Monroe Transfer 0 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Some of the comments here, man http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11678/8583737/Massadio-Haidara-escapes-serious-injury-following-Callum-McManaman-challenge so after all that nonsense he is barely even hurt, tackle was clearly not that bad!

Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 He's been very lucky but good news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitman 2188 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Very happy with this news. As it happens it's a get out of jail card for the FA, as they clearly should have banned Mcmanan for several matches. Instead they've shown it's possible to get away with it if you have no history and your chairman has cronies on the FA. If it had been Tiote he wouldn't pull on his boots again till next season.

Indeed. You sort of feel that the FA won't change it's ways until forced to, for example by the courts, as was murmured about here. Maybe one day there will be a landmark case that triggers this. But most importantly I'm glad that Hadeira is okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And rightly so. I'd like to say I have lost all faith in the FA but unfortuantly I haven't, it's exactly what I expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobos 297 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Pissed me off that they said they couldnt make retrospective judgements if the ref team saw it. Whats the point in a bloody FA inquiry if they cant act retrospectively, the whole things retrospective the numpties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 8989 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Sooo they can't make it if the ref takes action, and they can't take it if the ref doesn't take action but didn't see it but a linesman did But they can overturn a decision a referee has made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenL 0 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 They can make a decision by sacking the linesman that thinks it's an okay challenge. Obviously needs to go back to the classroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Pathetic that they haven't assigned Halsey to the next round of prem games. Shite as he was/is, it's the linesman who has completely cocked up. Officiating has been piss poor ever since they let Riley be the head honcho. It's no coincidence that a dreadful ref at the helm will lead to dreadful refereeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Manson 0 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I have complete and utter faith in the blinkered nature of the FA that they only took the horror tackle into consideration when assessing Halsey's performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Manson 0 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I probably should've been clear. They've dropped a ref for poor performance but they've said absolutely nothing on the matter because they're spineless. The FA should've come out and reviewed Halsey's inept display and given him a subsequent suspension, not freeze him out once the vast majority of the footballing world (minus Wigan and idiots like Andy Gray) rightly points out how they've made themselves look like every bit the shambles of an organisation they are. There needs to be a conscious effort from the FA to improve the game, and at the moment the standard of refereeing has been dreadful for a few seasons now. It's only going to get worse with refs becoming more and more isolated on all sides. They get dogs abuse from supporters and fuck all support from their employers. That desperately needs to change.

Rayvin 4964 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 At least they did something, a slight acknowledgement of error, even if it's about the smallest gesture they could possibly have made. How did the linesman escape is what I want to know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Santon has had a decent start to the season tbh, having Haidara back and competing with him can only make Santon even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13847 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Aye I've a feeling he was brought on to play a bit more direct than Santon would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTF 6148 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 It was good to see him back on the pitch for the first team. Would like to see him get a run of games at some stage this season. Converse to what some may say, I don't think Santon is well suited to being a fullback in the premier league in a mid table team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Converse to what some may say, I don't think Santon is well suited to being a fullback in the premier league in a mid table team. That's a crazy thing to say imo. For a 22 year old defender with probably 14 years of playing ahead of him, he's a definite talent that we're lucky to have. If you could name some better suited 22 year olds I'm all ears.
