Looks like he may slip after he boots the ball but he smashes the other guys ankle. It will be a matter of opinion to an appeals panel.

He wont get away with it. We might as well get used to him being out for 3 games.

:rofl: don’t get me involved in that one Rob I’ll leave that to you and @Andy_Petterson

It might not have been a great time for us as a Club, but in 1952-53 Arsenal won the League and their top scorer was Doug Lishman, ex-Saddler. In 53-54 another couple of our former players, Johnny Hancocks and Bert Williams, helped Wolves win the title for the first time.
We’d have had a few decent teams over the years if we could have kept our best players.

Trouble with our captain is that he’s constantly in niggles, arguments, tussles etc, he’s always on at the ref too, not surprising ref took the easy option and got him off the field to get him out his ear hole.
You can argue it’s part of his game however the worst thing you can do is get on the wrong side of the ref, the first 50/50 and players rolls over after a tackle your getting sent off, hope he’s learnt from it but he won’t have done.

It’s a good job that he doesn’t post on here then!!!

610

Guess we haven’t appealed then?

611

No point to an appeal. Although it was a harsh sending off, there was enough in it for the decision to be reasonable.

I agree with TheCrow - Labadie is unfit to be captain. In fact, one of the duties of a captain would be to tell him to stop niggling and nagging the ref.

612

I personally like one of those characters in a squad the ones who are a pain in the arse and appeal for everything but I also agree that he shouldn’t be captain if he has those traits I have nothing against him being a pain as long as he doesn’t get carded for lunging challenges as one day his appealing might win us a free kick that leads to a goal or a corner that leads to a goal etc etc.

613

Or it might upset the referee so that when his shirt is pulled in the penalty box, as at Bradford, the ref waves play on.

Does anyone remember John Keister? He was only about 5’4" but I think that he based his tackles on watching Jackie Chan films!!! When you saw that he was going in for a tackle the whole crowd used to wince as soon as he was 10 yards away from the opposition player because we knew what was going to be the outcome. He was bloody great to watchđŸ’„

He was a psychopath as soon as he set foot on the pitch. Off it he wouldn’t say boo to a goose.
Just googled him and he’s in charge of the Sierra Leone football team - I bet that’s a tough gig.

616

He did tend to get into quite a bit of trouble though he was only sent off once for dismantling an opponent.

617

Funny how the hardest players are often quiet off the pitch and as managers, their teams often play good football.

618

I think it says it all when the rest of the Walsall players nicknamed him the Assassin!

619

Kante being a great example.

620

Or the ref does his job and calls a foul a foul. Getting at the ref never seemed to harm Roy Keane as a captain.

Wasnt quite so tough when he gobbed off at some HGV driver on the A41. Ended up locked in his own boot.
