Jack Dawe Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 How things change. How the illustrious have fallen. In our previous Championship stint (2007 - 2013) we played them 12 times, losing 6 times, winning twice. They hammered us 6:0 that first year up, too. This time, we've played them 6 times, losing once. And winning 4 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for him! Tbh, kicking the ball out when a player, your own or the oppositions is down injured and ref hasn't seen it is considered an unwritten rule in football as is giving the ball back via the throw in. Colin, being old school gets very pissy if the players of either team don't do it. That's part of his problem with Gary Johnson. I can't remember the incident but Colin sees GJ as 'bad sport' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogbad the Bad Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 4 hours ago, Dr Balls said: Also noticed that he recognised the seriousness of Hörður's injury straightaway & got his players to put the ball out. As for the swearing, I can understand why he feels he has to at some of the players at his disposal. He had the defence and midfield well set up for keeping us playing tiki taka where it didn't matter, but they lacked much creativity, while fortunately for us, Waghorn & Sears up front didn't play that well yesterday. Hörður walked off in the end. It's the refs. decision, and his alone, to stop the game - either for a head injury, or an injury he considers serious. Hörður's injury wasn't deemed as serious enough by the ref. to stop play, so he rightly allowed the game to continue. For a manager to then instruct a player to go against the advice of the F.A. to referees and all cubs, that being that the players should play to the whistle and not take decisions into their own hands by kicking the ball out, is not only wrong but very irritating to many supporters. It doesn't matter if it was one of our players down on this occasion. It's a competitive game, get on with it unless the ref's whistle dictates otherwise.

Tully Bascomb Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 Hm made it clear he had a serious problem, our players thought he had a serious problem so for the opposition manager to instruct his player to kick the ball out is being a good sport. With the amount of cheating and play acting we usually see, I thought nit was quite refreshing to see. So sorry Nogbad, it may not be to the letter of the law but it was certainly in the spirit of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 I consider that a coach with Mick Mccarthy's experience would give us a tremendous advantage and lead to promotion. Not necessarily as the Head Coach but as a wise head among the three relatively inexperienced ones that we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember the incident but Colin sees GJ as 'bad sport' It was ‘the goal that never was’ that wound Warnock up re GJ, as confirmed in this BBC article at the end of Feb before we played Cardiff. It was hilarious at the time of course! ‘Ghost goal' Warnock admitted emnity between himself and the Johnsons - Lee and his father Gary, the current Cheltenham Town boss who also managed Bristol City. It stems from the infamous Freddie Sears "ghost goal" at Ashton Gate when the forward was playing for Warnock's Crystal Palace against Bristol City in 2009. Warnock at the time felt "cheated" after what he felt was a valid goal disallowed with Sears' effort crossing the line before bouncing out. "Everyone knew it was a goal, apart from the officials, even Gary knew it was a goal and I thought they should have conceded a goal. But they didn't," Warnock added.

One of his strikers will go down if the opposition are breaking, while his keeper will collapse before a goal kick. You cant allow that to work. Thanks to cheats playing anti football (Cardiff and Preston being the lead protagonists this season) it now means you should play on for everything bar a clear and genuine head injury. It's the sportsman like Mick and Lee that are fighting to keep the game from going all 90s Italian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was yelling at Spence and Ward particularly - and motivational he aint. The two instances that stuck with us the most were 'Wardy give the ball to Jordan - give him the ball now, Wardy give Spence the ball - Wardy give Jordan the f****g Football NOW!! " Then when Spence had the free kick outside our box, big build up and then he laced it well over the bar - City fans jeered and then it hit that quiet moment just as McCarthy yelled out "that was F****g shit!!" On a serious note, thought he looked a bit haggard today - wonder if he'll be the next manager to go in the Championship. Poor game of football - great 3 points for us - Bolton beating Villa makes our defeat at Bolton look a bit more acceptable - and the beat goes on COYR It's not a puppet theater. All he does is upset people. Why don't they just ask him to piss off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hörður may have been in a bit of discomfort, but clearly, as he's joined up with the Iceland squad, he did not have a serious problem. The instruction from the authorities to managers is clear - they want players to stop kicking the ball out and to play to the whistle. McCarthy was simply wrong to instruct his player to kick the ball out when the ref. was aware of the situation and deemed play should continue. It's not refreshing to see at all, it's irritatingly commonplace, and should stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
