I've said a lot of times I thought it was a red, live. But after seeing the challenges on us that go scott free. It's just really winding me up. They can actually hurt and risk ending careers. But that's fine. A Norwich player slid in thin air and that's so much more dangerous. 3 game ban.
Ok last post from me on subject. Any tackle can cause significant injury, football after all is a contact sport, but the type of tackle Buendia tried, has been particularly identify as been of a type where the outcome is very likely to result in significant injury, which is why for some time now the penalty for using it is a red card & 3 match ban. Buendia got what he deserved, which is what you would be saying if someone had tried that tackle on Buendia or another Norwich player. The rights or wrongs of any other decision taken against offending players in any other circumstances are irrelevant to the Buendia decision.
I am saying that about tackles against us. That's the whole point I've been making. They haven't got a red, or sometimes, not even a foul. I keep saying I agree with what you say. But apply that to every club and player. Players who do what Emi did but made contact got away with it. So why did a player who didn't make contact is the only one to get banned for 3 games.
I agree that it doesn't seem that Buendia (& JM last season) gets much protection from the officials and in the games I've seen Buendia seems to get fouled more times than he commits fouls. I'm sure supporters of other teams would have similar moans. I think I'm right to say that card wise we haven't received very many, perhaps cause Tettey hasn't played as much. I don't know about outside the box, but maybe inside the box teams are less concerned about fouling us cause they know we can't score from penalties.
I remember George Best being mercilessly hacked by an opposing player whose name fails me. Instead of retaliating he picked the ball up and handed it to him. Crowd lived it.
Anyone been on to the Binners league one (1) forum to have a consoling word with our blue and white country cousins?
If you're going to go, may as well go in style. When they next start banging on about their history, this season will surely be a blank page?
We're NEVER going to get consistency in refereeing. Even in the Under 23 game last night, the referee was penalising NCFC players much more than Boro players Edit - Getting back on track. Right, we JUST need to win by 3 or 4 goals tomorrow and we’ll then only need 6 points to virtually GUARANTEE promotion .
Just saw this as a reason Ipswich were relegated from The BBC website ‘characterised by having a watertight transfer budget, bringing in players on frees or using his powers of negotiation to pull off a bargain.’ Is this not actually how - ahem - we are top of the same division??????
Wigan is going to be really tough. Fighting for their lives, and they don't concede much at home. We really need to blitz them, get an early goal. I'd love to see us really flood them from the start. Would totally mess up their plan and style of play.
TOTALLY agree FML and 2 goals for us in the first 30 minutes and none against is required I feel. I watched the video of the '3 Musketeers' - aka MB, PD and DDF on their way to Wigan and they're feeling confident about tomorrow's result.
I have no idea who those initials belong to, but happy to know they're confident (sorry, just a real aversion to lazy journalism ). Will be tough for sure, a win would be awesome.
