[Football] "He was eating a sandwich, while talking to a Premier League manager" - oh the humanity.

2 for 2 now Wilder has NOT deflected away from defeat by focusing on the referees performance.
Concentrating solely on his and his teams actions and NOT the referee.
Absolutely no deflecting here.

Although he's right on one thing, nobody should ever eat when in front of a pre-championship manager, disgusting behaviour.

Glad you posted this, when I read about sandwichgate I thought ‘what a totally arrogant tw##t!

Then I reflected…. There was me thinking there were signs of recognising in the game that refs need more respect and support and then one completely blows it (at EPL level would you believe?!) by eating a sandwich in front of such a very important man. There is really no condoning such extreme behaviour and I hope Howard Webb makes a suitably grovelling apology imminently,

I think a post match directive is required that no match official should be allowed to eat until both managers have said they can. And they should be allowed to veto the fillings. and in the Premier league they must also pay homage to the said managers before eating so they are giving them full respect

Yes, it's absolutely disgusting behaviour and the official involved should be immediately removed. Why the officials can't show the same respect they get from the managers I will never know.

I heard that. I like Wilder but he’s made himself look like a twat there.

It’s very much “do you know who I am?!”
He’s still cross about that Zamora goal in 2000

He is making himself look a total prick.

Yes Premier league refs have a tendency to give more 50/50 decisions to bigger clubs.
Yes it's irritating.
It isn't the reason his team are losing matches.

On saturday it was clear his tactics were to try and rough us up in "coming together" type challenges.
Ref let it go for 10 minutes and when the pattern was clear, clamped down.
It's at this point the 50/50 calls start going against you.

Wilder is also Ignoring the fact that the "4 or 5 cards" his team is getting, is for persistent fouls, not the challenges themselves.

Luton used their physicality in a much better way.
It didn't involve leaving a foot in on very challenge.
They just bullied us and used their intensity to intimidate us.
It worked.

Can I ask why you like Wilder? I mean if you like everyone that's great, but I fail to see anyone could have a list of managers they like and those that don't, and put Wilder on the first one
