Back of the Dolman Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Just another example of the poor on field behaviour in the current game. its about time the football authorities stamped out this rubbish ! from the dissent to the feigning of injury to behaviour like this, it has made the modern game an embarrassment and gives so much ammunition to the football haters. 8 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im pretty sure he will be getting a lengthy ban for this. Mental thing is some West Brom fans on twitter are defending him saying the Mallorca player hit him first……but they are ignoring the fact that Molumby aims a “headbutt” to begin with! Proper odd behaviour, must be something else going on with him to snap like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s non-contact and no bad behaviour you want played by wholesome, Christian middle to upper class lads then Chess is a good alternative. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I didn’t defend anything but it happens in football and rugby too for that matter. Players lose their rag and mass indignation by 20 people on here ain’t changing it. That’s the sport people pay money to watch, deal with it. The vast majority of us on here who played the game probably got sent off at least once in their life for something they later thought “how big a **** was I?”…….luckily for us we weren’t playing at a level where people are calling for Police intervention and bollocks like that (read the replies on X).

Yes I’m not as bothered about that original video, these things do happen and getting to that level is rare. My main gripe are the other issues around the game that I mentioned such as the feigning injury and dissent because they happen every game, usually multiple times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it’s the worst thing that’s happened in the world this week. But equally I don’t get people seeing that and then just trying to brush it off as ‘part of the game’. It ain’t. Of course it's part of the game because it's happened before, it's happening now and it'll happen again - guaranteed. An unsavoury part but a part nonetheless. These young lads generally learn their lesson by being banned for matches and then in some cases taking a month or two to get back into the side. That type of things tends to increase the maturity levels and the associated discipline on the pitch but let's not pretend that some young lads playing a professional sport at a high level that requires an aggressive mindset won't make a bad rick now and again. Let's not be daft and think that ALL young lads can be easily coached to maintain control and discipline under all provocation. It's not Crown Green Bowling and these things happen whether they are right, wrong, badly wrong, disgraceful or indifferent. A lot of things are said and done on a football pitch as the game is unfolding that you or I sat in the crowd aren't party to and whilst most players have it under control some need to learn that control. Sometimes you have to explain to a young kid that the opposition Centre Half ISN'T REALLY shagging his missus and that he could have ignored that particular comment rather than going in studs up next tackle.................I've seen it, heard it etc. along with many others on this forum.

We suffered from it a few times! *Bailey Wright- Alleged simulation, 2 Games. *Diedhiou- Alleged spitting at an opponent- 6 Games. *Sykes copped a 4 game ban post Swansea Away in Spring 2023.
