Good enough for Michael Owen it's good enough for Robins.

If the ball boy was giving it, then he's got to take it.

And if he wasn't giving it, then I can't believe for a minute that Robins would have reacted like that.

If you get involved in shithousing as a ball boy, or indeed anywhere else on the pitch, don't cry when it blows back on you.

It’s the kind of thing that if an opposing manager did it to a ball boy at the CBS then people would be fuming. But for Robins to do it is so bizarrely out of character that it’s hilarious.

Kid is sitting right next to the away dugout. He's going to have seen a lot of grown men celebrating right in front of him. And he'll have heard worse from the home fans behind him.

Then you can add in the disrespect he gave Robins at 2-1 by dropping the ball while smirking, instead of giving it to the gaffer. Not a good representative for his club.

If the kid was upset, it was more likely that it was due to us taking the victory so late, not Robins' Hulk impression.

O'Neill had already been shithousing from the 10th minute when Sa dropped to the floor like he'd been injured. All the Wolves players scampered to the sideline as O'Neill had been out-tacticed by Robins and had to give his team new instructions, all caught on ITV cameras. Sa was constantly looking at the bench while he was being tended to and nodded when the team were returning to the pitch. Amazingly he got up and showed no sign of injury. But his falling on the ball in added time was understandable. He was the busier keeper so must have needed a lie down as he was knackered :ROFLMAO:

It's yet another storm in a teacup (how many is that this season?), meant to deflect away from O'Neills teams inadequacies and sprinkle some salt on our celebrations.

That age, kids are old enough to shout "F***", "W*****" and "C***" but this one can't take a middle-aged man doing a mediocre Hulk impression when his team gives up a lead and are suddenly losing :ROFLMAO:

Only distressed cos of the instant karma that was handed to him.
The shit rag sun have gone with it as their back page, rather than the achievement.
They tried to shithouse us when O’Neil got his arse handed to him by our tactics, and didn’t like losing - before the game he was with the itv pundits talking as if they were thru but it’d be a bit a work to do it.

When did we get so precious

Is it us though ? I don't see anything different or changed about us this season. Yet, since Christmas, we seem to be in the news every couple of weeks for something someone did or said. Or a photo that shows someone in a bad light. Almost as if people are looking for drama here due to our success and we have a target on our backs.

Robins today is saying "F**k them. We won't roll over to comply with everyone else. We'll do what we want, we'll celebrate how we want."

He’s giving it back to a ball boy who was royally shithousing during the game. He hasn’t verbally or physically abused them in any way . Dear god shall we just take whatever passion is left out of the game so we don’t upset anyone ?

Totally agree (as my comment tried to justify). We're just the current target for drama queens who want to point fingers at anyone with success. They're a minority of society. Unfortunately, they're also very vocal so often the only voices you hear.

I don’t think I’ve ever taken against an opposition player the way I reacted to the Wolves #21 today. Snidey, whiney, shithousery all game.

They just have to perpetuate the story for the prem team don't they.
It was not hand ball at all ever, and a farce that it took 4.5mins to try and rule it out, the guardian trying to change history, f**k off!

I don’t think some of these people get the memo that when it comes to the cup, the neutrals are nearly always backing the underdog and your coverage should reflect that. Which isn’t to say ignore Wolves, but they had clearly assumed the result and thought ahead to them being the underdogs against the clubs in the semis.

Far worse and not mentioned was Sarabia applauding the ref for giving a free kick against him alt nouri petulance and Semedo’s assault all didn’t get a mention

more importantly wrights finish and the move for the second and third goals were quality to grace any game let alone this game and in the last 4 minutes of a 100

Sour grape
More like ungentlemanly conduct

Robins could boot the ball boy Eden Hazard style for all I care. Blokes a legend, O'Neil is a pretender.

He thought the result was a given
This complacency transmitted to his players so they underperformed
Deservedly went behind then undeservedly went in front
Complacency restored and they took their feet off the gas again
Karma struck at the end

If he took a genuinely professional approach to the game as opposed to paying lip service, his side would have won. There’s a lesson in there if he wants to learn it.

I've looked at lots of other teams' forums and they universally seemed to be backing Cov

What was the running away from simms and diving on the ball shit!!!!!!
Spoils the game totally
Fuck him and his manager
That was really embarrassing. You could almost see the cogs going around in his brain. "Shall I pretend I am injured, or should I just milk falling on the ball for a bit?"
