This is what I would say: We lost the match which was annoying. or We lost the match and that was annoying, |

Both are correct, but relative pronoun "which" is better. I contributed some relative pronouns worksheets studying deeply about this. you can find out this grammar point. Hope it can be useful for you. Have a good time! |

We lost the match, which was annoying. You can �t use �that � unless you add �and � as Apodo says. |

Which was annoying, the match or losing the match?

Yes, Douglas is saying that if the match itself was annoying, then "that" is the correct choice, but that is definitely unlikely. As Lynne, showed, the comma is necessary. We lost the match, which was annoying. Bruce |

That = the match was annoying. It identifies the match (because there were many).
Which = losing was annoying. It identifies the cause of your feeling.
And, yes, the comma is definitely needed.
