***Treble Winners v Forest Official Match Thread***

[blues2win]

Pep says ‘hopefully Rodri will learn’. Obviously not pleased and understandably so. Rodri will be relieved Forest didn’t get back into the match but he’ll be missed at the Emirates,

[BlueinBosnia]

That rodent went down like a tonne of bricks because he felt foden's hand go into his throat.

And no one fucking pointed that out.

It should be appealed because there was no excessive force and that's what the rule states unless it's to the head

That's what my opinion is. Red card, yes, but the offence that drew the ref's attention (him dropping to the floor), didn't happen, so it may just be a 1 match ban.

Pep says Rodri has apologised to his team mates.

[nottsblue]

Gibs-White must have been inspired by the statue of Trautmann as he was coming in to have been able to play on with a broken neck. So brave…..

[nottsblue]

Pep says Rodri has apologised to his team mates.

Hopefully Phillips has as well

[Beefymcfc]

I do feel a little sorry for Philips, not much, of course, but he’s been brought in to cover what can be considered the worlds finest centre mid. How the fuck you you match-up to a Rolls Royce like Rodri?

Our Rolls Royce is in dock now so time to get Stones off the ramps - we need to find a functioning alternative - even if it is a lesser marque.

You might elect loads of talking point on an expected ordinary game like this - you choose.
But one stands out as ultimate absorber: Raggy Tony is an "hors categorie" fucking excruciating cunt!

Foden being the one that touched GW on the neck, is all that much weirder when you find out GW is Godfather to Foden’s kids..

When that calls come, he will join one of his best mates in Foden, who has asked Gibbs-White to be godfather to his children.

“I’m still in touch with Phil, still really close. I’m godparent to his kids. It just shows that anything is possible. I was in that Under-17 World Cup team so if those guys can do it, so can I.”

On his relationship with Foden, Gibbs-White added: “We just had a good connection. I met him at 16, we just got on. We roomed together quite a bit. He’s always been a nice kid, Phil.


I honestly think Rodri has nothing to apologise for. He was booted up and down and nothing was done. Pep can say he’s angry all he wants, Pep lost it and was booked as well today - has he apologised to the players?

Disappointed in Foden at the incident, initially he can see it happen but ambles over to stop his mate and teammate getting at each other rather than sprinting in to stop it. Then he touches Gibbs-White on the neck which causes Gibbs-White to elbow him in the ribs and then collapse. Foden was visibly hurt by the elbow to the ribs but didn't even make Taylor aware of it or let him know it was his hand on Gibbs-White's neck not Rodri's. Too many times our players are getting kicked and pulled all game but very rarely go down, which is commendable, but are then booked for fouls when the opponent goes to ground for the very same foul we push through. Level playing field it most certainly is not.

I think Grealish would have made that count if he was there instead of Foden.

On a side note, I remember a rag cunt doing this? Casemiro? How many fixtures was he out? Anyone remembers?

[ayrshireblue]

Casemiro was suspended for 3 games for the red card against Palace when he pushed a Palace player in the face. He then got another red card in a later gane that resulted in a further 4 match ban.

Cheers. So not looking good.

The case for the defence is either the above has been photoshopped or that Rodri's hands never left his shoulders - MGW dropped to the floor like a sack of spuds faking throat contact - a well known trick from p 41 of The PIGMOL How To Cheat City Out of Their Title Manual.

Who was the guy who trod on Rodri’s foot ib the first half…..he was probably still peeved about that as it clearly hurt him

[Outcast]

I think we all need to calm down. We are getting too emotionally invested in this. As great as Roderi is, he could have learnt a thing or two from Fern when it comes to technical dark arts.
We all know referees are wank, opposition will rile us, there nothing new.

P.s, Roderi needed resting, wish it didn't come against Arsenal. Let's see what Pep can do without him, it could have been worst, he could've picked up an injury

Gibbs-White was the player who stamped down on his foot. Immediately before the incident he hip checked Rodri, may have been a foul, but that and the barge in the back at the corner seem to have pushed Rodri over the edge.

[carl_feedthegoat]

Foden , Alvarez, Walker ,Doku and haaland has to be the most potent attacking group of players in the Prem.

Not being funny , we are looking better without KDB as these guys are gelling together .

I thought we were brilliant until the cunt in the middle decided to fuxk the game up .

[patrickblue]

As I said in the media thread, it all happened right in front of me and was quite bizarre. It just looked like normal hand bags until they separated, at which point Gibbs White seemed to look around him for what seemed ages at the time (probably a split second), then just threw himself to the ground clutching his head.
At the time I felt sure VAR would change it to a yellow, but upon seeing replays, Rodri does put his hands in a position that looks to all the world like GW's throat.
Whether it was meant to be shoulders is pretty irrelevant.
End of the day, Rodri should know better, and GW was basically cheating, simulating injury.
As for Foden, he obviously had split loyalties toward a team mate, and someone who is obviously a very close friend.

If it was Jack, he'd probably got himself sent off too!
