Thanks for posting the link NSS
The only way Rose would have been sent of seems to be if deemed guilty of violent conduct:
"A player is guilty of violent conduct if he uses excessive force or brutality against an opponent when not challenging for the ball."
There is no specific actions listed from what I can see - not even the much-quoted 'raised hands'. So, was his action sufficient? Possibly, but by no means certain.

If idiocy by players was a sending off offence, then he certainly should have gone - but then few games would ever get completed!!

 

he doesn't from me,but he does from others,i wonder if it's because he isn't an expensive foreign player

 

I think we are, if we all agreed there wouldn't be any need for a forum like this

He's still crap though

 

if you think that ,you need to read the rule's book

 

Townsend's having an MRI scan to discover how bad his injury is.
One of these days we'll play a full game against Stoke without them crocking any of our players.

 

Have to say that Hughes' behaviour (being outraged) at every (correctly given) decision against them was getting right on my tits on saturday. No wonder the fans were joining in too.
It was a bit of a joke, no wonder they've had decent home results when their entire game plan seems to be to pressurise the ref into giving them decisions.

 

Wishful thinking PNP, never gonna happen.

 

They might be "trying to play better football" nowadays but still their players are violent, dirty thugs injuring people at will with their manager screaming abuse at the ref for every imagined injustice (and most of them were totally imagined). Meanwhile the ugly, fat, toothless masses of the Stoke crowd, their faces contorted with anger, reminded me somewhat of a stereotypically-cast medieval mob, many of which had fairly advanced-stage plague. And apparently some of them think they should have won! Someone needs to throw them a turnip and we can all watch them fight over it.

Every supporter in England hates Stoke. ****ty team in a ****ty town who can only ever cheat, foul and shout like Neanderthals. We were pretty crap but any victory over that bunch of thugs will do. Take the three points and get back to civilisation.

 

Surely, they must be kidding.? Still, if they really want referees looking more closely at their tactics, so be it...

IT will show they are a team of thugs,and Adams might get sent off more often for his attempted leg breakers,which can't be a bad thing!

 

I hope that they do take a look at the game. They should ban Stoke's twat of a manager for his constant crap, for a start.

 

Stoke's tradition of injuring at least one of our players in every game has continued, following the news that Andros Townsend requires surgery and will be out for 10 weeks.
That means that he'll definitely miss England's trip to Brazil for the World Cup, which I'm sure he'll be absolutely gutted about.

 

Cheers Stoke, always a pleasure.

****s.

 

I wish they would f*** off to the championship and take thier 1950s football with them.

C***S
