Frutos

[Barrel of Fun]

One thing that puzzles me is a lot of the ball given to Frutos is in the air. It is perfectly clear that he is useless in the air and more of a threat when played on the deck. I think he only got it once or twice to his feet.

He is not the first to be sent off for leading with the arm and won't be the last.

CLEAR RED , STUPID BOY

Because of the stupid rules it was a red card, however I just wish that the powers that be would just accept that in a contact game sometimes people will get injured.

This was the same thing as that Man City player against Reading the other week who also got a red, just a case of players trying to get as much leverage as possible and protecting themselves. Not an aggressive elbow where a player looks at his opponent, sizes him up and cracks him in the chops!

Mans game, lets just get on with it

Frutos is absolute crap this season.

There's no way on current form he should be in the squad.

 

[Ian Bairds Fist]

What a load of bollocks, whoever the manager is I'll support this club through thick and thin. What kind of example is that?!

Exactly. Spot on mate.

 

[portslade seagull]

happened right in front of me a definite red card..he knew what he was doing

Its just a symptom of the current standard of our play. The ball is incessantly punted aimlessly down the flanks in the hope of turning their fullback and winning a throw-in, then carrying on from there. We don't have a functioning midfield capable of dropping off, finding some space and stringing some passes together, so thats what we have to resort to.

As for the red - he had to go. Little chance of winning the ball, and he led with his elbow. No complaints.

So fans Can vote with their feet over MM, but not over DW?

What is the point of boycotting? Mcghee has gone it is time for him to face up to it, and put his arse on a seat and support this club, instead of acting like a **** with no heart.

 

[Gritt23]

There was never any doubt it was going to be a red. The correct decision, and a moment of stupidity from Frutos.

Should the same be said for everyone who didnt go because MM was manager then?

Dont f***ing ever try and tell me how to support my football team again.

So that is a example is it?

 

[British Bulldog]

Didnt go mate, still boycotting after the McGhee fiasco./B]

Then dont come back crying when the Albion slip down the league's & go out of buisness, as some are predicting because of lack of crowds & investment.

And relax..... Having to take that from KTA is ridiculous. Ive been through heaven and hell with this club having worked at The Albion during the Archer/Belotti days and watching them at the FA Cup Final and the 2 play-off finals. Surely Ive got a right to support the team or show my disapproval in anyway I choose (bar barracking the staff during games which is something I would never condone), being told how to support my team by a boy who'd probably walk straight past Archer or Belotti in the street without even knowing it is a tad annoying to say the least.

We're all suffering Chez. Its the Albion after all

Goes with the territory I suppose!

Frutos is not a header of the ball (or indeed the greatest exponent of the tackle). He is supposed to be our creative player (but far from it on current form). It was right in front of me, and you could see him getting riled by the game situation, and for a split second he forgot the reasons why he doesn't tackle or go for headers. Could just see it in his eyes as he ran for the inevitable red card.

Don't think it was elbow, more of an accidental forearm smash, but you knew it was going to be red.

Correct decision, but I don't think there was any malice in it.

Jumping for headers practice for the next 3 weeks. Bring on the next youngster..........
