    Completely agree with what he was saying.

    Even managers are starting to speak out about the poor decision making by the referees. 

    And for what its worth, i think its a foul by Barry.

    I don't think it was tbh mate. The def should have stood tall, as was said by the Scottish muppet. I liken it to charging in basketball, take the hit and get the foul, buckle and you have to accept it, imo.

    opinions aint it, for me he leans on him, hangs on his back, the defender could jump IF he isnt hanging all over him but he cant. Imo of course.

    Besides that Reading should have had a pen too. Its bollix.

    If the def had had any positional sense in the slightest he'd have known what was coming, stood tall and taken the hit. I think I know what happened in his mind at that moment as I've been there. You've not paid enough attention to what's around you and the moment that a player, you have no idea as to where they are, gives you no time to react and you end up bent over like a bit.ch because you had no clue he was coming. I hate to say it but it's a situation John Terry, in particular, and other top defenders don't do. They've read the game, know what's coming and get the decision because of it.
