Cairney injury

We can just about cover Paul Mckenna for 3 games but TC not being available at all for however long is bad and will IMO alow Steve Bruce to bring in a 2nd central midfielder. Meyler and Tunnicliffe on season long loans will do IMO.

It was a reckless tackle and needless. Shame we did not have an Ashbee or Whitehurst type player last night in the team. Husband would have needed more than a wife to get-a-way with that one.

 

I was also there last night and agree with the 3 posters above. It seems to me that many are basing there opinions on what they hear not what happened. Oli-Cairney and Evans had the midfield well under control until THAT TACKLE.
FFS, But for that Mckenna would not have even been on the pitch to get sent off. Double whammy, imo.

Far too much has been made of last nights loss. Donnys goals came from a great hit N hope shot and 2 shocking pieces of slack marking. Evans missed a sitter just befrore half-time and Simposn hit the inside of the post just before the winner. Small margins again.

Well as the match ref. did not bother then the FA can. Thankfully.

 

link doesn't work for me

 

I went last night and do not agree. Oli was largely anonymous -- didn't do anything bad but neither did he step up and take control especially after Cairney got taken out.

 

Nigel Reo-Coker anyone?

 

Has the extent of Cairney's injury been confirmed yet?

 

For those who quote Swanny about Oli, it was interesting to hear him say it was a good old fashioned and fair tackle on Cairney as it happened. After seeing the photo on Amber Nectar it clearly was a dangerous tackle. You can see the impact on his knee quite clearly. Hope the t**t gets what he deserves!!!

 

"...Hope the t**t gets what he deserves...." who swanny or husband?

 

Oooh just got onto the link - that's a shocker of a tackle.

 

Both

 

As the ref didn't bother, he'll get nothing

 

That is a real sissor tackle whch can break legs, as SB said a horror tackle. Can't believe he didn't even get a yellow for it.

 

I thought those "scissor" tackles were automatic yellow cards?

 

I thought so too, obviously the ref was blind or he is doesn't know the rules.

 

Hand ball in the penalty box is an automatic penalty but a ref can only give a decision based on what he sees with his own eyes. Time for technology and fourth referees to get more involved.

 

Thought a player can still get done for it after a game even if the Ref didn't do anything about it at the time J-D?

 

i hope it doesnt come to it, but such events have led to civil action in the past on occasions
