Super Scotty Murray Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 I am not sure I have ever seen a player commit as many fouls in 90 minutes as he did today. The new Kevin Davies. Effective and the ref let him get away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampshire reds Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 He would be a useful signing for us in Jan. I think we are two nice in forward places. We need someone who puts himself about and upsets defenders a fit duric. Maybe could do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 I can see why teams did not sign him at quoted prices of over 10m. Puts himself about but not much footballing wise. Know a lot go on about Johnson and Pearson but I wouldn’t mind asking about Alan Browne from their midfield. Looks the part for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preston turned down £8m for him in the summer, don’t think we’re shopping in those markets just yet & personally I don’t think it would be value for money! Especially considering they are expecting bids of about £12m in January! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 Would hate it if we signed him, threw himself to the floor at any opportunity he got. It would completely kill our style of play.... although starting Djuric also seemed to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never have guessed! What a complete and utter Norris he was. Alongside Pearson and a few others tonight who's actions were a complete and utter p*ss take. Pathetic. But, the ref bought it, let's them get away with it and it got the job done for you so you have to say fair play. Take an away win any way you can. Wouldn't fancy watching it every week though!

It doesn't happen every week under Neil, although it was fairly regular under Grayson. As I've just said on another thread, we were on the road against a side doing very well and hadn't won in almost 2 months. We just needed to get a result in whatever fashion.

Pretty sure that was Daniel Johnson. Their captain was the most annoying IMO moaning to the ref the entire game, often running 30-40 metres to have a go at him, with no attempt by the ref to stop it. They took advantage of a very very weak ref. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 How Hugill wasn't booked before kicking the ball away I'll never know, his wipeout on Eliasson in the corner was certainly worthy, as well as trying to drag down one of our when falling over.

As I've just said on another thread, we were on the road against a side doing very well and hadn't won in almost 2 months. We just needed to get a result in whatever fashion. I take issue with the referee more than the players. It is completely expected that a team on the back of a bad run against a side in form will try every trick in the book to nullify the game. It is the ref that needed to be stronger. Once he let players get away with things early on then he set the stall out. I don't understand why refs don't just call captains over early on and say, look, I know what you are up to, the next person to commit a deliberate act of gamesmanship is in the book, end of. Refs usually do nothing until around the 80th minute when it is too late. Preston were very professional in keeping pressure on the ref, Huntington spent most of the game in the refs ear. One of the weakest refs I have ever seen. And I will also say that City got away with quite a few fouls that were unpunished as well. The difference was they were genuine clumsy attempts for the ball, rather than the cynical fouling that Preston committed for pretty much the entire game. The only time they stopped was for 10 minutes after they went 2-0 up. For most of second half up until then they were on the floor, wasting time, standing over free kicks or moaning at the ref about apparent unpunished Bristol City fouls. And then Pearson had the cheek to complain being booked for a cynical foul which injured our best player Joe Bryan, who was targeted for most of the game. Jesus wept!

I wonder if there is a black hole in my washing machine and somewhere , in a parallel universe , there is another me wondering where his other sock has gone . Makes you think doesn't it ?

Spoons Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 He was lucky not to hurt someone in the crowd the way he kicked the ball into the crowd alas gerad lavin away at reading !! Also the goalkeeper smacked the ball into the crowd at 100mph to allow his player to get seen by physio. Although he did apologise completely stupid.

Yea...I dont understand this and why it is allowed now. A few seasons back people used to get booked for that and now refs just let them get away with it, so everyone does it (including Bobby for us). Its very annoying. I wonder if the relaxation on it came in when the refs spray can things came in....maybe they make the argument that until the ref walks the ten yards and sprays the ground they are not instructed on where to stand. Either way its annoying, we should go back to booking people that will stop it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnson was running 20 yards just to stand in front of the free kick, an obvious gamesmanship tactic that should of led to an early booking, PNE were on the crest of a slump so don’t blame them in the slightest for trying it on but I bet they couldn’t believe they’d get such a weak ref, what a painful painful game to watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shtanley Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Gotta say the amount of times I was shouting for someone to take a free kick quickly and boot it against a PNE player was ridiculous. I think LJ is more wily than some realise but we need to start being better and combatting the kind of tactics Preston utilised last night.
