mickey phelans tash 0 Posted November 13, 2010 Just wondering how his leg is now after breaking it in the 44th minute tonight. The Reading physio must be Jesus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gingerpele 0 Posted November 13, 2010 Yeah, hes the first player to ever go down under a challenge....Its not nice, and really shouldn''t happen, but it does, even Norwich players exaggerate injuries etc... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
William Darby 0 Posted November 13, 2010 I went down after a hard challenge once. I met this bird in the Garibaldi who was playing hard to get.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nexus_Canary 1,206 Posted November 14, 2010 Cant wait to give him some aggro when he comes to Carrow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nolly 0 Posted November 14, 2010 yes he made the most of the challenge, but he''s not the only one, the majority of players will nowadays do the same thing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ivana_rubyatitz 6 Posted November 14, 2010 Seem to recall we used to have a bloke called Huckersomething who tended to go down quicker than a Portsmouth whore when the navy were in town play for us a while back. As I recall we all worshiped that fella....You won''t stop players making the most of challenges, the trick is to give refs the access to technology to review the incident before making a decision that can, like last night, totally turn the game on its head.

William Darby 0 Posted November 14, 2010 Hucks was professional when he was clattered. But I''m not so sure he rolled around to feign injury. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiery Zac 1,066 Posted November 14, 2010 Yes all players do it blah blah blah, doesnt stop it being ******* annoying, and Harte really took the acting to Oscar levels. Im sure all the players knew about the ref and his ''eagerness'' to send players off so Harte did a great job. Before Harte looked like he was dying i dont think the ref was going to do anything but give the foul.Forget Hartes academy award performance, simply the worst, most ridiculous display of refereeing ive ever seen (including Mr Ilderton, Booth, Friend and numerous others). Got decisions wrong on both sides and by not even giving a foul for the tackle that couldve broken Koreys leg, he wasnt even consistent with his decisions (other than being consistently s***).A good point, but robbed of all 3 by an incompetent ref. I would say with his catalogue of errors, surely there has to be repercussions for him now but going on previous examples, we''ll be lucky to get the sending off overturned by a cowardly and weak FA.

Chabal 0 Posted November 14, 2010 Town fan here.Ian Harte did exactly the same thing to us way back in 2001 when he was playing for Leeds. Writhed around in ''agony'' and got Marcus Stewart sent off and banned.So you have my sympathy (not something you will hear me say very often!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brendo 0 Posted November 14, 2010 Oh give over. The irony is unbelievable. Holt is the biggest diver we have and sadly got conned at his own game. Yeah, shouldn''t have happened but Holt does his fair share of making meals of challenges too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Both are cheating, technically. But I get your point, there''s cheating to gain a small advantage for yourself, and then there''s cheating to land someone else in serious trouble.

Mike 68 Posted November 14, 2010 Don''t remember Holt ever trying to get a fellow professional sent off but Harte does it regularly. Go check other websites. He''s a cheating pr*ck & I look forward to his reception in the return game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
