Ian Wright @IanWright0

Suarez was not intentional, the way he finished made me think he thought it would be disallowed. But the officials missed it !

Ian Wright @IanWright0

Saw a Brighton player get foul, roll over twice, look up at the ref, then roll again! Gets a player sent off, then gets up. Not a word said.

Ian Wright @IanWright0

But because it's Suarez ,and yes there is previous, but on this occasion , it was not intentional! #Suarezveryeasytarget

[Captain Stu]

Comparisons to his "previous" are a bit daft too - although Wrighty is spot on in what he's saying.

[Alex]

I think he means the previous in the World Cup. Which was intentional He cheated Africa out of the World Cup you know.

[RichC]

Well said Ian Wright, the way he lashed the ball in the net looks to me like he expected it to be blown up for handball, it wasn't so like any striker he takes the goal.

Only issue is it's Luis, if it was our brave John Terry or a Paul Scholes nothing would have been made of it and the officials would be getting the grief. Perhaps an extra offical behind the line in all games would be a good idea!

Yeah, that's why comparisons are stupid, one was as blatant a handball as you will ever see and the other is a clear ball-to-hand.

I do wonder what the stance of the jouno's over here had been if it had been England and one of our players that had done that in the WC.

Well I don't remember too many calls for Phil Neville to be burned at the stake when he blatantly handled on the line.

People need to face facts - footballers are cheats and 99.9999999999% of them will do whatever it takes to win. The difference is that most don't have the bollocks to admit it.

Actually it happened in 1998 or so when Poland played England at Wembley. Clear handball by Scholes (got hattrick that day). It was qualifier to Euro2000. I`m almost tempted to check what did they write at the time.

[Captain Stu]

What about Sol Campbell's disallowed goal for climbing on an opponent? Is that not cheating, ie, gaining an unfair advantage through nefarious means? I don't remember him being villified, quite the opposite.

[Lecter]

Still a big concern that we only really look impressive when teams give us the space to do our thing. It's not the first time that as soon as the opposition realise this and start closing us down and play direct that we really struggle. This is Mansfield so why the need to drop so deep and invite pressure?

This is a big worry for me

We have nobody in midfield who offers a physical presence or the ability to compete for the ball

[vlahka]

I might have missed it but does anyone know why our fans were singing 'Your support is ****ing ****?'

[Shaggy]

We weren't, it was the Mansfield fans.

[vlahka]

You sure? From the level of noise I could of sworn it was ours. Anywhere listed saying it was them?
