Les Parry's grapes are entertainingly sour

[Man of Harveys]

Apologies if this has been posted before. From the Argus:

Tranmere boss Les Parry accused Albion players of getting his men into the referee's notebook.

Parry saw Andy Robinson sent-off and Ben Gordon booked for fouls as his side lost 3-0 at Withdean.

Asked after the game whether Robinson deserved his straight red, Parry admitted: "I'd like to look at it again.

"I couldn't say categorically that it wasn't a red card.

"But I'm going to have to have our lads in and have them lying down after tackles because it seems to be the only way you can get referees' decisions nowadays.

"After every tackle their players lay on the floor.

"Ben got booked exactly the same. Lay on the floor and as soon as he (Gordon) was booked, he was up.

"I thought for an experienced referee he fell for the five-card trick on numerous occasions."

Parry felt the scoreline was harsh on his relegation-threatened side.

He said: "We shouldn't have won the game but 3-0 isn't a fair reflection."

Apologies accepted

Calderon did get up ok. But just because he didn't have a multiple fracture does not mean it wasn't a red card.

I can't work out quite how Calderon could have stayed on his feet following that tackle

 

[SittingbourneSeagull]

I think he is referring to the tackle on Carole in front of the dug outs, where he did get up quite quickly and their left back got booked, but again the tackle was from behind and late.

He would be better off teaching his players to either be quicker to the ball or not to tackle from behind.

Both tackles were bad and down to frustration because they were struggling to get the ball from us.

He's a physio who gives a shit what he said
1 booking and 1 red card that means he is basing those accusations on two tackles so every other time they commited a foul are players got straight back up.

I agree it should have been 5-0

 

[The Large One]

I think some of the Tranmere fans are embarrassed by his comments.

 

[Twinkle Toes]

The bloke's a f***ing idiot.

 

[Frutos]

He said: "We shouldn't have won the game but 3-0 isn't a fair reflection."

He's got that part totally right.

 

[VeronaSeagull]

Has anyone pointed out how many shots on target we had compared to his side?

 

[Notters]

Have you found any to post on here? I've been struggling to find any.

Having endured the outrageous facility that is Withdean Stadium (how on Earth have Brighton fans put up with that monstrosity of a place for so long?) I was then treated to one of the most dire performances from a Rovers side I have witnessed all season.

To be fair to the home side, we were totally outplayed and outclassed on the day, and this came to a head when Robinson made, what can only be described as, a totally outrageous tackle, and thoroughly deserved his marching orders. In the end we were actually fortunate to escape with just a 3-0 scoreline, in a match that highlighted just how badly we need someone at the helm who knows what they are doing.

Just to compound my thinking, I arrived home to discover the most amazing comments from LP written on the Rovers' website. Was that really him at the match yesterday? From his words, he must have somewhere else, because I found it quite incredulous that he should even try to say we stood a chance against a thoroughly organised and vastly improving Brighton side. He even states that we gifted them their goals and that the Robinson red card was dubious.
Our so-called manager has now completely lost it, and is simply resorting to cover his own imperfections by contemning the oppositions' style and supposed good fortune.

If we manage to escape the drop it will be a total miracle, and not down to the efforts of someone who should never have been made the boss in the first place.

Phew, a fan with a brain. Now they need a manager. Actually that fan would do a better job for them.

It reminds me of Micky Adams' horseshit about tall players or whatever: the minute a manager starts defending a performance that everyone else in the ground recognises as having thoroughly stunk the place out, then it's time to go.

Exactly Adams said they were "bigger" than us. Diddums.

That and it was THE Leeds United we were playing...

And Virgo on the wing. Etc.

 

[bhaexpress]

Let's face it one of the most stupid decisions in football history was to get rid of tried and tested Ronnie Moore and replace him with clueless John Barnes. Moore only just missed out on the play-offs last season and what sort team would do that. ohh

Adams was a f***ing unmitigated DISASTER in his last stint here and his post match interviews made him sound like he'd been at a different game to the one Albion had just played. A bit like the Tranmere bloke.

 

[VeronaSeagull]

I used to enjoy predicting what Adams would come out with after each game....partly because it was nearly always the same after every single defeat

 

[Silent Bob]

I always wondered what it would be like if we made Malcolm Stuart manager.
