After Sunderland game, CR was the new Messiah and fast forward a few games, he's become a pariah in the eyes of the same people! Give me a break! When Furlong was given his debut, OMG it's like there is no manager as good as CR because he's blooded a youngster. And now he's being criticized that is it the right time to gamble with kids! Hypocrisy at its best to say the least!
He's making mistakes, but what did you expect? Did you expect someone with zero managerial experience fighting a relegation battle with a squad that not only lacks quality, balance but also is decimated by injury, suspension etc. would play his cards like a seasoned pro? CR is doing what a novice would do, making mistakes but what's more important is whether or not he's learning from his mistakes.
Making a sub in the 93rd minute when your team is losing a game was nothing short of joke as all it did was wasted a few more seconds. But I didn't expect too much from CR, so I won't be calling for his head based on this decision.
Having said all, the over-reliance on Bobby needs to stop. He should be used as a plan B. Plan A has to be based on intelligent movements in and around the box not just lumping a hopeful ball to Bobby. Players like Austin, Vargas, Zarate etc. are good enough to to trouble defenses with their movements. And play Phillips where he did so well in the past couple of weeks, why change it if it's not broken?
Says the right things but actions speak louder than words. Not got the minerals for such a big position.
No point changing now. We're doomed. Harry left us with to much to do & Ramsey is picking up the pieces, but blooding youngsters in a relegation fight, and playing them over proven internationals is a big mistake for me.
End of season let him go back to his development role and get a proven manager in.

But I'm saying its football Nasser you get wrong decisions and you get right ones you play the game and situation which presents itself. By your logic you could unpick every single game and say we should not have lost or conceded cause there has been a mistake from the ref earlier in the game
There has been times we will have benefited from poor decisions rightly or wrongly it's part and parcel of the game
Think its laughable that the same lot come out with the same #### blaming everything but the tean for losing. Our players make to many mistakes and we concede goals. Our players dont take their chances and we dont score enough goals. We lose games because of this. We get no points because of this. We go down because of this.
Ok firstly, you don't ever see a case where 3 stonewall penalties aren't given, 1 red card, 1 dived free kick resulting in an offside goal are all not given to one team. That isn't football period. The fact is that today we got screwed by the ref and everyone knows it. Maybe if it was one decision its fine but the fact is that isla would have scored if Lloris didn't foul him, Austin would have scored if Bentaleb didn't block it with his hand, the second probably wouldn't have happened if Mason had been sent off and we probably would have been 2 - 0 up by half time with a bit of fair decision making and some luck. That is what I feel we deserved from this one. Getting all of this wrong is not, nor should it ever be part and parcel with the game.
Just forwarded this post to Richard Scudamore and he says fairs fair and has awarded us the 3 points because the ref had a bad game...hold on no he didnt he said #### off "its football" and laughed his #### off.
Agree,that is why he has never managed. Also the appointment of Les Ferdinpand is very questionable. His handling of signings at deadline held us back. A couple of reasobabke signings and I beleive we would of been alright. Tony is a fool. No, a big fool.

The trouble is there is no consistency in the decisions and far too many decisions are wrong and very often major point of the game
Since HR left. Chris ramsey has had us playing attacking football ,for one reason or another ,not lack of effort , results havnt gone our way ,Wednesday we deserved at least a draw ,today we p issed the first half ,then should have had two penalties , s hits not going our way,we ARE still on the right the right track with Ramsey ..
Keep the Faith

I agree Bill but its the same for every team. See it week in and week out. People clinging to the fact we are hard done by and we deserve the 3 points are deluded because its the same for everyone. There is no vendetta against us. We didnt get the 3 points and we needed them. Move on and hope we can get them against Palace.

The referee or the manager didn't ask Rob to make such a blunder neither did they ask Charlie to miss an open net or Hoilett to blast it over the bar from 5-yards out.
You can't blame referee, luck or manager for that matter if Caulker is an accident waiting to happen, if Rio blows hot and cold, if Bobby can't keep possession for 50% of the time, if Charlie misses open net (okay he normally scores but the one he missed today could very well have changed the outcome of the game), if Hoilett can't deliver a decent ball to save his life, if after alomst two-thirds of season half of the squad is still unfit and if half of squad is at best Championship quality.

Tony had a lot better chance of staying up this time than last time with a couple of signings. Tony's problem is his listens and believes too much in the people around, Hughes, Redcrapp and now Les, from this his direction of of the club is bad.
