Not sure I agreed what Neville said at half time about our players should have been all over the ref about the handball that preceded neds og. That's the stuff that MU and Chelsea do and personally detest that haranguing of the ref by players and crowding round him...he won't change his mind, Doubt whether he'd see fit to even it up later on either!!! What do others think on this subject??
Rio not been booked in 70+ games. Does he compete? I think they have a point about the lack of passion / care / play for the win / badge...
I think the point they were making was that apart from Green's half-hearted enquiry none of our players even raised an eyebrow let alone a protest, it was symptomatic of a malaise which we suffered under Hughes and Harry in our last season up...
Think souness was more outspoken over this. & I disagree with them, what difference would have made & also we trying to cut this out of our game.
With the exception of Green, no other QPR player appealed. If they had then the ref would have to deliberate more over any future 50/50 decisions. As it was he gave every 50/50 to them as it was the easy option. There were a few decisions that went their way involving a couple of corners, throw-ins and free-kicks but our performance was so abject that it made no difference regardless.
As much as I detest Arry would Macca, Rufus, Webby even Olly (and countless others in the past) played with such lack of commitment? I dont think so..........
It really looked that way. No life from the bench the main problem I feel. I see most of the players giving their all but eventually seem to give up at the lack of cohesive team organisation . Been this way for 18 months or so. Nothing new. Arry should have have been thrown out last March. We have just a group of players each with their good and not so good talents, good and bad days, but little to show that they play together more than once or twice a year
pretty sure I saw others and not just green protest about the hand ball! Green was certainly talking with ref about it going off at half time.
They should have been all over the ref after their first goal. No one seem to bother expect Greens late protest and that is so sad. If they had protested agaist that goal it would have shown that they at least care. Then again if they dont seem to notice TWO opposite players behind our defence (their second goal),then they probably wont notice a slight handball of Valencia. Another embarrasing season ahead of us.
No he wont change his mind but i want my team to play with passion. Team could be bad and unorganized but without passion that bad and unorganized team is one of the worst thing in football.
