Thanks for that Northolt. Being a moderator has responsibilities, it is not total permission to be offensive.
Enjoyed the game, which either side could have won. I must say though I've seen far worse refs this season. He didn't get much wrong in the first half and both sets of strikers and centre backs were grappling and backing in at times...it's what they're paid to do...so deciding the guilty party wasn't always easy. I don't think you can blame the ref for the dissent bookings...JE unfortunately has a bit of a track record in this respect. There were errors in the second half, there always are, but none of them was critical. The free kick for Norwich's second goal would have been given by many refs and we should be able to defend balls knocked in from that distance anyway. Apart from that it was decent entertainment for this time of the season.
Must say when people were slating Northolt I was looking around for an offensive comment and couldn't see one. Same with his signature really.....I felt like it was just banter and women walking down stairs with great assets is hardly something I'd expect a man (or anyone, really) to get upset about. I felt that Northolt was a bit of a WUM back on 606, but I haven't seen any of it yet.
MM - Ak had a good point though - whilst most men might approve of a few busty substances we would not want to give the wrong impression to our other halves or kids who might get the wrong impression of that not606 was about. Fair play to Northolt though - he has responded to the request
Hypothetical as this is.....if Hornette was to have a signature with a hunky man strolling along with tight pants on and no shirt.....would there be a similar reaction?
Just how that thug Holt stayed on the pitch last night is beyond me - he continually clattered into Taylor and Marriapa. A very easy going ref, who hardly blew up in the first half, let the thug get away with everything last night and only booked him when it is so obvious that he had no choice. Poor finishing and defending too deep let us down again - why, oh why, oh why do we not leave a man up at corners and free kicks?
I think Northolt should get lost, I have no doubt he and many other "pikeys" will be in the Rookery on the 30th. If I want to look at ladies, there are plenty of sites on the internet. So I say BUZZ OFF.
OK back on topic, last night's game was a hard fought point, a little fortunate perhaps but the boys certainly put in a shift. Norwich (and particularly Holt) are a physical team who like to have a moan at the ref. They certainly got the better of the ref and how Holt only got the 1 booking is beyond me. Doyley took an elbow to the face from Holt and then got booked for protesting! We will now miss Eustace for 2 games I think as his booking for nudging the ball away was a very soft one. If refs booked players for every such action there would be cards everywhere! And then the ref banned Multi ball for 2 balls on the pitch just before half time - petty, very petty. As for the future, the search for a left back has taken us to a triallist called Palmer who is a very nasty piece of work, who's football CV is patchy at best. It is now clear Andrew Taylor is off our radar - will we be competitive if we have to sign these "dead beats"?
