In reply to WW first post:
1. Maybe he picked up a booking for something he wouldn't have last season, now he knows where the line is and I'm sure he will be just slightly more careful next time.
2. Thats bollocks. Good players always want the ball, and are bound to be frustrated when they don't get it, it just shows he is hungry for goals and ultimately the team to be winning. Leading from the front. If you hadn't noticed players often turn away is frustration when they miss, not thinking about the setup. There have been no signs of a difficult relationship between those two, your just shit stirring and I can't think why? I also noticed Nicky encouraging players a number of times which you haven't mentioned at all!!
You may also like to think about the half chances that came his way, where did they come from? His own hard work on two occasions I can think of straight away. I could go on and on about how ridiculous this thread is.

It's a great thing to have a captain that constantly moans in my experience. Our best captain since I've been watching the Albion was Nobby Horton who moaned at and berated everyone all through games and regularly had a running argument with the ref during the game whilst play was going on. Caring passionalty does result in stupid bookings but is part of parcel of most of the best captain's games.

Alan Shearer used to moan more than any player I can remember, but he wasn't too bad in front of goal either.

Ignoring the comment about moaning (or not, whatever the case may be), on which I cant comment because I wasn't there, I think putting up Nicky's undisputed talent against the silly booking is kind of like comparing an elephant to a penguin. They're two different things. I wouldn't expect a booking for being mouthy to an official from such an experienced player, especially one who has been given the priv. of being captain again and should be showing an example to young fans. I have personally seen him being a bit vocal to the officials at Withdean so I'm not suprised about the booking, but if there's a clampdown on it (and rightly so IMHO) I know he's clever enough and long in the tooth enough to have learned from the experience and keep his comments directed in the right way to encourage his team or give them a verbal kick when they need it. Lets hope he's learned from it - he cant beat Whingy's record for cards, surely! lol!

Just watch that goal at Crewe, injury time, shrugs off the defender and in the words of Alan Partridge 'Twack'.
Thank you Nicky, plesae do that again and again and again this season.

Come off it, we wouldn't know it was Monday if WW wasn't moaning about something.

I think you'll find it was "TWAT !"
Closely followed by "SHIT !...DID YOU SEE THAT ??"

Lord Bracknell recalled a story on Saturday regarding Forster and Adam El-Abd from the Ipswich friendly.
After El-Abd's eleventyth ambitious crossfield pass aimed at Cox or McLeod was intercepted by the full-back, Forster, being his captain, decided to say something. It was apparently picked up quite clearly by the North Stand.
'Adam!' No reply.
'ADAM!' Still looking into space.
'ADAM EL-ABD!'. Finally a recognition his captain was talking to him. From 40 yards away. 'STOP f***ing DOING THAT...'

Indeed. For every 1 complaint he makes (which are always justified in my opinion) there are 10 occasions when he rallies our team like no albion captain I've seen before. Not only, as you say, did he encourage our lot to keep going when Crewe scored, he led the way by hitting the scorebag himself. Nicky Forster - Legend
I agree with Badg. We don't hear what Forster is saying when he is "moaning" do we. We can only go by the body language which cant be 100% accurate.
I was a bit disappointed with his booking though - as already said, he should be setting an example.

Without reading through the rest of the thread, what was the booking for?

Now you see if Hammond had been captain at the time, he'd have just led by example. And disappeared completely.

What, backchat? Not moving back from a free-kick? Moaning?
