Report in Peterborough newspaper

[Jesus Gul]

Can't remember reading a more bitter and subjective report from a so-called 'professional' journalist.

F*cking hilarious.

yes there is a slight undercurrent of bitterness there

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Joe Lewis has been very complimentary and fair. Perhaps he has eyes on a ticket for the Gus Bus.

"SEAGULLS dumped all over the Posh"

Childish but funny

Calderon don't seem to have many fans up there, what did he actually do wrong. All I heard about was Poyet saying he had a big cut on his foot

We can definitely find him a seat.

He was quality. A few around us, in the seats clapped him off at the end. Glad we did.

he went down poleaxed from an elbow from Lee but when he didn't get a free kick he jumped straight up as if nothing had happened.

Just a little bit naughty

In the first half, Lee went right through him [already on a yellow] and Calde stayed down. He was up a minute later and scored. They thought he was play acting, although the stitches suggest otherwise.

then in the second half, he went down holding his face. looked like he took a careless hand, rather than a deliberate elbow. Anyway, we kicked the ball out, then he got up without treatment. [They didn't give us the ball back] From then on, they all booed, and we all cheered, every time he touched it.

Shame he missed a big chance at the end. they would have LOVED it if he'd scored again.

I was just thinking about that earlier. January might not be a bad time for us to try and nab a couple of players good enough for the Championship. They have seen how it's going, how the team are playing, and that we're a club on the up. It's much easier to reinforce from a position of relative strength than when you're desperate.

Annoying Spaniard Calderon

So annoying you'd love him in your team...

The reporter moans about Calderon rolling around like he'd been shot - but according to The Sun, Calde needed seven stitches from all the fouling...

Peterborough 0 Brighton 3 | The Sun |Sport|Football

GUS POYET has hit out at the rough-house tactics being used against his table-topping Seagulls.
And the former Chelsea and Spurs star said: "I said on Thursday that I want a strong referee.
"That's what everyone is talking about in the Premier League - protecting the teams and players who want to play football."
Ref Gary Sutton sent off Posh's George Boyd but was remarkably lenient towards team-mate Charlie Lee, who waged a one-man war.
Left-back Lee saw yellow rather than red for poleaxing Ashley Barnes with a forearm smash - then set about stopping Inigo Calderon at all costs.
Spanish defender Calderon, 28, had the scars to show as the Seagulls soared eight points clear.
He said: "I have my boot cut, I have a hole in my foot that needed six or seven stitches.
"I spoke to the referee because the left-back made two, three, four, five fouls, maybe a yellow card and the he didn't do anything."
Poyet added: "To get that cut on the top of the foot that Calderon got is wrong.
"When the player who has done it is risking breaking your foot and maybe putting you out for a while - that's why I wanted a strong referee."
Even Posh keeper Joe Lewis admitted: "We lost our heads a bit and made a few rash tackles."
Gary Johnson's fast-fading side could not cope with Brighton's polished diamond formation.
And Lewis added: "They're the best team we've played this season in terms of the total football they play."
Barnes scored with a close-range header before Boyd was dismissed on fourth official Mark Sutton's say-so for a retaliatory kick at the goalscorer behind the ref's back.
Lewis saved Elliott Bennett's penalty before Calderon stabbed home a second. But the keeper, who also made a string of world-class saves to prevent a rout, was beaten by Barnes' second-half spot-kick.
Posh face another big test at Walsall tomorrow and Johnson warned: "The players have got to step out of their comfort zone and make something happen. They need to get out of the hole they're in.
"But it's difficult in just two days to turn yourselves from Rag-a**e Rovers to Real Madrid."

That's the way forward... putting pressure on the refs to be protective seems to work a treat for the teams at the top of the Premier League. Hopefully, with the weak-minded numpties we have to put up with officiating in League One, nobody will be able to even breathe on our players for the rest of the season.

 

[Mendoza]

that is brilliant

I think Gus's approach is worth a try. At the very least, you get to occupy moral high ground, which is very pleasing even if it doesn't give you an advantage.

Not sure about what you say, though. Only Wenger has tried the same approach as Gus - asking for protection because of playing tidy football, rather than 'because we're good and everyone wants to stop us'. And Arsenal have still been kicked over the park week in and week out. (though it looks like they've manned up a bit this season).

I'm also a potential admirer of young Joe ... but probably not always a good decision to sign someone simply on the strength of one performance against us, no matter how wordly?

I've read several Posh message boards, and listened to blogs, this weekend ... and it's odd how many posh supporters are not raving about him?

Even the newspaper report that started this thread quotes " .. Joe Lewis, a far better keeper when he's busy .."
Suggests to me that maybe there are a few question marks about his usual keeping?

No question marks about his post match assessments though!
