Fulham v Sheffield United - Sunday
It is difficult to decide what was worse, Sheffield
United, the Ref or Fulham. Yesterday's rain, despite overnight covers left the
pitch soft and soggy. We were not able to move the ball as sweetly as
we have and with Sheffield United game plan of putting an assassin each of our
midfielders and strikers the game was a poor show to put before the paying spectators
and Sky viewers.
The Ref provided the visitors with the usual assistance turning a blind eye
to tackles from behind, shirt pulling on strikers and the worst exhibition of
time wasting seen at Craven Cottage for some time. Two Sheffield United players
got upset with each other and had a punch up in front of every one. What did
the Ref do? He waved to the Sheffield United bench to sub one of the players
who had already been yellow carded and that was the end of it!!!! The Ref did
not ensure a draw but he did not do a good job and was keen to give Sheffield
United more benefit of the doubt than Fulham.
We had two chances in the second half from KarlHeinz Riedle and
Luis boa Morte that might have gone in on another day but the smaller than normal
crowd was virtually silent as it shuffled out into a grey damp winter Sunday
evening in West London.
The Mighty Whites are 10 points clear with 16 games to go COME ON YOU WHITES
First Division - Saturday
Birmingham and Watford won their Saturday games but Bolton, West Brom and
Blackburn all drew so not an unpleasant set of results for Fulham.
Say ... We are top of Division
One after nearly two thirds of the campaign, have lost only three games, have
the best goal difference in Western European football and have the leading scorer
of the Premier and Nationwide leagues.
