Elbow on alonso

[chrisbonnie]

am i the only to have noticed that blatant cowardly elbow on alonso?

[NoelM]

I saw it, you can see the intent on his face too. I think he should have been sent off for it.

It was more of a clothesline, hopefully (but i doubt it) the FA will pick up on it.

[Guest bigf00t]

i accidently posted my motd commentating thread on the general forum...

 

and the commentating while their showing the replay is a joke... you can tell its intentional.

[chrisbonnie]

the cunt has to get at least a 3 game ban for it, such a pussy act to do on the pitch

[The Chief]

The commentator on sky, Ian Darke i think it was, was absolutely useless he kept calling Alonso, Aurelio, he got mixed up between Dirk and Stevie G??? AND the fucking idiot called the elbow by Mackay an accident, Accident, imo it was completely intentional, as was said above you could SEE the intent on the horrible little shithouse twats face

The ref missed it, the commentators missed it in normal time and in replay chose to ignore it. If it gets reviewed he's on a 3 match ban. Deffo violent conduct. Total cockhead.

[Carradona]

I didnt see it at first and thought it was going to evoke the whole "Does Alonso dive?" debate again. Was a definate elbow.

It was a shit house thing to do, if he did that in an amatuer game he wouldn't have been able to walk off the pitch. It was obviously blatant and I'm suprised Bellamy didn'y kick up more of a fuss as it seemed he saw what happened.

It was a blatant elbow as far I could see, and he tried to tell the ref he clipped him with his shoulder.

 

Ian Darke is perhaps the worst football commentator on Sky. He should've stuck to boxing.

 

I had to specify Sky as I believe no-one comes close to Tony Gubba's shitness.

[Newport]

His punishment is playing for the most shit side since Swindon was up some years ago.

It was an old pro's trick - Tommy Smith, Ron Harris and others did it two or three times a match in the old days. Billy Bremner did it two or three times a match but that was at knee-height. Very cowardly, and supposedly outlawed decades ago, but still blatantly ignored. Several times yesterday that baby-faced linesman seemed to ignore obvious fouls that the ref didn't see, as well as about ten foul throws (why is it that you're always penalised for foul throws at other levels but it's ignored in the Premiership?).

Yesterday Mackay also raised the question "When was the last time you saw such an inept performance from an alleged professional sportsman?" - he was poor to such an extent that I was getting frustrated with him - dog alone knows what the Watford fans were thinking.

 

Plus he clotheslined Xabi, and we can't stand for that.

Yeh, Sponge-neck should have had his hat-trick yesterday. He had so much space as Mackay just left him in the box.

[bigredruss]

i wonder if we email the fa they would take it up. cunt deserves the ban as it was cowardly attack, if you want to hit someone at least have the balls to do it to his face

[RoboRiise]

I though this was going to be an article by the popular Bury-based beat ensemble praising the majestic passing of our Basque playmaker.

[Captain]

I too saw the elbow. I think it was Drewy who mentioned in the match thread.

 

It's a red card.

 

It never seizes to amaze how some players have the audacity to complain to the ref after having done something like that. Have they no shame?
