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

[Clive Walker]

Classic NSC. People going against the grain for the sake of it. It was a poor challenge that probably deserved a red and an act of thuggery. Now time to get over it and hope he gets karma.

Even got people comparing Williams (a centre back) and his disciplinary record to 2 of our former central midfielders My word some people really don’t get the game / have never played the game properly. No point in even arguing with them.

he's a midfielder!

 

[ChickenBaltiPie]

I doubt you are really an Albion fan

Carry on but I’ll be ignoring anything you post from now.

He’s Palace. He’s definitely not a BHA ‘supporter.’ He’s a plague of negativity and confrontation on NSC. Save your breath.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Anyone saying that useles thug didn’t mean to take him out has never played football at any sort of reasonable level. He may as well have walked around the Amex with a sign up saying “I’m going to show these talented lads by clattering them as I’m immensely jealous of them because they’re much better football players, infinitely richer and better looking than me. They probably have much bigger dicks too. I’ll take one of them out early on, that’ll teach ‘em.”

That beyond shit Crawley ‘player’ has nothing else to his game. He’s a talentless **** who has to take out his lack of ability and self worth on other far superior players. ****.

 

[Ethelwulf]

So any updates on potentially how long he might be out for ?

 

[London Irish]

Anyone can think of similar ankle surgeries and their timeframes? Does it tend to be a 3 6 or 12 month thing?

So I’m Palace am I?

You absolute clown.

What are 'similar ankle surgeries'?

We have no information on the nature of the injury, do we?

Could be anything from a tiny hairline fracture, through to a completely detached / ruptured set of ankle ligaments

 

[Shaktarman]

He’s predominantly a centre back. Was playing CB the other night too I believe - certainly on the foul shoots up as the deepest player. Didn’t take much notice though.

We stand to lose one season of O’Riley (£5m) and the sale of Gilmour (£15m).
£20million……an expensive tackle!

Gilmour won't be going anywhere (well not after this news anyway)

 

[pigmanovich]

That's the point, O'Riley's injury has ruled out Gilmour's sale.

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

Oh sorry! Haha. Well we can afford it thanks to the way we've been run the last few years.

 

[Deportivo Seagull]

As with all things there needs to be some context, which in this case would be 1) Type of game (league or cup) 2) quality of the team 3) when the offence occurred. In this case it’s a cup game where a lower league team uses physicality to make up for lack of ability and it was first 10 mins where you would expect ’hard’ challenges to go in. So far it would appear to be one of those things.
however adding a bit more context of 4) players history, 5) type of challenge 6) players reaction then it changes things massively.
Williams has history of being a bellend, he wasn’t beaten by pace or skill so knew he wasn’t going to be anywhere near the ball and that it was a potential leg beaker. This wasn’t down to a mistimed tackle or down to lack of experience, it was thuggery. The final point is the ‘wink‘ when it was clear to all that it was a bad injury. There is no defence for that type of behaviour.

So in summary, the man’s a **** and deserves nothing but condemnation.

 

[Hiheidi]

Yep all that we can hope for is that shit ref won't be reffing any premier league games.

His name is Alex Chilowicz and he's on VAR this weekend for Leicester v Villa.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Ref awarded a free-kick, and had a very brief word with Williams. So, will rpobably be classed as the ref saw it, deemed it to be a foul - but not a cardable one. In which case, there won't be any retrospecitve action.

So how do you explain the Hemed 'after the fact' 3 match ban? The ref saw it, gave a foul but not a card, and later there was retrospective action.

Perhaps he has confused Palace with Palestine.

No-one on here knows what the exact injury is, let alone exactly what surgery is needed or how long before he’s back. Fab has already said they don’t know how long it’ll be. As usual with our injured players, expect to hear very, very little until he’s seen back at Lancing in the gym with a smiley photo.

Who knows!

Hemed got his retrospective three-match ban before that nasty VAR came in, when there were rules allowing retrospective bans. Since that nasty VAR that causes all the problems in the game has come in, there are no retrospective bans.
This applies to the PL, where we have that nasty VAR, but I'm not sure of the rules in other competitions -- although multiple posters have posted links indicating that there are no retrospective bans in this cup.
