       hi,
       faultless 1st half display from team ref which has been played
       almost exclusively in southampton's half [emoji15] it's almost a
       case of attack vs defence - perhaps that's what the 'performance
       analysist' observed on thursday morning [emoji6] it's got saints
       1-0 written all over this [emoji16]
       regards,
       gnr

       Yep, I would agree with all of that. As good a performance as
       Ward last evening.
       A nice relief for the appointing officers seeing both playoff
       games passing by with the minimum of controversy.

       No controversy on the pitch at least.
       Certainly some off it relating to today’s game.

       Good job, thought Southampton keeper must have been on his radar
       first half, otherwise managed occasion well.
       See what happens off the field now…
