Craig Bellamy

Felt sorry for him actually. When that tosser ref gave handball against him in the 2nd half you could see him thinking "ffs if that's handball I give up!".

To answer your question - he's usually leading from the front against the lesser lights so I'm not sure what games you are thinking of? At the end of the day we were collectively shite and whilst I'm a big fan, he's not good enough to compensate for 7 under-performing colleagues.

Tbf to his collegues, Bellamy underperformed today aswell, it happens to all players, and all teams.

He didn't get the decisions today Ferdinand handballed it in the 1st half and the ref let them play on.

 

[Carl_Man_City]

Thought he was poor today

BUT

Referee's just fucking love to give stuff against him

I'm not sure the pitch helped him today - the ball wouldn't roll so he couldn't run with it.

Yep, the pitch was not good for running with the ball and the ref gave some very poor calls against him.

He doesn't help himself gobbing off at them all the time though.

Exactly thats how he plays and it won't change. Referee's don't like it and were just going to have to deal with it. Its not the only time hes had decisions go against him and it won' be the last.

 

[queezyfish]

the one with mensah was disgraceful, falls and immediately holds his head when he slipped on the crap pitch and was pushed by hutton... to be fair though, foy was in no position to see it and it's pretty easy to blame bellers when it's clear that no ref likes him

 

[Skashion]

Not his best game but picked up, along with everyone else, after the subs were made during the second half.

Is it acceptable though if we don't get the swing decision that will cost us 2 or 3 points?
Should we keep on coddling him then at the expense of a 4th. place or can we at least persuade him to change his ways and suck it up for the team?
