Bang on. In my 47 years of following the Albion, we have always been a bit powder puff, if I might say so, with a little bit of girliness on occasion, if you don't mind my mentioning it. It would be very pleasing to see the back of that. Apologies for the slight infusion of dialogue from The Shining
We certainly redrumed Forest last night.
At the Amex last night loads of fans whingeing that the forest players were cheating dirty b-****ds who should have got yellow cards for this that and the other.
Go on to the Forest forum and they are saying exactly the same about our players being dirty cheating b*****ds etc etc.
Isn't it a lovely game of totally biased opinions and who'd be a referee.
By the way ....Forest were cheating dirty b*****ds
Same is also true when discussing payroll mistakes!
How would you know [emoji6]
They can be discussed without making them. The key is still that you make them but the process finds the mistakes before they go to the cheques or deposits.
Thanks for the advice [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Skalak should have seen a straight red in the first half. It balances out
skalak and their full back had a right royal tussle and i for one was happy to see him having a go back....not something you would have got from chocolate legs buckley.....i like skalak...
lansbury and manzini could have easily had additional bookings , the former going through the back of kayal , the latter mildly psychotic for most of the 2nd half......i honestly didn't see anything untoward from any of our players.Hastings gull

Absolutely. We all see what we want to when fouls are committed. When watching a match on TV where I have no interest at all in who wins, I am always amazed at how good and fair the ref is.

Skalak pressured his studs down the back leg of his opposite number in one of the incidents. It was a really dumb thing to do. The referee was on the blindside and the linesman didn't catch it. The replay made it pretty clear though.

Am I imagining it but did Sidwell seems to be forever by the side of the ref possibly giving him some stick.WA has said for ages we need a player doing that as we are 'too nice'.

I agree except small periods when we weren't powder puff, 1999-2004 springs to mind. But any period when the Albion has had a successful season, we had a few guys that weren't afraid of putting a challenge in.

At Withdean we had Chippy Oatway and Dodge who could all mix it.

oh well ...i missed that ....i've got it recorded .
This thought seems to be shared by a few here, but it wouldn't be too clever if we'd had a man sent off. We need to stay on the right side of playing tough.

Never impressed me on that score as he was CB and not a good position to put it about. Although he held his own when needed.

Ref was pretty shit, missed clear fouls from both sides. I didn't think either team were really that nasty, Skalak could have seen red for his challenge but although not as bad, their players also put some bad challenges in.
It's football, people got to man the f*ck up.

I thought an obvious 2nd yellow was their no 17 who lost it and was chasing around like a mad man which was unfortunate as he was quite a good player early on.
