[Albion] Matt O Riley [26/08/24 - sings on a 5-year deal]

[Bring back Bryan wade!!]

Sorry not been on here all day, any update on how long MOR will be out for please?..

 

[One Love]

Doubt we’ll be doing them any favours in the loan market

Quite, I think having a relationship with us is much more important to them than the other other around for multiple reasons.

After the way they behaved on Tuesday, there will be consequences.

 

[Peteinblack]

Who was in it ?

Living up to your Username, I see

 

[um bongo molongo]

Funnily enough I was going to, as it’s en route to LHR where I’ll be picking someone up. The timing was perfect. But not now. Withholding my £20 isn’t going to break them but it’s at least something I can do make my feelings known. I’m going to head for Reading instead.

Yeah I agree with this.

It was a bad challenge (they happen), The ref should have sent him off , but that wouldn't have made any difference to the outcome of the game.

But..

Our fans do have the right to be pissed off that we are deprived of a new signing, for the next few months, because of a seriously misjudged challenge.

I don’t think it was misjudged. I think he knew exactly what he was doing and had zero intention of getting the ball

 

[kevo]

Why have Crawley FC or Jay Williams not issued a public apology?

It would go some way to easing the ill feeling.

The manager has issued an apology. I suppose that they think they are done.

Supposedly 3 months, but how reliable that is I can't be sure, as the original source of that claim is hidden amongst all the meaningless bickering about how upset we should be or not.

We don't know. Most educated guess is 3 months.

 

[dazzer6666]

We don't know. Most educated guess is 3 months.

…..and that’s from someone who has only watched replays of the incident (even if they are qualified). Club official line is ‘don’t know’.

 

[Eric the meek]

'Genuinely upset' or 'genuinely upset for the stick he's getting'?

Personally, I don't believe a single, solitary word that Scott Lindsay utters. It was a horror tackle, planned and pre-meditated to injure our player.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

I don’t think it was misjudged. I think he knew exactly what he was doing and had zero intention of getting the ball

I suspect he wanted to put in a leveller, by taking man and ball, but not good enough.

 

[Eric the meek]

Just to be clear about the severity of the tackle, O'Riley needs surgery, and the club - don't know when - he will be back.

Edit: after being on the field for 6 minutes.

 

[Han Solo]

Claiming that he went in to injure the player us not just highly unlikely, but also a dangerous claim to make if you can't back it up. These are League One players and could make more from dragging you to court than they do from playing football.

Its a shite tackle. But you can see he is watching the ball, he's just too slow and too shit. Don't let your emotions over the injury make you believe the worst about people. Guy wants to be the tough lad in midfield and he's wreckless because of it. But that doesn't make him some monstrous human set out to break the legs of people. Get real.

He was so upset that he winked and laughed once he did it and was then laughing and mouthing off to the North Stand later in the match.

When do you reckon he started his grand plan? What did it involve?

Yep. What things do football fans cheer? Easy headers back to the goalkeeper from a defender. Winning a throw in even though f*** all comes from it and finally winning a hard tackle. We just love it. We don't all go "oh I hope the other player is ok" immediately after. But, as you said, you miss the vital element (the ball....which is quite important) and these needlessly hard (but cheered) tackles just become hacks.

I remember the whole amex falling silent when Lewis Dunk injured Billy Sharp at the opener on 2011. We were all so annoyed at Dunk for hurting another fellow professional.....

Nobody knows but everyone is Angry.

I would say I've got over it. Until I see the line up on Saturday that is.

So you're telling me to keep him in my FPL this week

What an absolute load of shite from Lindsey.

Williams was proud of that challenge and found it funny. He wasn’t standing over O’Riley to see how he was, he was standing over him to gloat, grin and wink at our captain, Webster.

Just an attempt to try and halt the social media avalanche enveloping his nasty player. We can all see through his BS.
