@fisherjon10: Decent performance in isolation. Not that it matters. Referee beyond a farce. Not that it matters

@DanielJenks89: 45 down, 1 to go in this miserable season. Can’t wait for 14:30 next Sunday

@samuelcotterill: Dropped 9 points from winning positions in our last 4 games

@StuartKirk15: Might already have been relegated but can’t help but think we have been robbed by the ref.

@lee_willingale: That referee was an embarrassment tonight

@RamseySAFC: Absolutely Robbed.

@_GraemeAtkinson: Despite failings at the club on every level the referees have really added to our woes this season. Last two games have seen a penalty not given, a goal against us allowed despite being offside and a goal disallowed for an infringement that wasn’t there

@VotingRed: Not gonna criticise that performance. If Fulham are best form team in Championship then there’s some crap in the league.

@rstaincliffe1: Cannot see us keeping Asoro or McNair next season

@durhamchris1983: Well that was a pitiful 2nd half by Sunderland. Zero intent in wanting to get forward even when 2-1. Very negative tactics
