But why did he do it in the first place? It looked to me he ran towards saka, elbowed him, and ran away.

That's what I thought. Disgusting if he meant it the way it sounds.

The trouble is, that to some teams it's just accepted now that it's fair game to target certain players without regard for the rules. This was an extract from a report on the Norwich game. "Mark Robins was angered at the lack of protection Tatsuhiro Sakamoto received as he was clearly targeted...

Should have fined him as well. He still gets paid whether he plays or not.

That's an interesting choice of words. The FA were in an awkward position with Allen's issue, the ref had to say he saw it because he gave a free kick. If there was conclusive video evidence it's possible, given the wording above, that they would have taken retrospective action. I like to think...

It's an automatic red if the ref saw it, so he is unlikely to say he saw it and took no action. Allen's incident was different because the ref gave a free kick. He obviously didn't see any elbow contact and his on-the-spot decision was to just award a free kick. Without conclusive video footage...

The club should complain about it, given the clarity of evidence it would be very difficult to ignore. In any case I doubt the authorities saw us as wrong to complain about Allen, they probably didn't want to go against their own rules of not challenging a ref's decision, especially given the...

I would say very few goals scored are unsaveable, and mostly the keeper gets very close to a save. That's what they are there for. This idea that because the keeper got his fingertips to it, that makes it a bad strike is crazy.

I would say unpredictability is one of the greatest assets a striker can have. Isn't that what training ground moves are always looking for? a way to wrong-foot the opposition defence.

I think we will beat Plymouth, can see 12 or 13 points there

I notice in the training videos, whenever there is a group of players encouraging each other and having good natured banter etc. (usually led by MVE and COH), Hadji is usually involved, and seems to be part of that group. He is obviously settling in.

It leaves a real feeling of anger and injustice. It's a shame the police can't get involved. Basically it's assault.

Yes, he just ran away

MR is saying they won't look at it because the ref saw it and gave a free kick, therefore the ref has dealt with it.

Yes, I'm not making any excuses for the officials, my point was more in line with the need for it to be restospectively reviewed as the ref obviously didn't see it, even though the point was made earlier in the thread that the ref was looking straight at it.

I don't think he did book him

I would rest whoever needs it. Any of our squad are more than good enough. It's not so much squad selection but complacency that is the danger.

Not necessarily. It's pretty sure he will go, but there is absolutely no benefit in him signing a contract with us before the end of the season even if he is considering staying. He knows he will get better offers at the end of the season, including from us. And he knows we will try our best to...

This is the moment of contact, so although the ref was looking in that direction, there was no way he had a proper view of the contact.
