Its all about consistency, what's the betting one of our players goes shoulder to shoulder with someone tonight and gets sent off.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

For the millionth time, stamping on a players knee while he's on the ground isn't hard, tough or 'blood & thunder'. It's the actions of a cowardly little sissy - far more 'modern day' than anything you're complaining about

A big Centre forward barging the goalkeeper in to the back of the net while he is holding the ball is one thing, stamping on someone in a way that could have resulted in a career threatening injury is quite another.

I would agree with those that said that saturday's match was one of the most enjoyable I have ever been to - mostly down to the football we played.
But part of that enjoyment was the pantomime Villain of Barton and the voicing of one's opinion to the ref of the ref.
But Pantomime Villain is not the right term. Barton is an unreconstructed thug and should have been sent off - twice.

Thanks for all the comments....I probably didn't word the original post as well as I might (I blame Old Speckled Hen) but it's good to see a lot of support for my main argument.
3 pts tonight please chaps and let's show a bit of old fashion grit.

I take back the palarce troll comment
I also grew up watching players like Jimmy Case clattering someone on the halfway line and then pulling the fella to his feet via his permed hair
Barton should be sectioned under the mental health act tho
Indeed, I've just read through the thread and was going to post the same.
I am still confused about Saturday and Barton not getting even a yellow, only because of the other game against Burnley when we had two sent off.
I would really like to see a video of the Barnes sending off that day to compare it with the Barton stamp, from what I remember Barnes was fouled and as he came down he landed on the Burnley player.

Thanks Simmo. I would post more but don't want to hog the limelight. 35 posts a year is plenty. It's all the access I get in the Strangeways IT room.!!

And then the Burnley player had his hands around Barnes neck. The ref is a cheat that is all there is to it.

Another palarce troll then
325 posts in more than ten years have you been in prison
If you only include school holidays then the posts per year increases significantly
Yes I forgot about the hands around the neck.
The ref is a cheat and useless.

Back to the OPs original question.... Yes, we are. Applauding the away fans, being too hospitable generally. On the pitch though, CH's influence is a good one, generally no play acting, no moaning about refs decisions or bad tackles.
