02/01/12 Championship Portsmouth 2-0 WFC

[sod chip save luther]

Just seen the Loach sending off, and the Pompey player makes zero attempt to play the ball. Don't see see how it wasn't our free kick. Appalling decision.

I've just read on the WML that the Pompey keeper got MOM yesterday. I also thought I had heard that announcement at the game but assumed I had misheard it as he didn't have anything to do. Bizarrre if true!

[harvivia]

Yep, you are correct, he won't play then. Doyley or Forsyth to come in on left I would assume.

Not as good as Kyle Naughton though. Playing for Norwich he managed to get booked for the 5th time and missed the boxing day game against Spurs. He could enjoy his Christmas dinner more as others have done in the past with the booking system. The thing is, due to the 'gentleman's agreement' in the Prem, he couldn't play against this parent club Spurs anyway! Nice way to wipe out his bookings.

I thought it might be worth giving this Tom James a game, might as well take a look at him, see if he's up to it. Otherwise not sure what point of keeping him is if we'll always play somebody else if Dicko's unavailable.

We said the same when walking out of the ground. I couldn't believe he got MOM, he hardly touched the ball!

Think Dickinson is ok, only get a ban if you get 5 yellows before 31st Dec. I'd still give him a rest though with Lloyd, Forsyth or even James at left back.

Must have been related to the match sponsors!

Having watched the sending off a couple of times on the BBC website I can't see where the clear goalscoring opportunity is denied, baring in mind Mariappa is in close attendance and the only Pompey player is on his arse having gone backwards into Loach's legs...

That would be my argument to the FA anyway. Any suggestion that the referee is wrong because Loach was fouled will fall on deaf ears and it was hardly an accidental handball.

So you've read this thread through and your only contribution is to insult two other board members?

Apologies Berkshire, I was unusually quick there.
