Serious provocation and I hope he gets done for play acting as well. Thought Cunningham went on the LA trips with the lads. Don’t think he’ll be invited again. Little ****.

It sounds like Cunningham wound him up then over reacted to get an old team mate sent off. If that's the case your ******* asshole phrase suits Cunningham down to the ground. You can see the video a few posts up, unless Cunningham has said something to Flint as well then its moronic what Flint did and has to take the blame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played the game 'on the edge' and appreciate those who play with a similar passion. Want to blame someone then direct your irie at Cunningham. Well you get to appreciate it for the next 3 games.

Cunningham is an embarrassment; his actions tonight in that 20 second episode are the epitome of the typical modern day parasite footballer. Shocker. Greg makes a deliberate move towards Flint as he gets up from the floor. Flint hardly glances at him when he brushes him off. Greg then makes a meal of it. Flint should not have raised his hands but it wasnt snything as bad as Greg made out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is because I have supported City since 1950 that I can share my opinion. You are too young doubtless to have seen our England centre half, Billy Wedlock, and our under 23 England centre half, Williams. I didn't seeWedlock but my grandfather did and, with exception of Atyeo our best ever player. I did see Williams and Flint isn't fit to be mentioned in the same sentence. This is all too familiar. There is clear.y something wrong as LJ indicated with his comments about lifestyle. Too many big time Charlie's. May I remind you that John Atyeo was never booked. Gentleman John he was called.

reddogkev Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Flint was angry, it was a definite penalty on him as two defenders had just bundled him to the ground when the crossed ball was landing right on his noggin. God knows what shite GC might have spouted when he ruffled his hair. No doubt he said something to further provoke him. All Flint did was swing his arm back without looking, I wouldn't even expect my son to fall over holding his face if that had happened to him. Definite red card in the modern game, but hardly that big a deal from Flint; when he swung his arm he was only looking ahead at the ref and couldn't have known his arm was level with GC's face.

Just brush it off. Wouldn't class a brush on the hair as serious provocation. Suarez on Evra yes. Keane on Haaland yes. If Flint doesn't react, is it a yellow for Cunningham? No... It's just playground. At the end of the day, hes at work. He should try working in a job where he gets spat at or physically attacked daily.

This is my opinion too. Yeah Flint shouldn't have lashed out, but to be honest that fire, passion and frustration has been missing from our squad recently. Obviously I want to see it channelled in a positive way, but the guy is not a moron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
