Godzilla Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Quote from Brian Jones: "Brighton didn't win the game in my view: they prevailed because of a dubious penalty award." Yes, Brian, and defeat is not a failure. So, a psychologist who's in denial. Perhaps he needs to see a psychologist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Humble Realist Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Yeah it hought that line about brighton + about us "dominating " the game was a complete load of rubish. Face it we didnt deserve to win and we didnt perfrom and we bottled it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest otibforever Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Let's not look back, let's look forwards. Yes, we had one of the best squads of players outside of the Premiership last season, we just didn't use them effectively enough and, as always, suffered with injuries etc, and it seems the only thing people remember from last season is the play-off final, but the following season is coming up so let's look at that now.

brady bunch Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 cannot argue with what he said, apart from his claim that the Brighton pen was "dubiuos". I hate to say it but "I think not!!". yep the guy made a meal at of it, but colesy did give him a good kick... it was a pretty clear pen to me and everyone else I have spoken to since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 The penalty might have be 'dubious' but that's what won them the game. We could have played them off the park. Wave after wave of attractive attacking football.But unless the ball goes in the net, Mr Jones, it all counts for nothing. we get nothing for great football, only goals count. Call yourself a sports psychologist, huh? I don't know what was said in your 'presentation' the evening before, but I reckon I could have prepared the players better!

Guest otibforever Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 According to the rules, it wasn't a penalty, Danny Coles was looking at the ball and clearly attempting to clear the ball, not kick the player, why would he want to boot a player in the box in a vital play-off final? I'm only going by the rules here, it wasn't a penalty, it wasn't deliberate. But that's past and we can't change it, so let's go up in style this season instead eh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest otibforever Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Well basically, the rules are, if it wasn't deliberte it isn't a penalty, as simple as that, I can't see why he'd purposely boot a player in the box at the end of a game so important, he was looking at the ball, it wasn't a penalty. But anyway, next season, let's not mess about with those bloody play-offs eh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 But last season our players were kicked and fell over in the box, yet no league Pens. How can that be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilksi Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 But last season our players were kicked and fell over in the box, yet no league Pens. How can that be? Us and Blackburn were the only sides in the country not to have a League penalty ALL season..... its a fix!! :@ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Humble Realist Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Yes i agree witht he rules stating it wasnt a penalty but it is like deliberate ahndball, if the ball its you hand on the line and you dont mean it it aint a penalty- however all this talk of it not being a penalty is sour grapes we arnt and wernt good enough to go up. the performance was a disgrace we didnt deserve to win and to be quite frank we played as if we didnt care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Red Hat Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 I know the word 'winner' begins with the same letter as 'Wilson', but to use it in the way it is intended seems to me a bit laughable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spud55 Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 It was a penalty, even if you do try to twist the ruling to mean something all of us know full well it does not. Coles made a deliberate attempt to get the ball, didn't and took iwelumo out, so therefore he deliberately took iwelumo out, because he failed miserably to get the ball. He also denied a clear goalscoring opportuity. How many more reasons would you like as to why under the rules it was a cast iron pen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City Exile Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Always a silly rule. Technically, any penalty has to 'deliberate'. I would bet by bottom dollar that 90% of the time when a forward is tripped in the box, the defender did not mean to. Why would they? However, when we look at the slow motion replays, all we look at is did he catch the forward, or did he get the ball. I suppose, the rule really ought to be more obective than subjective really. But by my standards, a cast iron penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kit Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 If I was a ref I wouldn't have given the penalty. But it is a case that there can be no complaints that it was given. And no complaints that we lost the game because of the penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tompo Posted June 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 Yep , just what i was thinking? What makes wilson a winner?? Shoot me down in flames. Can't be bothered to find the stats but I think you will find that as manager at City he (the team) won more games than he lost. Also won a trophy under him.
