edson Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 The officials were rubbish. This is Adebola (legs top of screen) as the ball was played before he scored a goal that was disallowed for offside: Bloody homers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Sadly the officials don't have the benefit of action reply or even freeze frame. But hey! 3-0 or 4-0 away is still the same three points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edson Posted August 24, 2008 Author Share Posted August 24, 2008 I'm only poking fun at Coleman for being an arse. They did very well throughout and I actually thought Brooker was off until I saw the replay on the big screen, so fair play to them. The highlights just show how pathetic Coleman is for getting his knickers in such a twist over the 'penalty' and the subsequent freekick for the foul on Maynard. Both were absolutely correct decisions and Coleman should apologise. He won't, of course. But he should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the "Respect" campaign, it will be interesting to see what action the FA take against him as his actions completely undermine what they are trying to achieve. Good job his players are more disciplined than him. I actually like the bloke, I do wonder what pressure he is under from their new board to perform.

Percy Parrot Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I like Coleman too. Shame to hear him rant like that really. I always think it's a shame when a manager's (wrong by the sounds of it) comments take the headlines and not the game. That's what really annoyed me after the Play-Off first leg - the press didn't focus on a good football game, it didn't worry about two great goals or a fantastic occasion - it was all about Warnock spouting off (about refs, celebrations blah blah). Whether it makes it better or worse Warnock's comments were calculated and all for a purpose (advantage for 2nd leg) and you could see that by his far better behaviour, attitude and humility at AG. Coleman's seem born out of frustration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only seen the penalty claim on World and I'm bound to say I think we got lucky there. As for his comments regarding our first goal (on Championship Goals) I'm afraid that was his sphincter talking, the only person to blame for that situation was his goalie clattering into Dele and his own defender ... probably a penalty to us if we hadn't netted anyway.

Yes - all the match reports for this game focus on the "controversial" goal where our forward gave their keeper a concussion and a broken finger. Let's ignore the fact that it was an accident and as much their defender that clattered into their keeper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xerox6060 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Very poor response from Coleman, he said he had seen Phil Dowd have some good games but this was poor, so what, ref's are like players, sometimes good sometimes bad just get on with it.

Roe Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Chris Coleman is a complete pillock. I've seen the highlights countless times now and his comments are laughable. I hope the FA and the League come down hard on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezgimed Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I always found his rants hilarious, since that Fulham game at Boro a few years back where he waited till the final whistle to spit his gum out and walk like a wide boy to have a go at the ref!
