Gents, nobody more frustrated with his antics than us Jacks. You could swear that Calzaghe had lumped him one, makes my blood boil.
Hilts - if you mean Chico then I hold my hands up - no defence there. He's getting a bit embarrassing TBH, going down like he's had a bucket full of acid thrown in his face! And yes ITI - some of the crowd boo'd the players at half time, but only a small minority - the booing at the end was for the referee (only his 3rd game at this level and it showed!). Will reserve my judgement on the penalty decision until I watch MotD - couldn't really see it from where I was in the ground!
just do an allardyce when he makes a fool of himself and he'll soon stop........ [video=youtube;Lm_GPkOfVKI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lm_GPkOfVKI[/video]
No, nick his Ferrari and don't give I back to him until he cuts the acting out. I might get him an equity card for Christmas.
I do think that the Stoke player should have been sent off as he did raise his hand to Chico's face and make contact but I think the play acting saved him. Rangel should have also gone for what looked like taking a swing at a Stoke player late in the game. Awful decision for the penalty though, but if it had been us I'm pretty sure half of the jack board would be over here telling us it was handball. Unless of course it was pgf who only seems capable of telling us to **** off and calling us names.
It did look a bit dubious in fairness, but they seem to be inviting pressure in the closing minutes of games all too often lately. Chito Flores is a liability and was responsible for one of the goals conceeded.
Refs tend to stick together. No doubt Madley was asked by Mike Dean to get them. The thread subject is about another matter though, and seems to have wandered off into the "penalty" incident. Back on thread - even the Swansea guys are pissed off with his B movie acting. Nothing to do with us, but it's refreshing to see.
If you are going tospend most of your time rolling on the floor, you are not contributing as you should, ala Bothroyd.
You cant compare Chico and Bothroyd. Chico is trying to get fellow pros sent off and is a disgrace. That penalty decision is far from disgraceful. Ball on target hits Routledges arm hes got a decison to make. First time I saw it I thought a clear penalty. Sky pundit just backed the ref. Harsh penalty after seeing the replay but far from disgraceful. If Rangel hadnt jumped with his hands up there wouldnt even have been a decision to make. What was probably more to complain about was the ref allowing Stoke to retake that final corner. Anyway the Jacks are running out of refs. Everyone is out to get them it seems.
The ref couldn't have seen the ball hit his arm because it didn't, therefore he shouldn't have given the penalty, penalties shouldn't be given on what is thought to have happened. Bothroyd spent a lot of time on the ground, so does chico, hence the comparison, I don't think I said anything about Bothroyd cheating though.
Unless of course it was pgf who only seems capable of telling us to **** off and calling us names. don't take it personal he does that on our board too when he loses an argument...toys out of pram i call it..
