Best Of

ah ok. I doubt that they take the player's reaction into account when looking at the tackle but I could be wrong. As with a lot of things with football I don't think this particular incident is black and white. I think you can make a case for it to be red, and you can make a case for it to be yellow. For this reason I can't see it being overruled. It certainly wasn't a howler.

It's a shame the Birmingham player can't be retrospectively booked for his play acting though. It was utterly pathetic. I might be old school but I will never understand players pretending to be injured when they are not. When I used to play you'd go out of your way to show that you weren't hurt, even if you were. That said, if we start down that road then there would be a lot of goalkeepers booked for that thing they do when they sit on the ground and tell the ref they need to see a physio whilst the rest of the team trot over to the sideline for instructions from the coach (and yes, sadly our keepers are guilty of this as well, along with pretty much every other keeper in the league)

It's just about the thing I hate most about football at the moment. I'm at the point where I think if a keeper goes down "injured" and "needs" "treatment" they should be made to leave the field for a bit the same as outfield players

(just read all this back and I don't half sound old)

Thinking about packed houses..

We beat Slough (with hundreds watching from the hill.

Wolverhampton Wanderers in the greatest Cup run ever.

This is our house.

Interesting to see most here are sticking with Fred. For me, it’s a rest for him and try something new.

I always look forward to playing Burton. The sight of that fat yellow b*****d on the badge always makes me smile 😄.

It's definitely a very much want to win game, as we need to start building some momentum for these final thirteen games.

Can't hardly believe we're actually second - but we got here on merit and have earned the right to challenge for automatic promotion. Let's return to playing with a bit more confidence and swagger.

Yes exactly.

I'd be disappointed if Grimmer and Sadlier were on the beach already.

I think he meant there is usually a player (or ex player) on the appeal panel?

...in 2007 (18 years ago) Matt Bloomfield played 90 minutes, and scored, for Wycombe Wanderers in a 3-0 League Two win over Macclesfield Town at Adams Park. Highlights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiysHymDdtU

In 2012 (13 years ago) Matt Bloomfield came on as a 56th minute substitute (replacing Lewis Laing) for Wycombe Wanderers in a 4-1 League One defeat to Scunthorpe United at Glanford Park.

In 2015 (ten years ago) Matt Bloomfield played 89 minutes for Wycombe Wanderers in a 2-1 League Two win over Tranmere Rovers at Prenton Park (replaced by Peter Murphy).

Here’s his quote: Yellow card, absolute nailed on yellow, he’s got that one wrong! If I were his club I’d appeal. He might not get off because you’re dependent on who’s on the panel.

“I think if a player looks at that and he’s on the panel he’s going to say that’s a yellow and not a red.”
