The biggest load of claptrap I have ever heard. Couldn't agree more Derry.

I agree with what you are saying but there have been incidents when players have swallowed tongues ect. Problem is there are those that will take advantage and hold up the game.

D'Canio as good as scored, he picked the ball up in front of an empty goal instaed of score. Didn't do him any harm.

I think the emphasis should be on the players to hold their hands up. Remember the cup game a couple of seasons ago ( can't remember who) when the ball was kicked out of play to deal with an injury and the throw wasn't given back and he went on to score ? They then let the other team score straight from a kick off. An incident the other week when a prem player waved away a penalty claim saying no contact was made. Those are the sort of things that should happen more frequently and I'm sure there are many players out there that would own up more often but for the fear of a backlash from their own fans or club in some cases.

I remember far back enough when play used to continue even if a player was down injured. Then it all started to change when (Honduras in a world cup game I think) would kick the ball out of play if a fellow professional got injured. Before long every club in every country would start to adopt this unmade rule. Crowds would applaud the opposition for such sporting behaviour. Nowadays it is just taken for granted and the acholades have stopped. It would be totally unexceptable and frowned upon for an opposition to carry on playing while someones down injured. There is no reason while other parts of the game can't start to create the same kind of unsaid rule.

Interesting one. Personally, if that scenario were to happen, I'd prefer our club to offer a replay. Its similar to the 10 point deduction we received, I'm glad we didn't get it overturned. There is more reward from winning fairly. I bet if Henry had a chance to do that again, he would own up to the ref and admit his handball, after all his has always been one of the more sporting characters of the game. Football keeps getting tarnished and its the players that can put that right. Harry Redkrap was right when he said the players could make the refs job a lot easier.

Have you had a conversation regarding his drinking habits ? I still find it hard to believe if he did have a problem that he would not have been exposed more publicly. ps Burley, not Crouch.

If they are to host world cup games in 2018, wont the stadium require a minimum of 40,000 capacity ?

A trip to Wembley in a game that means something, like a playoff place. I bet you would struggle to remember who won this cup 2 years ago, so little is its importance. Can you imagine telling your kids/grandkids that you saw the mighty Saints play the mighty Acrington Stanley in the paint pot cup in 2010 ? No, I'd be to embarrassed. You pick out Trotman but fail to mention the static Lambert or non existant Hammond. Only two players came out of that game with any credit and thats two players who havn't played many games this season and are fighting for a first team place (Connelly and Thomas). So your theory can be used both ways.

If we had beaten Brighton I think we would have come unstuck against Norwich. Now I`m convinced there will be a back lash and we will beat Norwich. So all in all nothing lost. Another 8 game unbeaten run coming up. Not including meaningless paint pot cup.

Yep, you were watching a different game. The original poster is spot on in my view.

Stick the reserves in. Stupid cup that cost us three points yesterday. All the previous talk about losing will end our run and knock our confidence is rubbish. It wont knock the confidence of the players that are rested. I still believe we can make the play offs, but the longer we play in this cup using our best eleven players the less likely it will happen. I hope we put the reserves out for the next round, if not then I hope we get knocked out.

They all looked knackered today except Connolly. But some will still rather win the JPT than make the playoffs.

got a feeling it will end all square....boooooo 2 v 2. They have already drawn away to an inform at the time Bristol Rovers and Millwall.

yep

Only time I`m interested in England games is during the summer when our season has finished. Its a pointless game for the fans, but maybe good for the team.:smt102

Your the only one that bit.

It could open the door for the return of Lowe.

If it aint broke dont fix it.

;)

I think he will be back of to Reading, be a shame to loose him.

Totally agree.

Anyone else getting long pauses ?

Thanks.
