Stoke will not complain after objects thrown at players.....

[CHAPPERS]

BBC Sport - Stoke rule out complaint over Besiktas missile incidents

"We won't be complaining to anyone. We're Stoke and we don't complain," said manager Tony Pulis.

Well, Tony, that makes you an idiot then doesn't it.

 

[Acker79]

Let's all go to stoke games and throw things.

 

[keaton]

I read that this morning. They're bloody idiots.

And they complain all the time about people saying they're a long ball team.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Just because Stoke won't complain, presumably doesn't mean action won't be taken. Everyone saw the pics, so presumably UEFA can take their own action without a complaint being lodged.

 

[albion534]

Bit silly really, so I take it pulis will never again complain about dodgy ref decisions again, or another club moaning they're just a log ball team

 

[Silent Bob]

I wonder how their players feel about this hardman posturing?

Let's all go to stoke games and throw things.

 

[Manx Shearwater]

I'm surprised he hasn't signed one or two of the fans who were chucking stuff from way back in row ZZ as full backs as they would fit in perfectly with Stoke's tactical game plan.

 

[Arthur]

Fair play to them. Let UEFA deal with it.

f*** that. Coins and lighters?

English clubs in Europe and that happens? Book thrown. We should go both barrels when it happens in places like Turkey. It happens EVERY time.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

I'd be interested to know if he'd complain if the same happened to him at an English ground.

Why the hell WOULDN'T you complain? Is he condoning it then?

f*** that. It means going to Stoke games...!

 

[Arthur]

f*** that. Coins and lighters?

And what ever gets done about it? Nothing! So pointless making yourself look like a winey little bitch for no reason.

 

[Superphil]

New song for Stoke fans

We don't complain
We don't complay-ain.
We're Stoke City,
We don't complain.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

And what ever gets done about it? Nothing! So pointless making yourself look like a winey little bitch for no reason.

What about the safety of your players? Is that not a good enough reason?

 

[Everest]

They shouldn't have to complain.

UEFA should be clamping down on this sort of thing anyway, FULL STOP.

 

[Bognor Bystander]

Pulis if he did say that is a bit niave (sp?) ... and as others have said the pictures and subsequent referee's action to call Pennant away from the corner of the ground were enough proof if it were needed for Uefa to take appropriate action.

 

[Acker79]

I believe UEFA can act if it is included in the ref's report. Perhaps the ref has told Pulis he has noted it so Pulis knows he doesn't have to complain.

 

[Arthur]

What about the safety of your players? Is that not a good enough reason?

Was anyone hurt?

Football abroad is a different beast to what it is over here. I'm condoning it or saying it's right but if it's as bad as people are making out then let UEFA deal with it. Granted that'll mean they'll get a €5k fine and warned about their future behavior but that's how it works.

Didn't see anyone on here pissing their pants about Ballotelli having a cup of Bovril thrown at him on Monday night when he scored

 

[Chesney Christ]

Pathetic machismo posturing. I'd always warmed to Pulis but this quote makes him sound like an utter DICK.

 

[Chesney Christ]

Didn't see anyone on here pissing their pants

Why would complaining about something with perfectly reasonable grounds to do so equate to "pissing your pants"? I presume you have never complained about anything in your life?
