How long does it take to organise a stretcher?

This is ridiculous.

I think they're probably trying to stem the bleeding first, before moving him.

Looking at the replay I can't believe Dike is still on the pitch. He can feel McNair behind him and lashes out with his elbow. Violent conduct all day long for me.

 

[dooderooni]

Not sure about a red on first viewing. No doubt it'll look like Rocky Vs Drago in slomo.

 

[TeaCider]

McNair now getting oxygen.

 

[BoroMart]

Sly elbow that. How can it go unpunished?

It’s a red for me, it’s aggressively thrown at the face and connected

 

[Liamo]

Red card no? Deliberate elbow looks to have broken his nose, looks almost out cold.

I think if there was VAR in the championship there'd be a good chance of the referee being sent to view that on the monitor and a red card being given.

 

[Laughing]

All the best to paddy

 

[dribble]

Fry should lift Dike first chance he gets

Agree, he didn't even bring it back for a foul initially which suggests to me he didn't see it.

Plenty of fans didn't see it either, as seen by a poster calling him **** whilst he's bleeding on the floor.

Three times our guy got up from McNair and signalled for the stretcher. Even the ref made a gesture for one.

 

[ForssAwakens]

I’m not having Zak Steffan is a good keeper. I’m sorry he has several mistakes a game

 

[Scrug]

We’ve dominated the game away to a decent team, that’s not awful. It’s only a couple of hits of bad defending that have been bad, let’s stop with the hyperbole

I didn’t say we’d been awful, I said that half was awful. And it was.

Jesus, can’t say anything on this board can you?

Said we should drop him after the Sheff Utd game and got dogs abuse for it. There’s a mistake or a wobble every single game and you can see how unconvinced our defence are.

 

[ThePrisoner]

We are going to get nowt from this game. Just wasting our own time tapping the ball around to no effect whatsoever.

 

[Glover_elbow]

Steffan is a F***ing clown

 

[r00fie1]

Steffan!

 

[gravy173]

Steffen

We’re lucky to have him don’t you know!

You said it after the game where he made save after save and played brilliantly?
Weird match to choose.
