We should seek compensation from Blues for our captain !!!

Don’t know what was more sickening; the ugly challenge or the even uglier defence of it by McWinge.

And not a word of apologu from club or player. Disgrace to Midlands football.

So a player flies into another player,with feet high off the ground,studs showing,and hits the ‘innocent’ player with such force that he cartwheels into the air,and gets his knee bone broken from the challenge-

and referee Phil Dowd,watching it a few feet away,decides there was nothing wrong with it.

If he gave his honest opinion of the incident,then you can only conclude that he’s either blind or totally incompetent,either way,it means he’s not fit to Referee a Sunday parks game,let alone a premiership match.

Absolutely disgusting.

Well The ref got that wrong Alan Hutton should have had a 3 Match Ban as said by (By No3, Brummie baggie) I agree he should have had a straight red Card On saturday and now its westbrom suffering up to six weeks Longs out he will be missed but Somon Tchoyl must keep producing with good performances could be our player of the season and we will get by untill long comes back.Come on you baggies lets carry on fighting for those good results we defently deserve.
Bo-ing Bo-ing Bring on Liverpool.

for gods sake can you lot stop whinging,your embarassing our club,get over it it was a tackle,it happens,not as if we have never done it is.

Message to VTID, there is a big difference between tackling for the ball and two footed over the top tackles, trying to break a fellow professional’s leg. Let’s hope Hutton gets the same treatment at the Hawthorns, then you can come on here again talking about a “man’s game” again, with Hutton in plaster.

5 VTID-

I used to play Rugby Union when I was younger,and if an opposition player threw himself at me,and pushed his studs into my knee,we’d have a lot to talk about-

mainly because he’d be lying next to me in hospital.

Oh well,at least you’ve managed a post so moronic that TC clacka agrees with you…..

Jara’s tackles, Scharners attempts at leg breakers, Tamas elbow. My my, you are angels aren’t you..

Compensation? MAybe the game should be replayed then to compensate for the outrageous sending off which has now been written off?

9 i dont think Appy is in a position to say anything with the leg breakers he used to put in.

Billy we are not saying were all angels and yes there are those in our ranks that have mistimed and deliberately fouled with similar outcomes to Huttons on long. But should we allow this play carry on in our game!!. I don’t want to see any player have to suffer a broken leg / arm ankle etc and no one on this page should want to see premeditated mallace on the pitch…if they do then they don’t play football. Its a game we all want to be proud of, where skill and ability is not cut short by mindless tackles and elbows such as was displayed by Hutton on Saturday. My view is if a player injures another in such a way, and an enquiry finds him guilty of the foul then he should himself sit out the game until his opponent is back and playing, and if he never recovers then so be it that the accused never plays again. I have nearly broke my leg twice playing non-league soccer and at any level there is no place for the mallace tackles. They should throw the book at Hutton, Drogba etc who slide in like this with the feet in the air…….if someone did that to your lad in a school match you’d be livid, its no more acceptable here !!

29Oldburyite. Apology accepted mate on behalf of Albion and Villa supporters everywhere. There are thugs in many teams, we’ve all had one or two in the past but encouraging them is WRONG, totally. We go to see football, the better team on the day winning. I like lots of goals in a game, open play, quick ball movement, never know there’s a ref out there.
OK, idealism. But that was how it began. MONEY

Spot on. Until your post and I think Jack’s posted the same lines I was beginning to think I’d been hallucinating.

Everyone saying ‘he did nothing wrong.’ Herd was tangled with Olsson, I think Herd held Olsson first and then Olsson held Herd when on the ground. Herd was struggling to free himself but having done this had a kick back at Olsson. It was more petulant than vicious and fortunately missed its target (like everything else Villa did apart from Bent’s penalty and Hutton’s dissection of Long.)But the intent was there and like Beckham’s red card against the Argies all those years ago, technically it was a red card offence and this decision has undermined the linesman who was correct.

I would also say that Tamas red card was in similar circumstances. He had his back to the opponent and in frustration at being held stupidly swung his arm. The difference was that he made contact. Had Herd’s boot caught Olsson’s face the red card would have been upheld, the only difference being pure chance.

isent it about time we started talking bout the game instead of Herd and Hutton,like Brunts penalty miss for instance.

Cant believe that after 2 great wins we have had to reduce ticket prices against bolton and spurs,good job we dident lose,wolves lost 5 on the trot and had over 25,000.

Now that Chris Herd’s red card has been rescinded by the FA as he was only “extricating his foot from Olsson’s grasp” do you think Alex McLeish will now extricate his head from the sand and give us his true opinion on Hutton’s assault on Shane Long?? …..No, me neither!

40 little Jimmy clacka-

can you help my out,here?

a few games ago,you said you were in an E&S photo of Albion fans in the Smethwick End,and the other day you said you sat in the Brummie Road.

So do you watch the game from both ends at the same time?

Maybe you watch the first half in the Smethwick,then run across the pitch at half-time to see the second half at the BRE?

If that is the case,I’ll wave to you as you run past me at the weekend………

40 marie clacka-

Albion are charging less money because times are hard and they think about their fans.

On the other hand,wolves need to make as much money as they can for when they go into the championship next season……….

56 WONOH-

very entertaining,it reminds you how wolves fans keep ‘shooting themselves in the foot’.

In a similar vein to the subject you brought up on the wolves site,I remember reading the gushing praise for Mick on his anniversary thread,then I said on here-

‘last season,they wanted to run him out of town,but now that they’ve stayed up,Mick is suddenly a hero!-they change direction like the wind’.

Shortly after,Farmer Ted replied to me by saying-

‘you’ve got it wrong,a small minority of idiots want him out,but the vast majority of wolves fans think he’s a great guy!’.

I’m just wondering how big Farmer Ted believes the majority is now………

59 Bully,

I watched the second half of the wolves/man. city game,and it seems this morning that most wolves’ posters were happy with their performance.

It may have been an improvement,but to concede five goals at home to a ‘second-string’ side,who were bringing on 17-year-olds for a bit of experience,and strolled around the pitch at half-pace,doesn’t bode well for the weekend’s game at City.

The commentator’s mentioned at least SEVEN first-team regulars were missing from the City side,so-

I’m just wondering,up ’till now,has any premiership club conceded 10 goals or more in a game?

If not,get the record books ready this weekend……….

(p.s.- if ever there was justification for ‘parking the bus’,it’s gonna be in Manchester on Saturday).
