Do they pay him for it? Or is more care in the community?
Did Timmy make reference to Stockdale going the wrong way for the penalty...?
I can almost understand the fans on their forum bleating about the red card, mainly because most of them seem so thick (see "MK fans TV" for further reading). But for the manager to say the things he has and for the club actually to go as far as appealing it defies belief. I can only guess that they did it as they had nothing to lose by doing so at this stage of the season.......... but REALLY?!
Everyone knows that it's almost impossible to get a red card overturned in the Championship. Just look at the Murphy slip which was obvious on first viewing of a replay but was still upheld. In this case even they've even admitted that it was at least a yellow (so he'd have gone anyway) so how exactly did they think an appeal was going to work?
What a complete bunch of twats.

What baffles me is why they're so convinced. It was an absolutely blatant and cynical elbow, 15 yards from the ref. They're saying he hesitated and got intimidated by our away fans, but he blew straight away and reached for his pocket almost immediately. I don't think he was in any doubt of what happened. It's not one of those "orange" card situations, he smashed him off the ball and it's a clear red.
On the other hand, their penalty was at best a mistake by the lino, at worst an outright guess, who Stephens has since quoted as saying he couldn't tell who'd handballed it. They don't seem to be discussing that at all, just suggesting Stockdale should be sent off for holding onto the ball after their goal (??), and McFadzean shouldn't have been sent off for an elbow to the head.
Peculiar club. I guess it's interesting to see that one-eyed bias is something fans of every club have in common.

Nah, you're alright.
Sorry Tim, tried my best to double the readership.

I particularly enjoy the fact that one of those goons most vehemently opposed to McFadzean's sending off sits in "Club Red". Perhaps he can invite that carthorse to sit with him while he serves his ban.

I've just seen this on the Dongs forum.
While I'm not sure where his future lies in Albion terms, I hope we don't sell him to them, just because they clearly love him and it'll annoy them (even more than failing with an injury time penalty did).

Not such player identification this week I grant you.
In English ?
Not to mention
Albion scored their first ever goals at Milton Keynes as Tomer Hemed netted a brace from the bench.
Must have been hell of a couple of shots from there
Hemed could have had a hat-trick but pulled a close-range shot wide from another Skalak cross.
Wasn't it LuaLua's cross, or was there another?
The assistant a late replacement, twirled his flag instead of placing it across his chest
There's no such signal in the FIFA guidelines.
The FA used the flag across the chest signal until 2014, when they reverted to the normal FIFA guideline

Was right infront of me.
Deliberate with intent to get a reaction and get Hemed sent off. Back fired.

Just as well you make up for your lack of player identification skills with a superb command of how to write a coherent sentence.
