Has ever so much been made of something so little?

[itsinyerblood]

One of my favourite players,the story of when he went to play in Italy and before his debut,the opposition hard man was spouting off what he was going to do to Souness,5 minutes into the game the hard man was being carried off on a stretcher

As I wrote Fred, Souness knew how to intimidate, and did so with a level of nous and sometimes thuggery that I sometimes viewed his approach to the game with disdain. But the compensation was the way he could take a hold of the midfield, make reasonable players turn into good, sometimes great, players, and he made Liverpool a winning team that won the lot! I recalled Alan Hansen commenting, half jokingly, that he was pleased the day Souness left Liverpool as it finally allowed him the chance to actually take the ball out of defence rather than have Souness demand it and leave Hansen and Lawrenson (a superb player in his own right) to look on as Souness worked his magic as Liverpool attacked.

Looked pretty harmless to me. Just slapped him with his arse that's all.

'Slapped his arse'...we've found are culprit!

C'mon! I mean, what's the game coming to when you can't tackle with your arse?

Perhaps it was from the train wreck performance.

It was a bit robust but if he's injured, it's more bad luck than anything else. It certainly wasn't a leg breaker kind of challenge. I'm not that interested in Parky's whinging when I've seen one of his players pick one of ours up and dump the little sod on his head. Fuck Bolton and their fucking squealing. It's a physical game and if you set out to make it a battle don't start crying when your players get hurt.

Come to think of it, wasn't that moaning twat Parky manager of Bradford when this happened?...

Is there any footage anywhere of this challenge?

Not been funny but if he'd have controlled the ball we wouldn't be discussing this. Couldn't trap a bag of sand by the looks of things...

Outside his hospital room window as we speak

Not a pretty challenge but his arms don't go up. I thought it might be a red at the time. All Bolton's moaning since the game aside, I'm not surprised if he's a bit fragile after that one.

Hardly touched him

Self inflicted whiplash from the dive I say

Hmm I'm guessing the office filter has blocked it. I'll have to have a gander when I'm at home.

It's a 70/30 yellow card.
Some refs would have given a red but most refs would give a yellow.

Factors that could have influenced the ref to give would a red are if;
Bolton were the home team or
Bolton were on top and bossing the game or if
Bolton players swarmed around the ref and their player kept rolling around like he's been shot.

To be fair to Fleck it looks more clumsy than malicious/ dangerous.

Dont think ive ever heard such a set of whinning bastards in all my days.Its a contact sport live with it

Meanwhile Parky explains it again to his back room team....

I thought that was our transfer committee from last season.

Looks like they've all come down with the "We Are Outraged That They Beat Us So We'll Throw Any Shit Out There That Distracts From Our Own Gaping Shortcomings" Syndrome.

See Coventry for details.

No need, I've used my skills as a Photoshop wizard to recreate the moment perfectly

It's all deflection.
They know they have screwed this season and will not be going up so it's all an exercise in making something else the focus of people's angst.
Bolton will fade from now on if this is the attitude they have and the behaviour they exhibit.

Expect them to struggle against Rovers toneet.

Hope so. Really hope Rovers smash them into little pieces, then flush the little pieces down the shitter.

In fact, Rovers are one of the few sides with supporters capable of being gracious in defeat so I'd be quite pleased if they went up with us.

Deserved it for "that" barnet.

 

[Roygbiv]

It's a clumsy challenge and a clear booking. It's hardly Schumacher v Battiston

 

[knowsnowt]

Thread title takes me back to what our lass said when she finally let me shag her.

 

[UnitedBlade]

Some refs would have given red. Thank god he didn't as we'd have lost Fleck for 3 games.

It was actually an unnecessary challenge in the middle of the pitch, we need to avoid those, we don't want to be losing any key players in the run in.

 

[Blend-it-like-Harris]

This "fake news" stuff is really catching on; I guess Parky and their Chairman, plus the Bolton press must all have been to Trump's business strategy seminars on "How to create the truth"

 

[Dnblade]

At least the lad had a reason to fall over,unlike the rest of them who fell over for no reason other than in the safe knowledge the Ref would give them a Free kick.
