Roberts sending off

[GarryOggy]

One of their players caught Ainge I think in the face with his forearm but to Ainge credit he shrugged it off. This petty appealing and getting in the face of the referee led by Pearson is getting out of control. If it wasn't for the lack of bottle by the referee probably because the crowd would have gone mental he could have sent another one or two off at least.

[John Neals Dynasty]

No complaints about any of the bookings or the sending off. The penalty was a dive, but the referee the more the fans booed him the more he enjoyed it, he wanted to be star of the show, he never allowed for the conditions and the slightest contact down their players went and the ref fell for it every time.

But that performance by us was to put it mildly of a evo stick league level abysmal.

Ok we can criticise the players for ill-discipline, but it must be so frustrating when there is an OBVIOUS bias towards the other side.

What did Andrade do?

Yes, booted the ball at Roberts, but that was around the time this whistle went so not a case of ungentlemanly conduct with Roberts lying prone.

He then had to put up with pea brained sore loser in his face and grabbing his balls. What else did he do???

One positive is that on his trip to the tunnel, Roberts crossed the half way lone for the first time this season.

Raven is also a much better player and should start every game. Jennings should be the first player out the door, he is utterly useless.

Sorry mate, as I wrote in a previous post, I get the frustration with Roberts and agree with comments regards his stupidity, but to allude Andrade was blameless is pushing things a little.
He shot the ball at Roberts a good few seconds after the whistle blew and knew exactly what he was doing. He also continued with the argument with Roberts after being told by the ref to cool it.
Granted he was more streetwise than Roberts, but certainly not blameless.

raven should start every game as he is our best footballer ,

jennings scored a good goal on friday

i thought the game should have been called off as the kop end goalmouth and wings were waterlogged ,the linesman had to run over the line onto the pitch as it was too waterlogged .

i thought someone would have had a very serious injury as you could not do anything with the ball and everything was mistimed.

we should have matched them with size as they proper out muscled us

simon ,raven ,wright should have started

He wound Roberts up, but my point, I think, was that he didn't do anything the ref could send him off for.

He retaliated by aiming a kick at Roberts. It was blatant. How the 4th official missed that but saw the grope ill never know.

Did Roberts mouth an inappropriate comment at a black player?
