[Albion] Mitoma

[Bozza]

I know what you mean but he was right, wasn't he?

I don't know - I didn't quite catch the colour of the imaginary card. Did you see if it was imaginary red or imaginary yellow?

Does anyone see other players for other teams waving an imaginary card and think "It should be a card, so he's quite within his rights to wave one there to make sure the referee knows that"?

 

[Rodney Thomas]

He got rugby tackled, he's entitled to wave the imaginary card in my opinion.

To be honest when it is that blatant, yeah.

Agree it is a little ****ish but tbh I have no idea how it works over in Japan. Maybe it is not seen as ****ish over there.

Sorry ‘Shithouse‘ behaviour waving the card for the sending off.

Flip it round and Watkins does it next week and gets Adam Webster sent off

Maybe he thought the ref needed a nudge, he didn’t give us much. Trossard had got a lashed out elbow in the face that had already been ignored

It used to bother me but now I just see it as part of the theatrics of the modern game. There is no real harm is there? Nobody thinks it influences a referee surely?

 

[The Wookiee]

Skilful with his feet, got pace and can score headers that Mitrovic would have been proud of !

If it doesn't influence the referee, why do it?

 

[Javeaseagull]

Expressing an opinion? Better than screaming in a refs face, which never gets booked.

Did you not see the red card for Stephens at Boro?

 

[Guinness Boy]

Brilliant today, so entertaining to watch.

I’m not generally a fan of card waving but it’s more understandable if he doesn’t speak good English (even if he does Japanese people can be very shy about using it).

Solly had a right go at the Lino in front of us when he was fouled and the linesman didn’t give it. But then they both understood what he was saying

You used to piss me off with your Potter man crush.
Now you are really getting up my bugle with your boring "I dont love Brighton any more cos Grahams gone" spouting.
Why dont you just piss off to the Chelsea board and stick up for your hero there.
You are treated here as a sad individual that is annoying, up there, you would get both barrels from the Chelsea Luddites.

I like Swansman's input on here for the most part for the record

 

[Weststander]

One of the moral hypocrisies in the game.

Players haul or hack opponents down, to kill dangerous counter attacks and quite possibly key goals. Met with “oh well, it’s a man’s game”.

When a player overtly wants a cheating opponent punished, a silly taboo is breached.

If Webster commits a blatant foul and deserves to be sent off, then fair enough IMO.

 

[amexer]

Outstanding game but agree needs to put a stop to waving cards.

Has he done it before then? That was a goal saving rugby tackle, he looked very justifiably angry.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Brilliant player. Hugely exciting. I love direct players with acceleration.

Re the card waving, I don't think he's a bad lad and will probably think about it. My bet is we will never see him do it again

 

[Fred Oliver - Legend]

Fantastic player, did anyone see that he was waving a pretend card for the sending off. We need more of that kind of shitehousery in the opposition faces.

 

[B-right-on]

His acceleration from a near standing position is close to unstoppable.
