Picks Sol Bamba in his team of the week, but still has to have a dig at us - pompous dickhead.

Every single one of us has a better clothing style than him, so I wouldn't worry.
I think he literally doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Complete fool of a man.
It's media rules. You can only praise is if you have a dig after.
What is he on about?!
It's annoying seeing us being hated on by the media and pundits but it'll make it ever so sweeter if we can stay up. That'll really piss them all off. Just picture it.. scummy cardiff survive - love this club !
He is quite simply the worst pundit I have ever seen on TV. Tries to be eloquent and thoughtful, and just comes across as thick as pig shit.
Think Chris Eubank.
He said on football focus earlier in the season that Newcastle United could win the Premier League. When his fellow pundits started to laugh he then cane back with.... With the right investment 😀Quote:

How come we're getting blamed for that challenge?
He's absolutely terrible and talks in clichés.Quote:

Would love to see the media reaction had Cunningham made the tackle and been sent off. Deserved red probably for the worst tackle ever seen ala Ralls.
However, Cunningham should’ve known better than to be going for the ball as Stephens flew through the air. How dare he get in the way.
Reading this thread has got me nodding like this.

In fairness his integration of rock and roll elements into the country genre has earned him immense popularity in the United States and he should be at least acknowledged for that.
Dick head indeed. Mud sticks! :angry:Quote:

He also uses his hands for emphasis, leans into the interviewer for dramatic effect, talks in pauses, very quietly as if he has just solved the meaning of life.Quote:

Given that he references awful tackles where Cardiff players have stayed on the pitch I would presume his reference points are the furore around Bennett on Sane and to a lesser extent Arter against Newcastle. I say that because 1) I can't think of any others and 2) I doubt Crooks would have spent a moment watching us unless we were playing against a Premier League team.
I think there has been some reasonable comment on this board about the amount of time other teams spend ganged up in the faces of referees at certain incidents and we have perhaps overplayed the offended innocents watching our response that got one of our key players needlessly cautioned.
But to judge Crooks by his own standards you would expect this man of principle to call out Chelsea the next time they surround a referee given the horrendous assault that Jorginho committed on Sigurdsson yesterday whilst staying on the pitch should he name any of their players in his team of the week.
Interesting that 30% of all of the Red cards this season have been given to sides playing against us.Quote:

Saying that Liam Rosenior after his comments about Cunningham is running him close.
I don't know how he keeps down his job. He doesn't say anything of value whilst trying to sound profound.Quote:

I have seen a number of match reports, blogs and messageboard comments that claim our players surrounded and influenced Martin Atkinson after the Stephens 'tackle' on Cunningham. It didn't happen!Quote:

Gunnar, Ralls and Camerasa are the closest to the ref but none of them are in his face and none of them are remonstrating with him. In fact Gunnar turns away and the other two are 6 feet or more away. The card comes out very quickly based on Atkinson's own (correct) view of what happened.
Paterson definitely gets involved and initiates a scrum of players from both sides pushing and shoving and peacemaking, but that is all directed at Stephens - not the ref. The only time Patto goes near the ref is to receive his telling off and yellow card. However, no doubt the Garth Crooks (and others) version will now become the accepted truth.
Didn’t look to me like our players surrounded the ref, both sets seemed to run toward where the incident happened.
Also the ref seemed to give it very quickly too.
Perhaps ex Spurs player Crooks was having a dig due to Warnock’s comments over Kane.
Also we aren’t a dirty team, only 4 sides have less bookings now.. Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City - all of whom dominate games, so don’t really have to foul, and surprisingly , Newcastle who I though were as dirty as anyone down here.
Given we live off scraps of possession I don’t think those stats indicate a dirty team at all.
Crooks comes across as a bit thick if you ask me
Ralls v Man City maybe, but that was hardly viciousQuote:

If referees, officials and football fans in general keep hearing this stuff over and over, they start believing it.
In a similar but quite different way, the shite that gets talked about how fantastic Liverpool are and have been since time immemorial, even though they have not one a premiership title ever.
A lot of people believe what they are told by these "experts".
However it was nothing compared to the blatant violent kick from the Newcastle player in the same game which went unpunished .Quote:

There is hypocrisy at all clubs - but Crooks really doesn’t have a clue what he’s talking about in this instance as Atkinson produced the red card almost immediatelyQuote:

I thought Brighton were very physical (and that’s being polite as some might say dirty ) and not sure why they had a problem with the red card , he had lost control of the ball and lunged in ...you can only imagine what they would have been saying had it been the other way around !
Also I would love to see how Morrison kept getting head injuries on Saturday, I think must have had treatment 3 or 4 times before having to go off ?
Glad someone brought this up as thought the same when saw it. If anything we don't foul enough. If only people could be questionned on their comments then everyone could see how ridiculous they are
The epitome of lazy journalism.
Probably not watched us much, sees someone say we are a dirty side and that's it.
I think this season we haven't been anywhere near as physical as we should be.
It's not just the pundits either. Having a read of the Brighton forum before and after was a laugh. How they should be beating the worst Premier league team ever.
Billy Big bollocks Brighton ffs, that scrappy little club we played in every division that played for years in a ground resembling that of Leckwith athletics club.
He broke his nose!Quote:

There, that's all I need to know about Cardiff City, they are obviously not up to Premier League standard and are certs to go down - possibly with a lowest ever points total. All of which means that there's no need for me to actually watch anything involving Cardiff other than goals (we all know that there'll be barely any going in the opposition net) and "controversial" incidents."Quote:
