Wigan FA Cup post-match thread

[Gaylord du Bois]

just looked and has been taken down, basically shows all the wigan clowns on the pitch givin it put to the city end and not one steward or copper stopping them

Sounds like our lads showed a fair bit of restraint.

Right my view on tonight, never a red and it didn't help things but we still were in control, mistake cost us and now i'm not sure what walker was thinking but its one of them and nonetheless he's been brilliant all season and so has everyone else.

My main worry isn't this team or management its half the folk on here massively over reacting, it wasn't our night, get over it and we still have an incredible finish to a season ahead of us, the people slagging players off need to give themselves a head shake, it makes me think most of the moaners are only the ' new ' fans, relegation's and lower league football wont be familiar with them.

With 11 men we don't lose that game. Even if only cos danilo doesn't make that particular mistake at that particular time, which is the only way they looked like scoring.

That tackle against one of ours, do you think he would've sent their player off?

I think we all know it would be a yellow (if that, judging by the reaction of the earlier knee-high challenge in Aguero)... but that shouldn’t be the standard.

I can’t really complain about the red as it was on the wrong side of borderline for me.

What I will complain about (until Taylor is canned or jailed) is the inconsistency in what is and isn’t a red card offence. And there is an argument to be made that Delph’s poor challenge would have never occurred had their player been rightly sent off earlier in the match.

 

[K.Reeves right foot]

What irks is the fact and its fast becoming a fact that its only endangering an opponent if its a City player making the tackle.

4 mins in and Kun has his knee nearly snapped in half and its not even a yellow card?

No doubt that's why pep went mental. Dont blame him. Just pray pep doesn't become dissilousioned with the officiating and not stay beyond the contract.

I think a few players have played themselves out of contention for a starting berth on Sunday, as harsh as it sounds Stones, Silva and Sane were just not at the races today.

 

[The Black Shed]

Correct Wigan have a defence.

Played sir

 

[levets]

He is not a winger.

Fantastic player who is being asked to do a job and so far he has done that.

Agree he’s not a winger. That’s plain to see.

No, sounds very raggish if we can't take the winning team celebrating.
