Clarkie in a spot of bother.

Lee Clark Kicks Advertising Hoarding In Celebration.

Birmingham 3-3 Burnley:

Birmingham manager Lee Clark channelled the spirit of Temuri Ketsbaia as he celebrated Federico Macheda's late equaliser against Burnley by kicking an advertising hoarding.

The Blues trailed three times against the second-placed Clarets to earn a valuable point thanks to the on-loan Manchester United striker, who levelled to earn a dramatic 3-3 draw.

It is not the first time the St Andrews hoardings have taken a kicking. Six years ago, then-Arsenal captain William Gallas took out his frustration on them after Birmingham striker James McFadden struck a late leveller.

Clark also hinted he may report James Linington after claiming the referee "mocked" club captain Paul Robinson during the 3-3 draw against Burnley.

He felt the incident - which he said came as the official booked Robinson for for dissent following the Clarets' second goal - took the gloss off a tremendous fightback by his side.

"I was furious and I lost my temper," said the Birmingham boss.
"There seemed to be a bit of an arrogance among the officials and that is not being accepted.
"There was an incident involving (Burnley striker) Danny Ings and Paul Robinson. I thought it was a foul by Ings.
"They scored from the resultant free kick. Paul remonstrated with the referee, who gave Paul a yellow card, but he mocked him about the scoreline at the time. This is totally unacceptable.

"When my captain is fighting for the club and the supporters are backing my team and when I am working as hard as I can to get the results to remain in the league, getting mocked by an official is something I am not going to accept.

"I am not questioning his performance. But he knows what he said and it is not acceptable in any walk of life.
"This was the only downside, and I have to flag it up. It is that it is not acceptable for an official to mock any player at any stage."

Clark also told BBC Radio 5 Live: "I will be wanting to take it further."

Would anybody like to see Clarkie here if Pards left? He always was a bit passionate.

 

I remember this referee from our championship gap year
he reffed us against West Brom in the FA cup, where Chris Hughton of all people had to be restrained form
getting at this ref, he was really shocking that day (the ref)

He would have to be bad to get a reaction like that from CH.

 

I thought you would be getting your head down for an early start tomorrow AB

 

Been thinking about it for ages, going to have to go soon I've got a taxi coming at 5:40 to get me to the pick up point.

 

you could always try to sleep on the bus
although I could never do it myself


you going to Whitley Bay on Monday for the reserves ???

 

Have to see how the weekend goes, I wouldn't mind going though.

 

Calling it a night now, need to get my beauty sleep.

 

Don't you waste money on taxis when you've got to buy me a beer or two tomorrow, get up earlier and walk you lazy bugger.

 

Yes James, whatever you say James, I'll bring my piggy bank with me so I'll still be able to buy you a beer or two.

 

To be honest, this sort of reaction from managers is beginning to get on my mammary glands. Wah wah wah! all the decisions haven't gone our way. Wah wah wah! the ref must be corrupt! Wah wah wah! we can't be allowed to say anything back despite the dog's abuse the ref takes during the match.

Clarkie is a Geordie. He should start acting like one.

 

He did here.... although his SAFC bosses were not happy....
