WTF was that challenge on Hannibal. Totally unnecessary in a friendly.

Stoke’s physicality is just ridiculous in a friendly game.

Re: Stoke away friendly
Would like to see them drop Hannibal back, move Larsen to the 10 and put westley up top for a while and see what Larsen can do from there

Re: Stoke away friendly
I have reservations about whether Edwards will offer anything in the Premier League. It takes him far too long to decide what to do with the ball and his end product is often very wasteful.

Tbf to Stoke they are a week out from starting the season, robins has probably told them to treat this like a league game.Procrastinate B wrote: ↑Sat Aug 02, 2025 4:18 pmStoke’s physicality is just ridiculous in a friendly game.

That was a dreadful challenge on Hannibal. Stoke commentators said it was “slightly late”….

Stupid by Laurent. What’s he thinking.
The referee has brought this farce on himself though.

Shocking from Laurent. Two poor tackles from behind, both yellows. A better ref would let it go in a friendly but this guy wants to be centre of attention.

Can’t believe what I’m seeing in a pre season game sending a man off . Add to that no gentleman’s agreement to sub someone on in order to get the full compliment from your pre season jaunt.

Re: Stoke away friendly
Edwards and Anthony have been off it today but it might help if they had a body to aim for.
Re: Stoke away friendly
I didn't think it looked good when the ref came out of the home dressing room after ht...laughing and joking with the Stoke players.

Cards in friendlies don't count for league.

IMO the yellow card challenge by the Stoke lad was worse, it was a real cheap shot and very dangerous.

Re: Stoke away friendly
It wouldn’t disappoint me if Burnley just walked off the pitch here.
The ref has been appalling (he’s from Stoke).
The challenge on Hannibal which was just before the Laurent red card was horrible and nasty and worthy of a red.
Which ref books so many players in what is essentially a fitness exercise?!

At least Rovers are getting beat, Stoke are currently above them as things stand, this result has no bearing on our League position because we are in the Premier League.

Yeah, I was just pointing out it wouldn’t make sense to carry suspensions from friendlies into league games because a token friendly could just be played to negate it.

Commentator made a good point-he should have come over to Parker and told him to get Laurent off and replaced ather than the ref red card him

I don't mind how awful we've been, hopefully that'll make them get a move on signing a few and upping the quality

Any player dismissed from the Field of Play will now be suspended automatically from only Friendly Matches until such time as his Club has completed its next Friendly Match, as decided by The Football Association or relevant County Association.

Still, good practice for raging at the competency of the officials in the upcoming season (I suppose).

Its worrying seeing so many lack lustre individual performances against a lower end championship side. Very little connection between Larsen/Edwards /Larsen and rest of team

Re: Stoke away friendly
We look way off it, granted they are a week ahead in preseason, but we've not even had a shot on target. It's going to be a long old season if we don't get a few attacking players with some real quality.
