Mighty night for Northwest football

MACCA · Post by **MACCA** » Mon Feb 19, 2018 6:57 pm

Which game will you be taking in?

Wigan v Man City BBC
Or
Rovers v Bury Sky Sports

Kick off times mean you can catch all of one and the good bits of the other.

Come on you shakers!

I'll flick between the two, Macca.... and Corrie and Eastenders

Refuse to watch rovers.

Wigan it is. Done aguero 3 nil

MACCA · Post by **MACCA** » Mon Feb 19, 2018 7:16 pm

I've got corrie on series link, don't watch eastenders, so only have the 2 footy matches to navigate.

I'll watch all of the Bury game and flick over at half time and full time for the Wigan game. More interest and things riding on the league one fixture haha.

Don't watch Rovers, do what I'm doing and watch Bury

Both 1-1 If I were doing a double

Or over 4.5 in both

Looks like a behind closed doors game at Ewood Park...

Is that Lee Hendrie on commentary? Sounds like he's being paid by the word. He never shuts up.

Sounds like Dion Dublin, so probably.

A few restless natives now. Boos and jeers at every error.

NL Claret · Post by **NL Claret** » Mon Feb 19, 2018 8:38 pm

Booed off at half time. In fact when they get a corner the crowd start booing!

Pretty dreadful so far.

Once got my name on the leader board at the black pudding world championships. You have to put your foot on a grid and throw your black pudding at the Yorkshires. Outside the royal Oak, Ramsbottom. Used to be at the corner pin in St Ubbins until it closed.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Mon Feb 19, 2018 8:40 pm

HT 0-0.

Just hope the Shakers can snatch it.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Mon Feb 19, 2018 8:42 pm

City down to ten men.

Cookie and Pep going head to head!!!

Pushing and shoving int' tunnel.

Harsh red.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Mon Feb 19, 2018 8:46 pm

Taylor clearly had the yellow card out and then suddenly held up red.

Pep v Cooky - my money is on Cook

Jimmymaccer · Post by **Jimmymaccer** » Mon Feb 19, 2018 8:48 pm

Lovin the camera in the tunnel! Go on Cooky give him one!.......

MACCA · Post by **MACCA** » Mon Feb 19, 2018 8:48 pm

Looked to catch him shin high and no where near the ball.
Out of control, wreckless and dangerous IMO
Why did Taylor have yellow in his hand first? Must have had 4th official or lino in his ear.
Back to Bury now

Bordeauxclaret · Post by **Bordeauxclaret** » Mon Feb 19, 2018 8:48 pm

Maybe City shouldn’t have spent the last month complaining about tackling?

Caballo · Post by **Caballo** » Mon Feb 19, 2018 8:48 pm

Pundits excusing Delph, I'd love to know what their reaction would have been if Power had committed that foul!

Quickenthetempo · Post by **Quickenthetempo** » Mon Feb 19, 2018 8:48 pm

Pep was only just saying that refs need to protect all players so he can't complain at the sending off.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Mon Feb 19, 2018 8:49 pm

Pep goes for Taylor in the tunnel - getting very lively

simonclaret · Post by **simonclaret** » Mon Feb 19, 2018 8:49 pm

I was surprised when he got the yellow out, maybe felt it was red all along and just got wrong card out.

Southportclaret · Post by **Southportclaret** » Mon Feb 19, 2018 8:50 pm

I think it's been suggested on here before but Paul Cook looks like a good fit as a future Burnley manager. Strong character, plays good football and understands Burnley. I can see him stepping up to Prem level seamlessly.

simonclaret · Post by **simonclaret** » Mon Feb 19, 2018 8:50 pm

Pep should be in the stands second half for going at the ref like that.

Funkydrummer · Post by **Funkydrummer** » Mon Feb 19, 2018 8:51 pm

D'yer reckon that Pep will be sent off for the 2nd half ?

That would be as funny as feck.

I think he was actually shouting at his players to get away from the ref.
The BBC cut the coverage short before you could tell for definite.

Great goal too

Very poor from ref if he allows him back on the touchline. He really doesn’t like it when things aren’t all going his way.

hampsteadclaret · Post by **hampsteadclaret** » Mon Feb 19, 2018 8:58 pm

Crap tackle by Delph..asking for trouble.

Will City have more possession in the second half? I guess so.

*The City [near]' Claret and Blue'..

Is that a new thing, or historical?

- can't say I like it much.

Whatever happened to that Rovers supporter who used to post on here?

Funkydrummer · Post by **Funkydrummer** » Mon Feb 19, 2018 8:59 pm

Well, he's still on the bench !!!!

Very poor IMO.

Bordeauxclaret · Post by **Bordeauxclaret** » Mon Feb 19, 2018 8:59 pm

Cook should be embarrassed waving imaginary cards around.
He comes across as a bit of a berk on the touch line.
Didn’t seem to be like that as a player.

LeadBelly · Post by **LeadBelly** » Mon Feb 19, 2018 9:09 pm

I dont think the red card was harsh by today's standards (though a fairly routine sort of tackle when I was a lad). It was odd how the ref got out a yellow then changed to a red. Either he took out the wrong card initially or got some advice in his ear (or maybe even something extra was said by Delph). Delph's foot was off the ground and he was lunging in and going through the ball.
I dont see how Pep can reasonably argue about it given all the "players need protection" hype he's come out with recently (though he probably will argue about it).

Incident is here http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/football/42912610

NL Claret · Post by **NL Claret** » Mon Feb 19, 2018 9:13 pm

Bury just gifted them a 2nd. Horror show defending.

MACCA · Post by **MACCA** » Mon Feb 19, 2018 9:14 pm

2 - 0 Rovers
A scrapier goal you will not see.
Could get to 3 or 4 this

Time to watch Wigan no
