I don't even think Sainz gives a damn where Howson is at that point. I think he's just checking his leg after being hit! Because it's Bobby f*cking Madley!

beardo 4 Posted March 8 Easy to slate the decision with slow motion replays - I was at the game and in real time, real speed it looked to me like Sainz kicked out at Howson. Admittedly we were at the other end so not the clearest view but Beckham 98 came to mind straight away. Immediately thought he was in trouble and the reaction of our players seemed to confirm what happened. Ultimately it's a very soft red but I doubt it will be overturned as the replay can still be interpreted the way the referee did at the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he's that insecure about his weight then he can go on a diet or just learn to accept who he is, the guy who he was mocking can't do anything about his condition and if he thinks it's okay to mock someone like that then I say the fat jokes are fair game. Fat useless ****. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
