He was the best of a bad bunch.
And that never happened arsehole.
Pathetic.

it did happen though - and whether or not the interpretation was correct it could have appeared that way, and for all we know Saddle may be correct

the only person who knows for sure is Josh Eccles himself, any other comments on here are just opinion or speculation, but still no need for the aggression really is there?

I personally felt he was annoyed that it was Torp being taken off and not another player - no way would Eccles throw a strop on the field because he wasn't being taken off

May well have been the case

But I'm making it up according to fucking Trigger above

to be fair though, this is still a bit shit isn’t it? not great for team morale if one of your own wants shot of you on the pitch

That said though, however you feel about a decision like that, it’s not great professionalism to have a strop on the pitch. Save it for in private with the manager or coaches.

That may well be the case and maybe unfortunate timing that it happened at the same time as the Torp substitution

But I'm just glad other people saw it

You utter cretin.

not really sure what you mean, but it’s probably an attempt at a humorous insult or something like that….?

And I've said I should have worded it better

But you claiming none of it happened, even though quite a lot of people above are confirming, is you talking out your arse. As usual

Thought both Eccles and Torp did well first 30 minutes. Torp tired fairly quickly. Eccles needs more help in there.

Agree. They were both working hard and I thought had good first half’s. Torp was finished by midway through the second half though.

I mean he was invisible second half like but


I Saw something that absolutely fucking infuriated me today btw

Eccles threw his hands up in a fucking paddy when he saw it was Torp being subbed off, not him

He's Cov kid, and we would all die to be in his position, to wave your arms around and stamp about like a little bitch because he didn't fancy carrying on really fucking grated me

I don't have time for things like that. As I'm sure all of us as fans wouldn't

Raspberry jam, just in case you are wondering.

Blimey. Haven't heard the word pikelets for decades. Do kids know what they are nowadays?

It had been obvious for 15 mins that Torp was done. He looked like he was going to puke after every sprint. Just doesn’t make sense.

He's just about good enough for Southend or Rochdale.

I think today made obvious he’s technically good enough but not physically. Whether that can be addressed or it’s limitations of his body I don’t know.

Not easy to pick a Cov man of the match from the lot today, but if pushed I'd choose Eccles. Gave 100%, made some good tackles, played some good balls, with of course some mistakes.

I thought the hands in the air was the instructions coming in from Allen though. Reading between the lines maybe some instructions from the coaching staff he didn't agree with.
