NickJ Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Great team display yesterday, but a special mention for Louis Carey, our very own Captain Marvel. If the season ended now, he'd be Player of the Season by a mile. Yet again yesterday, challenge after challenge, interceptions and blocks. Looks comfortable going forward, as he always has, distributes well, and a real inspirational captains goal early in the game that set us on our way.The booking was a joke, Louis took the ball cleanly - you only had to see where the ball went afterwards to see that. If officials are saying thats even a foul, let alone a booking, they are as good as saying that tackling is not allowed any more. In fact, I feel most of Louis' 5 bookings this season have been very harsh, except of course the authorities are doing their best to make football into a girls game - no offence intended, ladies.I seem to remember a year ago some had lost faith in Louis, but his quality and leadership is coming through, he will be sorely missed at Vale next week. Though with McCombe proving to be a better player than I thought he would be, and with the option of putting an improving Fontaine back in (probable) or moving Keogh to the middle and the return of Orr on the right (possible), hopefully the team will not be weakened too much.

robins72 Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Like I mentioned the other week Carey had a great mentor in Shaun Taylor at the back when he started for city. Lets hope hes a great mentor for the likes of Orr and Keogh and they will become future captains of this club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If officials are saying thats even a foul, let alone a booking, they are as good as saying that tackling is not allowed any more. The booking was a joke. It wasn't even a foul. I though the ref was appalling in the way he dealt with tackles. As you say, he practically outlawed any sort of contact. It would have been laughable if it weren't for the fact that due to his shortcomings, Louis is now suspended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Yup, just to add I to think that he is playing the best football of his career now, better than before he went to Coventry. On returning he looked awful and I didn't want him in the team.Right now he is an absolute inspiration and a fiiting Captain. He will be missed next week but we have good replacements and competition for places is healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Louis NOT banned for Port Vale. Strange but true.http://www.bcfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/...~898382,00.htmlApparently he wasn't booked at Cheltenham after all, how could everyone, club etc get it so wrong???!!! Still it's good news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was not his decision, well it was but he bottled it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
