Holgate

[S64 Blade]

With any luck he’ll be banned for the season.

 

[bertieblade]

Can anyone explain what we had to gain by signing him? Money spent could have been used to build a squad for next season in the championship, bring in a development player or improve the contracts of those that we want to stay .

 

[Blade56]

Get used to cr@p signings now Wilders back

 

[Nick Jansky]

This player has been brought in by the manager who wasted wages on Ravel Morrison & Jack Rodwell.

 

[Bladesince59]

Sums Wilder up to a tee. Both wankers

 

[Russ]

Total embarrassment. Didn’t see it clearly at the time from the South Stand but he’s let everyone down with that today. Should be deducted two weeks wages. He won’t care. That’s pin money for todays modern day footballer.

Send him back I’d rather one of the young kids be in the team that that knob head.

 

[cahill]

And the fans boo Mitoma

Well we are football fans

 

[Edinblade]

Was a messy tackle but not worth a red.
Games gone mad.

So you’d be happy to see that kind of tackle every week on our players? It was a straight red all day long.

In fairness, I'd argue that off the top of my head, Brentford got away with at least a couple worse.

 

[Toronto Blade]

He apologized to the players Wilder said the club will probably fine him

The Brentford one was much worse but little old Sheffield United don't get that decision despite the fact it could have broken Souza's leg. Not even sure the player got booked nevermind a free kick.

The ref already carded Holgate but VAR was right on it with this one.

 

[Slim Man]

Hope we can appeal

 

[Slim Man]

His best apology would be to tear up his contract and go back to Finch Farm on Monday

They’re all reds. Doesn’t make this one less of one

 

[Slim Man]

Deserves an extra ban for it.

We aren’t that lucky

 

[blademan31]

Can see what he's trying to do... Win the ball with his right foot and follow through but he's missed the ball entirely with his right foot so it looks awful.

I get he's trying to make a mark and rough up the opposition but he's let us down badly today

 

[Foxy]

Didn’t say it did, just pointing out that we have been unhappy with worse/similar tackles that haven’t all resulted in reds.

I’d agree, but Pittsburgh’s point is a shocker. Anyone saying this isn’t a red is way off the mark

 

[Mag-83]

Wilder should accept his apology and send him back. He’s shit anyway.

 

[Edinblade]

That doesn’t make Holgate’s tackle any better. I would cancel his loan now, he’s worse than useless.

 

[Not_a_Cheat]

If we can get out of this loan deal all the better. He should never play for us again. Disgusting. And he has form for this. Worldwide fans are saying should not play again this season. I agree

 

[Carlton Blade]

I had a look at the tackle from different angles, with the theory:

Did Mitoma get a slight touch on the ball first, causing Holgate to kick only air and therefore hit Mitoma with far more force than he intended?

But it seems Mitoma did not get a touch on the ball...

In the stadium, you saw him pause slightly to try and make sure that rather than just winning the ball, he'd take the man too. He's an idiot. Hopefully it's not part of a team wide plan to "let them know you're there". The game doesn't allow that anymore

 

[Rochdaleblade]

People made similar comments about Brewster after his sending off, but he was back today making another ineffective cameo role.

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Our players don’t have the ball long enough to be tackled like that

 

[Slim Man]

He’s wank that’s why

 

[Balham]

In fairness, I'd argue that off the top of my head, Brentford got away with at least a couple worse.

As I said on the other thread, Onyeka's assault on Vini remains the worst tackle I've seen this season.

 

[Rochdaleblade]

He’s wank that’s why

I know. He has done fuck all in four years.

 

[Pintor75]

I'm hoping for 13 game ban so we don't have to

 

[The Crab]

I’ve just seen the tackle.

100% red card

 

[Rochdaleblade]

I would appeal, just so he gets another game ban.
