    TOP CAT your obviously just on a wind-up.

    TransferMarkt...run a Fair Play Table.

    Div 1

    1st are MK Dons with only 30 foul pts against.

    2nd are Oxford with only 32 foul pts against.

    3rd in that table are Argyle with only 34 foul pts against.

    and if we go down, down, down we find your team are.....

    11th in that table SUNDERLAND with 41 foul pts against.


    If we look at yesterdays game ....Sunderland had 4 players booked....and Argyle ONLY 2 booked.

    So take your tinted specs off and look at the facts.
    So who are the dirtiest you are.

    I'll support Sensible on that. We are a bit more streetwise than we used to be in terms of what's euphemistically called "game management" but nothing like as bad as the Wimbledons and Wycombes of this world.

    Dirty, no, same as most and better than some.

    The timing of the cards tells it all. We were poor in the first half and you had it easy. Sensible questioned how it could be you'd only had 1 foul awarded against you in yhe first 45 and he's right, that's not possible. So we can rule out the ref being biased against Sunderland.

    In the second half we were a lot better, although too little, too late, and you got 4 booked trying to stop it.

    You didn't record a shot in the final 15 of the first half and we made a game of it in the second, so yes, we threw it away in the 1st 30 minutes.

    I've been thinking about it overnight: we started with an attacking midfield player at LWB when we had a strong young more defensive player on the bench (Law) and we stuck with 1 holding midfielder up against your 2 withdrawn 10's. That never works for us and perhaps we should started Randell alongside Houghton. If we'd closed the game down instead of trying to play in the first 20, things might have been different, so don't get too cocky, we made it easy for you but with the intention of making a good game of it.

    I see that Conor Grant had a Pelvic injury and wasn't available for the Sunderland game....we certainly needed him down that left side.

    How long will he be out...all a bit of a mystery this type of injury.

    PS.....Steven Schumacher said that Conor's injury was just a niggle that he has had for a couple of weeks.....he is hoping that with rest he could well be available for the Charlton game next Saturday.

    Was not so much you made a game of it as, our left back was injured and did not come out for the second half so we had to regroup and it made you look a little better

    dred are you hard of understanding? That is a table of fair play for the season so far not for this one game so it actually does prove something. And it isn't our table it was independently drawn up. Of course the Ref was biased and you could tell he would be because he arrived in a green car and was eating a pasty. I called your comments in my first post on this thread.before the game even started. Wonder how I knew which way they would go.

    Have you only got one left back then? Our resident right back dislocated his knee and tore ligaments a couple of games ago. We had to regroup as well. We looked better in the second half because we were better in the second half and that had nothing to do with who you did or didn't have on the pitch.

    Thing is Plym it was all so predictable. Let them moan if it makes them happy. They don't have much else to be happy about at the minute.

    Are you serious? Erm we had two and you had twice as many but we were dirtier than you. I bet the local Tory MP loves people like you. Also I didn't post that Plymborn did. You clearly can't read either. Tell you what mate just pop off and annoy somebody else. You can have a pop at Ipswich next week, they are positively filthy honest they are.............

    As I said to your mate, bias toward you and that is why we had so many booked.
    I
    1 foul in the first half and booked for it says it all.
    Fouls conceded 6 each.
    Booking 4 2

    So bookings equals bias by the Ref towards the other team.....blimey it's a good job you didn't lose....they'd have been scraping the Ref up and returning him to his wife in a box.

    Do you actually understand what a yellow card is for in football? Let me explain cards and fouls. If I only foul once in the whole match but that foul is kicking somebody in the head deliberately then I would get a red card. But I would cry I only fouled once if I lived in your World. If You only pushed a player mildly 3 times in the match you wouldn't even get a card at all. You see it isn't the actual number of fouls but the severity of them that gets a card. Anyway glad to be of assistance to you and if you need anything else explaining then please feel free to ask.

    Wots it like to be a thick prick and have nothing better to do? I actually enjoy insulting people so it's really nice to have an excuse. That's my reasoning for answering.
