I said the same at the Time, Kendall had a word with his but honestly what can the refs so about it? Absolutely nothing.

I meant that all 3 were won the hard way - none could be considered as one off bits of luck.

Maybe he is....



Rules of the Game/Misconduct



(i) behaves in any way contrary to the true spirit of the game.

Let's be honest.

He is one irritating .

But he plays for us so he gets special dispensation.

To me it is more showboating than taunting, and pretty innocuous. You’d have to have a bit of a thin skinned to see it as provocative. At worst, if I was being a very po-faced, you could say it was a bit immature, but at 23 you maybe still get a pass for that. if he’s trying to cultivate an image as an irritant, he maybe feels it is incumbent on him to do something, and I think that is about the right level - noticeable, but no big deal.



I’ve no particular issue with the ref having a word either though. It’s just one of the subtle nudges we all get as we grow up and it won’t be dismissed as youthful exuberance forever. Without these little social cues, I might not know not how ridiculous i’d look doing a dab at 42, for example.

Connor is the future. He’s not a bench player

Radford should play him for 80 mins every game

Now !

That and Greenwood using his knees to dislodge the ball and to give the oppositions body some attention.l

So tarquin where would you play connor every match?

I watched the game over a few beers in a spanish bar which is quite appropriate as rovers played like a pub team

I’ve thought about this some more, and I still disagree. I just don’t think it is how most sports think. Which is no criticism of the minority, but I think you’re unusual in this respect. As I am myself, in others.



Manchester United fans have enjoyed enormous success since the 60s, but Best, Law and Charlton are still legends.



Zidane and Cristiano Ranaldo’s successes, and time, haven’t diminished the standing of Alfredo Di Stéfano at Real Madrid.



Kubala was voted Barcelona’s greatest player of the 20th century in 1999, despite despite Cruyff, and their dream team of the 90s.

I’m not diminishing the importance of the likes of Whiteley, for example, achieved. But I never saw him play. My personal emotional connection however is far greater to recent successes which I experienced first hand. I must be unique. Many would say this is a good thing.

Undoubtedly.











I would, but you know how I said I am also unusual in some ways...
