Also for his antics after the goal. I don't ever condone throwing things at players or on the pitch basically they are idiots and need banning but the Fulham player who threw a tin back into E3 deserved a red card. The ref did nothing.
Oh, he did catch a flailing arm, but it was entirely accidental by Coyle. The theatrics that followed was an Emmy-calibre performance. It was pathetic. Almost on par with Taarabt’s tantrum and Jay Tabb’s Wilhelm scream.
Fulham’s squad has a quoted worth of £150M. Higher than a lot of teams in the Premiership. They were better than us but with the strongest squad in the league you would have expected that. On todays showing they will be like Norwich and yo yoing out of the Premiership in alternative seasons.
You can debate fan provocation and how players should react to it. Chucking things on the pitch is inexcusable. However, under the current rules, players who react and chuck things back at the crowd should be shown a red.
I think the team did ok today given I was worried at so many changes when I saw the team sheet. Can’t argue much against the goal, we had a few chances but couldn’t finish them, seems to be an eternal City problem. pitch looked dreadful, I wouldn’t be surprised at that condition at the end of the rugby season, not the start. Groundsmen have a job on there. Although it was amusing when Fleming sprayed Shota with muddy water after his touchline slide. hobnobbing in the padded seats in West again today using up teamcard points. Roof leaks over here too. Nice to see faces like Waggy and Barmby mixing with the fans. Had a good view of police escorting the muppet out of E9, credit to everyone round him for kicking up a fuss to get him out.
Hull boss Shota Arveladze: "If we would have got a point I believe everyone in the ground would have said that we deserved it. "They are the best team in the league. We tried to stop them and to defend as a team and attack as a team, which left me very happy. "I'm proud of the boys and I have to give them a lot of credit. The fans have seen a good football game when both teams tried to play nice, attractive football. "There's a lot to take from this performance." Fulham boss Marco Silva: "We started really well and we pushed them back straight away - which was really important. "I think we controlled most of the situations in the game. But after the first 15 minutes, the game became much more balanced. "We changed some details at half-time, and then in the second half we started well again. "We kept good aggression and that was one of the big things to see. I am really happy for the team. "I'm really pleased for the players and the fans. It was a big win.
If we would have got a point I believe everyone in the ground would have said that we deserved it. They really wouldn’t
Was the muppet in E9 the one who chucked the bottle? I noticed some commotion from E4 but couldn’t really see other than everyone happy when someone got kicked out.
