Also that the 3 east europeans that played had racist remarks said to them by both the potton players and spectators. The club are taking it further. Thats bad! Theres no room in football for that! You dont expect it at this level. In fact you dont expect it at any level! Just hope the right action is taken! |

If proven true that is a disgrace and I would expect the UCL to do something to punish them.

I was there. Although the skipper was harshly sent off for headbutting a player in the medriff, the other two players were deserved of there sendinf offs for head butt and stamping respectively. To suggest either of these was due to racial remarks is at the the least quite insulting and completely untrue.
Members of the Ford Sport committee after the game said the last two would never play for the club again.

Jimmy who are we looking to punish? Potton, for abiding by the rules or Ford Sports for having the indicsipline of deserving two players sent off?
Many people are willing to slag off Potton without being there and without giving a good referee the credit of doing a good, honest job. The Geordie lad is as good as any in the UCL and is fairer than most.

Some outrageous comments on here! Firstly it was 2 different players that were headbutted and both deservedly sent off. The third one was an horrendus stamping and after the game one of the Ford's management team apologised and said his team were a disgrace. I never heard any racist comments and to say there was without being able to back this up is not good thing either. I would be amazed if anything of the sort was said
It appears that Potton seem to have a bad name on here and people are quite prepared to slate them even when its opposition who have had 3 people sent of and potton have not even had 1 booking in the game??!!

I think if you read the start of the thread, I said I read the comments in the Dav Express. However I was at the game and the first two sending offs were a disgrace to the play acting by the Potton players. As you yourself said, the Potton player was pushed in the stomach - why then was he holding his head? why did the ref not book the players who attacked the fords player? Why did the referee not book or send off the Potton player who got another ford player in a headlock after the 'stamp'? Seems Potton have a lot to answer for. Two of the sendings off were of the east europeans and I saw what the spectators were like as they walked back to the dressing room. If the 'cage' hadn't been along that side, who knows what might have happened near the clubhouse. |

A very one eyed view!!!
I agree that maybe a booking for the reaction to the stamp but it was hardly a headlock and after that behavior i dont think you'll find many people who wouldnt be very annoyed!
In regard to the guys behind the goal who come everyweek and generally enjoy some good banter with the opposition GK, in fact its common for the keeper to shake their hands and even share a beer in the bar!! So to say that the 'cage' saved the goalkeeper is madness!! it was just playful mocking of someone who had lost their head and was rightly sent off and to suggest it was anything racist without you actually being there is not right.
To say that potton have a lot to answer without something to back this up is out of order.

I wasn't there but I have to say I have always thought Potton to be hard and fair most of the time. Last season watched the Woodford v Potton game that ended up with a 23 man brawl after the final whistle (may have been the same ref Swann, did a great job by the way) and everyone was quick to hammer Potton, when in fact in my opinion it seemed a Woodford player kicked it all off. Not sure what the outcome was but both teams were reported.

Yes I agree yours is a very one eyed view!. AND I was at the game. You haven't mentioned about the play acting by Potton for the sending off's. Or the fact that the fords player 'stamped' on him as retaliation (no excuse thou') because the potton player ripped the inside of his thigh open with his studs? Then when he was sent off I heard the Potton player abusing him as he walked away. Again this carried on with the spectators as he went through the 'cage'. |

No now your saying that you heard the abuse?? And was anything you heard racist, bearing in mind in your previous replies that stated that you heard in the paper they were racially abused and now your saying you heard the abuse - so was anything you heard racist??
In respect to the feigning injury i dont beleive that there is an excuse for headbutting whether someone gives someone a slight knock or knocks them clean out so dont make excuses by saying people feigned injury-how can you tell the seriousness of peoples injuries. Also in respect to the 3rd (yes 3 sending off in one game and your the ones sinned against??!! someone plesae explain!!) sending off the foul was committed by the fords player and then the stamp by the fords player so how has the potton player done anything wrong except retaliate??
Please explain your bizzarre views??

Please explain your bizzarre views?? There is a difference between 'butting' (your words not mine) in the stomach and then holding your head. Maybe if Lincoln had been a sportsman he wouldnt have made more rolls than the local bakers? Has he been watching Rivaldo? (Hit in the thigh-holds head?) Again you make your own interpretation. I said I read about the racist remarks but I HEARD the abuse (from the potton player) and the baiting by the spectators. Anyway, lets see what the club do and then we can debate that? |
