Wilson is rightly disappointed over penalty decision

We all hope that the officials get things right in games and if anything favour your team, but there are games where as a fan you just feel you are not getting a fair deal and Callum Wilson's fury at not being awarded a penalty for Luke Shaw's antics in the box was rightly felt. Eddie Howe commented after the game that you need those big decisions to go for you in these games. A penalty and a red card would have been a big ticket towards a point for the Cherries or something even better.

Wilson was clearly held back by Luke Shaw's challenge.

The fast-pace of the game is making it difficult for officials to be on top of everything and while I am sure they want to be objective and give fair decisions, the big teams are likely to be seen as teams benefiting most from close calls, because they have stayed at the top year after year. If decisions don't go for your team they don't tend to stay at the top very long. So perhaps we should not be surprised that it takes a lot of luck to get penalties against some of the top teams.

Bournemouth wanted to score goals, but they wanted to achieve goals in other ways rather than relying on a decision for a spot kick. But this was an infringement that was something that you would have hoped the assistant referee would have picked up on from his angle. When keepers and defenders go down the whistle soon comes to their rescue, but for strikers there is less room for officials to be brave. You need brave officials, but you can't rely on getting them in games where they are most needed.

The incident in this match could have changed the whole outcome of the game, but we'll never know and in an instance the match had the route back for AFCB removed. Wilson will have hoped he'd have made just the merest of contact on the ball, as it was such a good delivery.

It won't do Bournemouth any good though to mull on this one decision too long. They have to focus on the next game and how they can still make a difference to their season. Wilson can feel rightly aggrieved but that's all he can get out of the situation.

Are you excited about a pre-season Southampton derby?

While Southampton are now a strong Premiership side with a fantastic squad I can't help but think that this friendly would have been much more exciting had it been one of last year's pre-season friendlies. My reasoning is simply that despite just having one of the most successful seasons in their history there is rather a lot of changes going on at St Marys.

Gone is their striking talisman Rickie Lambert to Liverpool, who is lighting up England's World Cup warm ups and gone is the inspirational and tactical genius of Mauricio Pochettino to Spurs. Their biggest star of all though, Adam Lallana is surely also on his way to Liverpool this summer while Luke Shaw is expected to head to the Red Devils. So does what is left of the squad get AFCB fans excited enough to fill out Dean Court on a Friday night in July?

To be fair I believe it will depend more on who the Cherries can sign before that date. If Eddie Howe adds two or three players to the Dan Gosling signing then I expect it will be a good match to attend as the club will only just have returned form its summer training camp abroad and it is likely that Eddie will field his strongest team which is perhaps less likely against Salisbury and Dorchester.

The Southampton game will be a good indication for AFCB though to see how far behind another top Premiership they are having already played Liverpool at home in the FA Cup. Not being in the same division as the Saints doesn't make me yearn to play them though. I may be in a minority over that but the Swansea would seem more appealing to me. As usual people will pick and choose their games.
