clubs, Man City, Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham. They will do sweet FA, pardon the pun.

I'm with you regarding honest mistakes, but that Chelsea offside decision was so bad that it makes you wonder why the linesman made that decision. Chelsea won't be complaining though, as finishing 4th is worth tens of millions to them.

Did you see the Leeds penalty that wasn't awarded earlier this evening? If so, what did you make of it?

I'm guessing that, like most of the people in the ground and those of us watching on TV, he didn't spot it.

What do you expect? Its the same ref who blows up as Sol Bamba is sticking the ball in the net. The useless tw@t said he couldn't see him. Yeah 6 6 Sol Bamba in a bright yellow or whatever horrible colour our away top is.
What was funny just before they went to slow mo they said maybe Stroud was unsighted. They then showed the clown yards away with a perfect view.

Honest mistakes are harder to come to terms with when you've skin in the game.. Just have to accept it happens to everyone at some point and move on.. there's no grand conspiracy against us, although I can understand yourself in particular taking comfort from thinking there is.. Roll on VAR I say, although we likely won't have the benefit of it ourselves next season.

Very poor refereeing. It was about as blatant a penalty as you're likely to see and Stroud was looking right at it. Abysmal decision.
Apparently, there's a Premier League referee who couldn't see Bamba taking his shirt off.

Re: I wonder how Tan will react if we are relegated by a point or two
If we go down, it won’t be because of any of the games against the top 6, it will be because we couldn’t beat Huddersfield (twice) or Burnley at home, along with a few other results. We simply haven’t scored enough goals.

This is true, but hard to blame the club when we made an exceptional signing to address that..

May be wrong but im sure West Brom got about 11 points v the top 6 last season.
We are probably going to be 5 or 6 short.
0 points v the top 6 doesmt help.

I get what you’re saying but in our case, we were never going to get that kind of points haul against the top 6, whereby we should have been able to beat Huddersfield.

Sue the bastards
The Burnley game was worse than the Chelsea game for refereeing errors.

West Brom were not odds on to go down at the beginning of last season. We've still exceeded expectations and barring the first couple of months when we looked lost it's been a bloody good effort.

In answer to the original question Tan will probably be wishing he'd backed the manager more in the summer transfer window.

Not sure about that.
Saturdays line up had 9 of last years regulars. Plus Camarasa a successful loan and Niasse who hasnt scored.
Meanwhile Reid Murphy Cunningham Smithies at a cost of around 30m on the bench.
He may be questioning have we spent well.

And yet, Fulham spent far, far more and haven't a single signing that made any impact whatsoever.. Huddersfield spent close to £30M on a centre back and striker from Monaco, both shite. Brighton spent over £75M - Name one of them. There's not a high success rate with signings when you're of our stature in this league.. we did alright in context.
EDIT: **OK Mitrovic is good**

Re: I wonder how Tan will react if we are relegated by a point or two
Reid and Murphy are young and will improve although in this league they offer nothing defensibly .Cunningham and Smithies will replace Bennett and Etheridge who will be sold if we go down'
The 5 year contract for Bacuna well you've got me beat there,
30 million quid in this league is peanuts

How did we do alright? None of them can get in the team?!?!?
Just because Fulham pissed 100m up the wall it doesn’t make our 30-35m any less of a waste.

I think it's about £70m less of a waste.
