To play devils advocate........ during that 1st 30 mins Meslier didn't have a save to make & we actually had the best chances. (Ok chance.) The same was true in the 1st 30 mins v Arse. In both cases we then lost really unfortunate goals featuring pretty poor refereeing.......and after that we were toast. But if those 2 refs had done their jobs and we'd made it to ht at 0 0 or even 1 0 up........
