DO WE AGREE WITH THIS BOURNEMOUTH FAN?
SaintMike Thu 30 Sep 2010, 12:14 am
On the Echo website a Bournemouth fan (allegedly) has said......
'When Saints lose football games, its due to dodgy referees or pitches.
You need to take a good hard look at yourselves, just maybe youre not good enough to get out of this division in the next couple of years.'
Any truth in it??

Dont remember Sainst claiming they have lost many games due to dodgy refs, the standard of referees in Div 1 is poor to say the least but they are bad for both teams. The pitches havent helped our style when we try to pass the ball but even AP recognised need to deal with it and Adkins will sort out.
Fans may claim all sorts of excuses but so does every fan from every club, ever listened to Solent and the Bournemouth fans moaning if they don't win, some slag off Howe as getting his tactics wrong, they will miss him when he's gone!
Reason didn't go up last year was a simple 10 point deduction plus no manager until 5 weeks before season started. For this season lets see where we finish, I have every confidence we will make play offs and go up via that route. Just a shame wont be at Wembley next year, think its Old Trafford.

We have our whingers, all teams do even Chelski and ManU, but when they've lost, the Bournemouth fans moan with the best of them. Last season, whenever the Cherries lost, their fans clogged the Solent text system with whingeing about how Howe is tacticallty naive, and how they're not going to get promoted.
The refs are utter crap in this division - a Daggers-supporting acquaintance said he was looking forward to better reffing in this division, I said 'Don't bank on it, they're still crap'. The only good thing about the refs is that they are consistently crap and spread this crapness around equally.

Good spot Bobs your Uncle. As I said in my match report, Bournemouth played a very physical game, tactics perhaps thinking we could be out muscled, but if you play that game a ref will end up giving decisions against you. See he forgot to mention the decision pulling back Puncheon when clean through on goal "every decision went against us"!
