16.27 GOALLLLL!!! Bazza Hayles meets a cross from Fabrice Fernandes and it's 2-1 to Fulham.
16.24 Oh yes Hughes is off for his second yellow so Pompey are down to 9 men. Live by the sword and die by the sword. Pompey are a disgrace.
16.23 Well when the game is over the Ref will need to have a word with Pompey because they have exposed the inherent unfairness of Ref decisions against Fulham.
16.21 Owww Bazza Hayles jinks back and forward on the edge of the penalty area and he crosses to Saha in the area. Saha rises to strike the ball but just wide.
16.18 In amongst all the bad behaviour of Pompey team and their fans Fulham try to mount and attack. But Pompey are desperately defending
16.17 Fulham sub Bjarne Goldbaek with Luis Boa Morte
16.17 Now the Pompey fans are throwing bottles and coins at the Ref and Maik Taylor
16.12 At the moment the game is all about bad behaviour of Pompey players. Hughes should of got a second yellow and be the second Pompey player to be sent off but the Ref has bottled it.
Then Claridge the so called player manager has been shouting and argueing with the crowd in the enclosure.
16.09 At last the Ref has done his job and Primus of Portsmouth has got a second yellow for a bad foul on Saha and off he goes.
CHEERIO, CHEERIO,CHEERIO,
16.08 Pompey send the ball in but Maik Taylor is up to it
16.07 What is this Ref doing? He has yellow carded for something that the Pompey players are ggetting away without even a talking to.
16.07 Portsmouth get a free kick off a low level foul by Goldbaek.
16.05 Off we go again and virtually immediately Bazza Hayles is hacked and all the Ref does is talk to the player. When is he going to book one of them and get the game on an proper basis.
First half Fulham dominated the first half once Bazza Hayles scored in the 11th minute.
Portsmouth have been playing very physically albeit the Referee has let them off cards which they deserved.
In the last minute of the half Claridge equalised for Portsmouth leaving Fulham with it all to do again.
