steveybadger Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 43 minutes ago, Chris_Brown said: Exactly. And if, for example, the Wolves player indicates to the referee that he will give the ball back to us in order to gain and uncontested drop ball, and then doesn't give it back, then that is unsporting behaviour and presumably, a booking. Interesting - was going to post about why refs don't do this. So does this mean that if the Wolves guy didn't signal he was returning the ball then we were actually a bit naive (unwritten rules etc)?

Wolvesaywe Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 How can the one thing being touted around about wolves be cheating tactics?? Surely you can appreciate wolves played Bristol off the park last night and you stole a point. Fair play for that but would be nice to recognise good football and give credit where it's due.

If you want to make a point then don't be bias. Debatable penalty which none of the Bristol city players even appealed for and the incident prior to the ' cheating ' was our defender getting layed out in the box. It was a blatant a penalty as I have seen. How a red can spot a handball from 40 yards away but can't see your defender wipe out Danny Bath. It was good to see Bristol city came to play and I have a lot of respect for teams that do that and your probably the best team we have played this season but if wolves had won the game 6-2 noone would bat an eyelid. I think wolves dominated and played some brilliant football. Fair play for stealing a point you barely deserved. See you in the return Think 3-3 would indicate that neither team stole a point eh? Don't shit yourself either about bias, you've totally ignored what this thread was about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted September 13, 2017 Admin Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 26 minutes ago, where's the joy said: don't worry about wolves cheating antics, we've go them at home and we can always set our mascots on you!!! That is more to do with being a bit "savvy" in this league, when we first came back up we were often out "footballed" by more experienced campaigners but we are certainly nearly up there with them now Part of the problem with Wolves is the high number of "foreign" players, sadly it is in their blood to over-react to something simple, but that's football sadly PS The mascots were nothing to do with Bristol City 16 minutes ago, Wolvesaywe said: How can the one thing being touted around about wolves be cheating tactics??

You are probably the best team that i have seen at this level since we came back up, some of the counter attacking football you play is breathless and frankly if that performance is anything to go by you will definitely get promoted.... But get your head out your arse- It was never a penalty. Wright won the ball. I've just shown it to everyone in my office here in Manchester and not a single one of them thinks it was a penalty. In fact twitter is littered with Wolves fans saying it wasn't a penalty. As for ours. Debatable? Yes your player was close to the ball when it was hit but he moves his arm out to meet it! So don't blame the fact that you didn't win on anything other than your failure to take more chances and that we took ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lgbbcf Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 good game all round last night, as usual the first half wasn't too exciting then Flinty scored just before half time, a few dodgy decisions both ways from the officials. the second half City as usual we were into the game and did us proud.

cheshire_red Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 The referee hails from Penkridge literally just north of Wolverhampton and according to posters in their forum his family support Wolves.

They bring added controversy on themselves by allowing this to happen, although it still shouldn't be in any teams plans. Should be a caution if you don't kick it back to where the ref says!!

As opposed to say Brentford, where they were literally camped in our half for 60 mins of the game and constantly creating very good chances. I thought our midfield had more hold of the game than against Reading even. 2 of their goals from corners, with the last one definitely being preventable. Think we'll turn em over at the Gate, like we have done the past couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to read some of the posts from the match day thread . Most of us gave credit to Wolves for their football and as the home team the emphasis was on you to break us down . Our point was deserved because we went toe to toe with your guys and didn't lie down to let the mighty Wolves claim their ' rightful ' three points. I doubt many teams will mark three goals against you at Moulineux so perhaps a little credit there ? I could add it was you who stole a point after we were in the lead !
