Yup, it is disgraceful: a moderator should not allow posts like that on the BBC.

properly was the moderator himself post it

I’ve just posted it on the match thread but look at the state of this on the BBC website match text commentary. I cannot get my head around how this has been allowed. Shocking.

And we pay our license fee for that shit?

Good grief, bizarre match and what looks like an easy 5-2 win doesn't tell half the story.
Nonsensical penalty decision, or rather non-penalty awards for 1) blatant hand push on KDB then ankle breaker challenge from the GK on Foden. If Laporte tugs their guy and its a pen then so is KDB's.
Moss is a pathetic excuse for a referee. Plus the tit looking at the VAR decision....astonishing incompetence.
Right....
Some pretty poor showings tonight yet we win 5-2, tells us that the guys upfront were very good and the guys behind them were distinctly meh at times...
What is up with Laporte? Making some ridiculous decisions on the pitch. Used to be so reliable.
Mahrez won that for us out of the blue with some magic.
It would be nice if Ederson could actually save a penalty, especially since we concede so many. Never mind taking them Eddy, try saving them instead.
Some really sloppy stuff in midfield at times.
I know it sounds churlish when we have just scored 5 but better teams will punish us more for some of the sloppiness that went on this evening.

I can only recall Eddie saving one penalty, a few years ago at Palace in the game Kevin got a bad injury. Considering all the pens we give away he has had loads of practice at trying to save them.

Souness also said in regards to var not giving a penalty for the foul on Foden, perhaps those at Stockley Park were taking a toilet break.

A game of absolute contrasts ...for large parts of the first half we were just awful to a man (even enderson) - we couldnt string two passes together and then ended up 1-0 up (great pass by Dias i think to zinchenko)

A stupid error by Laporte for the penalty to make it 1-1- and then up until KDB and Mahrez combined to make it 2-1, Southampton were more than matching us...and upto that point KDB (goal aside) and Mahrez had both been woeful.

The second half we were much better for periods of the the game.
Worryingly, we looked wide open through midfield and again Im not sure if KDB is part of that problem....

On the flip side we scored some great goals and Foden was instrumental again and at Sergio got some mins in...he needs more. butt he snap shot at the near post is a reminder of what he can do

Do wonder what got up Ederson's nose so much from Betrand?

Was Redmond I think , he called him something for sure but I can't lip read unfortunately.

Martial v Saints, blatantly dives at 6-0, instead of being booked gets a penalty and the defender is red carded.
City v Saints, Foden blatantly fouled at 1-1, tries to stay on his feet, gets fuck all.
I smell a rat...

The **** sat in the var shed should be fucking asked on tv why they didn’t think it was a penalty. Until that happens these cheats will continue to fuck us over.

Statement released, Some codswallop about the ref thinking their keeper got a hand on it, so didnt see anything to disprove that view. Totally bizarre

 

[OntarioBlue]

If I’m being completely honest the score flatters us. Apart from a brilliant 15 minutes in the second half we weren’t that great. Still, it’s all about the points at the moment.

Jon Moss must be the worst referee ever. A total disgrace to the game.

F'ing Messi!!!

Eddy was off the boil tonight but the conditions made for a game riddled with errors at leas that is my excuse.
