brooksy   10 #37 Posted November 10, 2008 Apart from the ref being atrocious (which by all accounts he was, from both sets of fans), the only thing I can think is that the ref thought Morgan had blocked him off with his arm (rather than catching him with the elbow), would depend what view the ref had I suppose... so booked him for obstructing Hume (rather than, like you say, elbowing him). If the ref had the angle of view that Sky showed, he'd have certainly been sent off, regardless of whether it was intentional or not.Spot on there pal.I honestly think that "any" supporter who sees that and isnt shocked is very blinkered.Hope the guy makes a quick recovery and is ok.Morgan being a so called "hardman" has not got a licence to assault people during a game of football and after looking at the tv footage should be ashamed.As for punishment his club should act straight away and let the fa take a look.Talk of sufc being made responsible is rubbish but Morgan should.

andyowl   10 #38 Posted November 10, 2008 they cant give the club a points deduction, dont know if you was being sarcastic then. if it was that bad then morgan could get a long ban but cant see points   not sarcastic mate brooking could see this as a way to "pay back utd"  if utd dont act quick brooking will set up a witch hunt so to speak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
NERVY-OWL Â Â 197 #39 Posted November 10, 2008 i do feel sorry for refs though having to try to spot an elbow, deciding if its deliberate etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
brooksy   10 #40 Posted November 10, 2008 Just seen it again and it gets worse.The ball hasnt even arrived and Morgan has nailed the guy.:loopy:Morgan isnt even jumping so can anyone explain why he ends up smashing the guy.Neil Warnock on sky has said it is a bad challenge ,but Morgan isnt a dirty player.:confused: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
CorkerSWFC Â Â 10 #41 Posted November 10, 2008 i do feel sorry for refs though having to try to spot an elbow, deciding if its deliberate etc. Â Surely its a matter of time before they sort out all these dodgy decisions which keep happening. goal line decisions, refs giving 3 yellows (lol), elbows, two footed challenge's, diving, sick celebrations, the fa and Fifa have got a lot to be thankfull for, i don't think they would like it if one day every1 just stopped playing, until they found a decent solution to a big problem, then they would wake up.

bladebloke   10 #42 Posted November 10, 2008 not sarcastic mate brooking could see this as a way to "pay back utd"  if utd dont act quick brooking will set up a witch hunt so to speak  so your admitting brookings bent then.  saddens me that a bloke is in hospital and some wendys are using it as a sick stunt to have a pop at united. i remember mick speight getting stretchered of at the sty on boxing day and wendys jeering him round the ground. seems its ok when it goes your way.  looking at it again i think it should have been a red. but you pigs on here are starting a witch hunt on morgan and most of you by your own admission hav'nt even seen it.

brooksy   10 #43 Posted November 10, 2008 Simon Davey is out of order with his comments regards this. He is using Iain Hume as a pawn to have a rant at referees's and it is absolutely disgusting.  Hopefully Hume can get a speedy recovery and be back playing soon.  For me this wasn't a malicious challenge, and I could certainly not see any intent. The incident was basically Hume and Morgs going for a challenge together, Morgs was behind, got himself in front and did catch him with his elbow and won the ball.  For me, a yellow card shouldn't have been shown, never mind a red.  I am not a fan of Morgan as a player, I think he is a bit thuggish, however I will stick up for him on this occasion.  As for the other comments by Davey, if there was a stonewall penalty on Moore, then I didn't see it. I'm struggling to think of what incident he meant, never mind did I see any wrestling moves in action. Honest Rob you really dont think that is a yellow card.You really suprise me man.:( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

NERVY-OWL Â Â 197 #45 Posted November 10, 2008 why a witch hunt bb? it is being discussed. i have said i cant comment whether it was deliberate or not but from what i've heard it wasnt nice. if a wednesday player had done it or done it to a utd player then you wouldnt shut up about it.

brooksy   10 #48 Posted November 10, 2008 Iwoudnt call it a witch hunt to be honest.Anyone who sees it will see exactly what Morgan does.Whether its your team or not it that kind of thing woudnt be allowed on a rugby pitch nevermind a football pitch.Have to say a bit suprised by one or two blades comments on here who have seen the incident .I did say earlier that sufc shoudnt and will not be made accountable for this incident but come on look at what morgan has done to the guy.::( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
