Wolves fans getting worked up and asking for retrospective action to be taken.
Thoughts?
Not looking at player, arm moved out to block players run. Little force, neither a swinging rm nor is the arm bent to make the elbow a point.
Maybe Wanky Wanderers fans should reflect that if players get sent off due to one of their little loves making a meal of minimal contact, players are going to think f*ck it - may as well get sent off for actually doing something.
EDIT: In the unlikely event any further action occurs, then we may as well do some real damage. Negan the f*ckers.
He's grabbing his shirt, clear yellow without doubt.
To ask for a red card for that you'd have to be the most biased dick head going.
Their coach,in the BBC match report claims that he caught him with his elbow in the neck,yet the diver was holding his face,and his elbow wasn't anywhere near him
Is that what all the fuss is about?!?! There'd be no one left on the pitch in any match if that was deemed a sending off. Genuinely don't think it's even a yellow. A foul possibly but there is clearly no intent other than to feel where his man was. We see this every game in the penalty area.
If that represents the 'clear foul play' that Wolves fans are complaining about then if they do reach the Prem then they're all going to be apoplectic over for the way the game is played there.
Unless the rule has changed this season, the first reply by Kevin Smyth is right - the ref issued a yellow, so there's no comeback, there would have been if he had said he didn't see the incident.
Anyway, if Wolves took things further and demanded that the incident be seen as something like bringing the game into disrepute, they should be concerned if there is an equivalent to the "frivolous appeal" rule whereby players given red cards have their bans increased for ridiculous appeals against their suspension - maybe they could be docked a point or two?
Wolves player should have been booked for trying to kiss Damours hand .
This was the other side of the pitch to where we were and you should've heard him screaming
Warnocks reaction is amusing too..
Went down like he'd been shot!
Very little in this; Damour wasn't looking at the Wolves player and caught him with a straight arm. Hardly a deliberate elbow.
****ing hell is that all it was judging by what wolves fans are saying I was expecting a massive right hook
Identical challenge by David Luiz a moment ago. Looking the other way, arm out behind, caught Eriksen with his wrist/hand. Yellow card.
The only difference was Eriksen didn't start rolling around on the floor, squealing.
Dangerous reaction from their manager. He is giving his players an excuse to bottle it every week. Refs will see this and take a mental note of our Loics action that was dealt with correctly and theatrics of the Wolves players.
I remember Ronaldos 1st season at Man U, he had a reputation for feigning injury and over acting after the first 6 months and then was kicked to death in the second because the refs were unwilling to give him much.
The last time I remember that level of noise coming from a human being Pavarroti was just finishing off Nessun Dorma! Amazing that you can do that after an arm/elbow/karate chop* (delete as appropriate) to the thoat.
There was definitely a clash of cultures on show yesterday. There seemed a clear expectation from some of the Wolves players that falling the ground during contact should equal a foul. When they were fouled players like Jota and Neves rolled two or threee times for effect. There seems quite a difference between the way the game is played and policed is some parts of the continent than in the Championship with the Premier League probably somewhere in the middle.
They will have to earn the right to play and their coach adapt if they are to see their experiment in importing a latin style, coach and players into second tier english football succeed. Given that they have beaten what look on paper as some of the stronger teams in the division and the coach's record in where he has managed is not shabby then it is possible. They also might want to buy a striker though!
They should get the Warren Commision to look into this, I suspect they might come up with the "magic elbow" theory.
There's more contact in Mothercare and the women in there don't fall on the ground as if dead.
