One thing nobody can argue, whether he has done it once, or every week. The yellow card and one match ban were justified, He isn't a dirty player in my books. But it wasn't a smart tackle, and was designed to throw Gale off his game/take him out.

The punishment was correct.

The consistency is the only thing, Those in Cherry and White have been doing this for years and getting away scot free.

Definitely feel as though we're not getting the rub of the green lately. I suppose it's a case of 'never give a sucker an even break'

I've said it before and will repeat it !!

It's the timing and often the position in which he gives a penalty away this was on the last tackle when we were about to get the ball back he has given penaltys away on our own line needleslwy and on opposition line early in the tackle count it's these that are making his penaltys stand out !!

He has not performed to his usual high standards I think the leadership roll he could do without ! Not meant as a criticism just don't get the feeling it's one of his strong points unburden him from that responsibility and let him focus on what he does best!! I also think that given how he has consistantly played in the past that we can give him a pass this season and feel confidant he will do everything within his power to get back on form.

That's weird as Chris Hill tends to stick in my mind for giving penalties away. Maybe it's where on the field he does it, I've noticed a couple of hands-on-the-ball right in front of our sticks. Or maybe I just watch Chris Hill as our captain a bit more intensely than the others.
