[Albion] Matt O Riley [26/08/24 - sings on a 5-year deal]

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

It’s shit and a really shit tackle. But was it worth risking a new signing two days after he’s signed?

A lesson learnt maybe for Fab or even the club if there was any pressure.

It was clear he was being brought in specifically for a role that no one else in the club can currently fill. Why risk him against league 1 Crawley in a nothing game.

Hindsight I think

 

[Super Sub]

Gutted about this… Seems a really decent lad.

Quite how that lump got away with kicking the hell out of half of the team is beyond me. That smirk after the tackle really gets my goat too. Horrible player, horrible club.

How the ref didn‘t book that **** for thuggery pisses me off

"...couldn't get any weight on his ankle" - not 'foot'.
Not great...

Who did he give the interview to? In the Sky interview he doesn’t say that!

 

[Flounce]

f*** off with that spelling of O’Riley

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Just as irrelevant as their Manager’s apology.

Shouldn't it be the twat that made the tackle then laughing about it apologising ?

Hindsight is a wonderful thing

Just as irrelevant as their Manager’s apology.

He can f*** off with his apology, he didn’t stop his team of dirty animals challenging like that all game, clearly it was planned and all the players were wound up to challenge like that from the start - Baleba and Ayari incredibly lucky not to suffer the same injury as O’Riley.

****.

Managers can give interviews to different members of the press.

They can speak to them too.

They can also do an interview and then speak to a player and then do another interview knowing new information.

A league cup game is a perfect introduction for a player, to get used to playing with his new teammates in a game that we should win, and won't cost us league points. We've played loads of teams below us in the leagues (and plenty above us when we were in the lower leagues), and they're just normal games of football. Williams is a ****. We were not to know Crawley would play like that.

Did you say that before the match?

Indeed.

Props to whomever did this:

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Crawley fans on the London train saying Williams is not the regular skipper and he was brought in solely to "reduce" our players. Which he did very effectively. Was playing non league two years ago (and tonight).

Looks like Albion fans have been on his wiki page. It states that he is a mixed martial artist.

Sh*t club thinking they're far bigger than they are. The sooner we get the women out of that lame excuse for a stadium the better.
Absolute run down hole. Had the misfortune to work in Crawley for years, even witnessing a few lads armed with knifes (taken from a cafe) chasing others through the town.
Seems the thuggery is embedded as a whole.
I'm sure the conference will come calling soon.
Hope our lad recovers soon and the guy that did it sees karma very soon.

I’m pretty sure Sky get the first post match interview.

No, he’s a ****

If that's true, it makes a mockery of Lindsey's apology.

 

[Weststander]

Did he go straight down the tunnel?

Williams did too when subbed, not injured.

To avoid a WSL reaction, or to find O’Riley?

Indeed.

Agreed. It's the sort of match that is a good introduction and he was fit to play too.
