The Poolie Bunker

I haven't posted much lately but I have been logging on every now and then to keep up with the gossip of the best poolies message board if not one of the best footy fans boards!

Anyway to the match today.

Minutes silence for Michael, perfectly observed, when the whistle blew at the end of the minute and the squad along the touchline of the Cyril side turned round to leave, I saw Matty Robson in absolute pieces!! I nearly cracked!

Then the lads have to play a game after such a terrible week.

Obviously they are going to be wound a little tight, the Brighton players of course knew this and used evry dirty tactic in the book, cynical fouls that went unpunished by a very weak referee!(That's not what I called him during the match).

Yes, Willie shouldn,t have lashed out, it was retaliation, to a couple of meaty challenges, but come on, hand bags!! The egg chasers must P**s themselves laughing when they see players rolling around like their lad reacted! What you needed from the ref in view of the occasion today is common sense Boland, should have been booked at best, like some others have mentioned.

Anyway, we battle well in the second half and we get a penalty, for DELIBERATE hand ball, by a defender who 5 mins earlier had just been booked for persistant fouling. The ref indicated that the player had flung out an arm and blocked the ball, now I may be wrong here but I thought deliberate had ball was a booking But ooooohh no, we can't be sending of a Brighton player can we

I won't even go into the disgraceful behaviour of the self same player to Richie Barker who was lying on the pitch devastated after they had snatched the late (undeserved) winner!!

Anyway fellow Poolies, I don't know about you lot but I am shattered, it's been emotional.

RIP Michael Maidens it was a pleasure seeing you play football.

But aiming a kick at someone is a red card offence, theres no middle ground.

Have you a problem reading?

I have never said they didnt cheat, they were the dirtiest team iv seen for a long time.

Sorry offshorepoolie but Boland aimed a kick at one of their players. Wether he went down like had been shot or what is irrelevant, even if he didn't make contact with their lad the intent was still there and he had to walk. A stupid thing to do to react in the way that he did but I would like to think he was simply just caught in the emotion of the day.

Have you never seen a player roll about before?

It happens every single game, your going on like its never ever happened before.

I suppose you could say it was good tactics by the Brighton manager whether you like it or not he knew that our team might not be fit mentally so he might have sent his team out to provoke us to get a reaction which is what they got. But it doesn't stop them being a team full of dirty bastads though.

Just nicked this off the Rivals site

re: Scenes at end of game

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
at the game, when barker scored his goal as a mark of respect he took his armband off and kissed it, when brighton scored in 90th min barker dropped to the ground in no way to feign an injury jus dropped to the ground an looked gutted that we had been beaten, num 24 whoeva he was conme ova to barker an sed summet then took his own armband off an started kissing it in front of him replicating barkers celebrations after his goal

This is the player by the way who should have had the second yellow for DELIBERATE handball!!


It must have been something bad 'cos Barker lost it! along with a few other Pools players

Disrespectfull, disgracefull bahaviour from a pack of thugs.

How is that posting shiit?

Its a very simple part of the game.

Oh I see the problem now

All hospital accident and emergency departments should be closed down and replaced by football club physio's... their healing powers are legendary, the crippled walk within minutes

that may have been BERT who rings in every week and was continuing the arguement on the radio tonight despite every pools fan texting in to say it was a red card he still wouldnt have it

You must be one clever chap to be able to deceifer tone from a typed message.

So someone makes a total 100% accurate statment and you start an argument and name calling. Please grow up.

which makes it all the more pathetic.

didnt you say grow up?!

hmmm i got called a 'lovely lovely person' for saying what everyoen else has said.

I said his actions are pathetic for trying to provoke arguments time and time again.

Theres a slight difference.
