cambridgeshire canary 6,762 Posted March 7 (edited) Could try and act professional rather than giggling like a schoolgirl. Very childish reaction from someone who claims to be a seasoned pro and captain of the club. Edited March 7 by cambridgeshire canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Smith 2,335 Posted March 7 Is it me being biased or is there an implicit admittance there that he got him sent off? Admitting there was minimal contact and then saying: ”some of them have told me they would have done the same…..” 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,673 Posted March 7 Still a stupid challenge - if Sainz didn’t do his bit, there’d be no reaction for him to make and we’d be sat here talking about a win. It’s all down to Sainz for me, I’m afraid. Howson is pretty much just confirming he’s a professional footballer. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's Character Forming 1,164 Posted March 7 Stupid reaction by Sainz, but players vary in how they respond to that sort of thing and Howson has just gone down in my respect for his poor reaction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Channon’s Windmill 327 Posted March 7 Howson never was the true club man. Webbers comments when we sold him. "We spoke with Jonny about a new contract but he was insistent. At the training camp this week he didn’t train properly and didn’t act in the manner that a professional should so it was decided he should train alone. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DraytonBoy 159 Posted March 7 The only reason I can see for the red card not being rescinded is Sainz had already been warned following his reaction to the Ayling tackle, much will depend on what is in the referee's report. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Paddons Beard 2,435 Posted March 7 (edited) Howson says it all. Minimal contact. Endangering an opponent ? Pull the other one ! Edited March 7 by Graham Paddons Beard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
astro 366 Posted March 7 He keeps saying he ‘kicked out’ - even his local radio station interviewer doesn’t believe him! You could see what his and Ayling’s game plan was from kick off. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Admitting there was minimal contact and then saying: ”some of them have told me they would have done the same…..” Sadly that's the name of the game these days. I think we've had another thread on cheating, etc. Playacting to get an advantage for your team, a win at all costs mentality. Just look at all the players that fall over for a penalty if you feel contact. If roles were reversed, would be applauding him for getting an opponent sent off to get us a win from a losing position or calling him a cheat? I half suspect some teams have a game plan to target 'volatile' players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,792 Posted March 7 A pathetic act by Howson but ultimately the referee is to blame for being gulible enough to have been fooled Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I half suspect some teams have a game plan to target 'volatile' players. It's fair to say the roles were reversed quite a few years back when BJ squared up to Joey Barton and then fell over rather theatrically. My feeling at the time was it was fair enough given it was Barton, but I was a bit uncomfortable about it. I think there's a difference between intentionally getting a fellow pro sent off and winning a penalty by diving, I'm not keen on the latter but it's not as bad IMO. I would feel extremely uncomfortable if we'd won in such a dodgy way. Stuff happens, I'm not saying we're whiter than white, but we're definitely better than some. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Football is all about marginal gains and dark arts, whether you like them or not. I genuinely bear Howson no ill will for this. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your memory is playing tricks on you. Johnson never fell over. (even though that idiot Warnock claimed that he did). Johnson took a step back and sort of held out his arms as if to say "look what he just did". A bit similar to Howson looking at his thigh after last night's incident.

littleyellowbirdie 2,566 Posted March 7 (edited) It's the rules. He's a professional player playing for the opposing team. He'd be letting his team down if he didn't make sure the ref was aware. Sure, it's gamesmanship, but gamesmanship is part of football and has been for as long as i can remember. I'm afraid the failure was Sainz kicking out pointlessly and giving the opportunity to send him off. Edited March 7 by littleyellowbirdie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walcombe canary 69 Posted March 7 As I have said in a previous comment. Oh for Football to re-introduce the good old tackle. And the Footballers who could give and take the cruncher. It is why I struggle to watch football anymore Having said that. From the photo above. In this Softball game that is played now. Howson should have been sent off. That looks Red and nowt else. Borja - You should be compensating all those who travelled to the game last night. Toughen yourself up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LYB I'll say this yet again. He did not kick out pointlessly. He was reacting to the pain of Howson's dangerous tackle resulting in studs into the back of his knee. As he felt the pain in his leg he straightened the leg to let the blood flow and reduce the pain. Have you ever been in a similar position where straightening a limb after receiving a blow to it - its a natural reaction. Sainz was already totally disorientated, having been knocked upside down. The pain was an additional element of this. He was facing the away from Howson as well. But no, LYB knows best - its one of our current players to blame after all. Howson and Madley are laughing at your reaction to this right now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wirecanary 26 Posted March 7 (edited) As far as I am concerned Howson a **** house .. sorry but that’s conning the ref end off .. if Sainz had done him wouldn’t have a problem with red but he just got fellow pro sent off for next to nothing . I wouldn’t be shaking his hand after game .. also these Norwich players he claimed saying they would have done same ?? Then why haven’t they ! ? Pretty sure we have had several opportunities this season but didn’t …sorry he still a **** house .. Edited March 7 by Wirecanary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pete 320 Posted March 7 Sainz has a suspect temperament expect wind ups and fouls aplenty to come his way. Howson just playing the game, something Ashley B is a prime suspect for the same. Get over the righteous indignation and grow up, face football facts. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,269 Posted March 7 If Sainz is available for the Ipswich game then you can expect another red card incoming. They'll be winding him up big time as will their fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
