    Only saving grace is that we have 6 days until our next game. Some time for Ralph to work on things on the training pitch.

    I think it is fair enough to criticise Ralph right now, No I don't want him sacked... But he just isn't getting it right atm... we look a shambles when we concede... one goal from open play in 10 games... Sat what you want about the officials but.rhe problem doesn't stem with them..

    Yep, I agree, but jeez ralph needs to work on **** when it's not going our way, and that is part of his job. I totally agree on the confidence draining, coming from the officials dishonesty, but time to earn your corn Ralph.

    Basically neither pens, but if you give one, you have to give the other especially as Ryan’s was point blank and the other was a lofted ball that he had plenty of time to get out of the way

    We would have had about 4 more goals if the referees could use their eyes.
    2 against villa, 1 against united and 2 today. So I’m fact it’s actually a 5 goal swing LOL

    Such a good first half. Wolves showed their quality in the second half when they let Traore play in a free role.

    Nevertheless the penalty deflated the players who were clearly upset for the rest of the game.

    McCoist and Shearer's comments after the game were spot on: "crazy", "ruining football", "depressing" and "inconsistent".

    Anyone questioning Ralph’s position (not talking you, but the idiots on FB) should question Klopp’s too. Same ****, different club. Them losing three in a row is the equivalent of us losing six. If they don’t think Klopp should be sacked, they should shut up about Ralph.

    Yes, the first half showed what we do well and the second half showed up our fragile confidence due to recent results. It will turn around and at least we don't have so much pressure on us this season and there is still the cup thank god!.

    I agree about VAR, if it is not going to be consistent and be prone to human error as the onfield officials then there is no point to it and it just adds another layer of scrutiny and controversy from everybody.

    That’s as close to not doing an interview as you’ll get these days. Well done Ralph.

    Yea and no on re same as Klopp. He has delivered champs League and EPL, so has a tonne more credit in the bank.

    Also, i couldnt give a toss about Klopp or Pool, I'm pissed off right now, more than I've been for a while, and actually need a break from the EPL.

    Think I will watch the cup game, but I think I'll not be watching anymore Prem games, even ours. I've reached my limit.
