Was he brought back too early with aim of effectively nullifying Coleman like he did for Scotland v ROI? OK he got a clatter but it seemed to undo maybe something that was not yet right.
@andrewrobertso5: 2015 already has an up and down! Great result for the boys and a crucial 3 points! MRI scan tomorrow but nothing broken after the X-ray!
Surprised at the leniency shown by the ref, some appalling tackles, that's before we get onto the diving by Barkley.
Exactly, disgusting and very poor. This needs stamping out, need penalising on the the pitch or retrospectively. I hate this diving around to con the ref for penalties and free kicks.
To be fair to him, he looked like he was the only one really trying for them, musta been quite frustrating for him.
I was a fan of Naismith and would have liked to have seen him in a City shirt if we had the chance, but yesterday told a different story. He was weak when on the ball and constantly whining to the ref for the 90 minutes.
Turn a blind eye Chazz, he's english. No one saw it, nothing to see, move along now. The ref was best mates with Naismith, red kept guiding him through the game and checking he was alright whenever he dived down 'hurt'.
Naismith was an embarrassment to the game, the way he carried on yesterday. I haven't seen a Sweaty cry so much since Andy Murray lost the 2012 Wimbledon final.
