Watford Fc 1-2 Wolverhampton Wanderers - 27/04/2019

Wasting time by putting on a mask is no different to taking off a shirt - did he get booked for it? I did not notice.

 

Do one loser.

 

Because he lost?

 

If someone put on a mask as a celebration in a Sunday league game, they'd be mocked openly, and probably punched in the face.

And quite rightly so.

 

We should have been chanting ‘unleash the ****’ at him but Watford supporters are far too polite.

 

Man wears mask.
Another man who is hyper and tired has a microphone shoved in his face and says something silly.

Cue OTT social media Bow Locks.
Modern life is rubbish.

 

Seriously though. Wolves fans lording it over beating a team on temporary gardening leave until May 18th is the very pinaccle of tinpot club over achieving. They've had a great season beating some quality teams but this one seems to be the biggie for them. It's quite sweet in a way.

 

Awesome album.

 

Don't remember it. The 90s was just a blur.

 

What a ****. Is he 11 years old.

 

I actually agree, as I said earlier on, to me and you it is a childish thing to do, but that is not the same thing as trying to insult or antagonise Watford players.
That is the point I was trying to make.

 

This whole mask thing is ridiculous.

Loads of players do rubbish celebrations (sucking the thumb one is a pet hate of mine). I’m amazed when scoring a goal that should have won you the game, at Wembley, in a cup semifinal, he calmly thought ‘must get the mask on’. Crap celebration but harmless.

Deeney got asked about it and made a comment which was slightly provocative. Oh well, move on.

Rivalries come about from teams challenging for similar goals and big matches. Hence we’ve had them with Leicester, Crystal Palace, Bournemouth and now it looks like wolves may come into it. Adds a bit of spice to a game and as long as it doesn’t overstep a mark then no problem!

 

The only time the wearing of masks at football should have been allowed was when Peter Beardsley and Iain Dowie were playing.


If Deeney's remarks put a stop to this ridiculous trend then all well and good.

FIFA LAW 12 FOULS & MISCONDUCT

• Players can celebrate when a goal is scored, but the celebration must not be excessive; choreographed celebrations are not encouraged and must not cause excessive time-wasting.
• Leaving the field of play to celebrate a goal is not a cautionable offence but players should return as soon as possible.
• A player must be cautioned for:
  • Climbing onto a perimeter fence and/or approaching the spectators in a manner which causes safety and/or security issues.
  • Gesturing or acting in a provocative, derisory or inflammatory way.
  • Covering the head or face with a mask or other similar item.
  • Removing the shirt or covering the head with the shirt.

 

Michael Oliver with another biased performance.

 

Deeney has got away with wearing that Sloth mask for years.

 

I thought those two did wear masks!

 

The rules are only allowed to teams/players that officials do not like. I thought that was common knowledge. A blind eye is turned if the team is a top side, liked by the media or the player is a big name.

Which one of these applies to Kabasele then? He got away with a clear penalty when he went through the man to get the ball towards the end of the game.

 

Because the ref thought he won the ball. Sticking an idiot mask on your head is kind of indisputable?

 

That was a judgement call. You may agree or disagree.

Not applying the rules when it suits is when you don't book a player for wearing a mask in a goal celebration, which is flouting the rules.

 

There’s a chip on the shoulder.

For 50 years not even the best team not even in Birmingham.

Got a massive adrenaline shot from the Chinese & the agent, & don’t know how to handle it.

 

Excellent name.

Do you have a HdV haircut?

 

What’s wrong with Kendo Nagasaki?

Did he not grow up in Wolverhampton?

 

Should Troy wear a balaclava?

 

Kabs is cool & witty.

He’s the Steve Coogan Steve Coogan thinks he is.

 

One incident that wasn’t highlighted in this match (because it didn’t result in a goal) was the sloppy short free kick in the second half that was intercepted by Jimenez. When the ball was returned to him he was offside and his shot missed anyway. But why didn’t the ref stop play and make Watford retake the free kick because Jimenez was not 10 yards away?

 

I was going to mention that, there was a couple of decisions shortly after that which the ref also just ignored. Its all well and good letting the game flow, but you've got to blow the whistle sometimes.

 

Whenever I hear Jimenez’ name mentioned it just reminds be Milhouse’s catchphrase as Fallout Boy ’Jiminy Jilkers’.

He wore a stupid mask too but had the excuse that he was playing a superhero side-kick in a cartoon.

I’ll leave you with an image to compare with the **** that plays for Wolfs:

 

No chip on any shoulder, we have indeed not been very good since the 1970s, certainly other clubs like Villa (the biggest Midland club),and our Black Country rivals (not Birmingham) Albion have lorded over us for long spells now.

Certainly we are only where we are due to Chinese money, same as your input when you had so many Italian players - hopefully it will give us the boost to attain stability and we can emulate what Watford have done. There is no level playing field in football and you either get lucky or in the main stay where you are. I think we are currently at least, handling it all very well thank you. It may not last of course, Nuno could get poached and it could all come tumbling down.

But Fosun are determined to make Wolves a powerhouse, I can't see it personally.

 

Also we would still be in the race for 7th if we had got at least a point against Arsenal (when others are beating them) and another two against the Saints. Lester in particular could catch them and 7th guarantees them nothing IF we beat Citee.

 

While our seven years of Pozzo ownership has provided many players from their famous scouting network, not as many as you may think have been Italians. By my reckoning this is the list: Cassetti and Angella each played two full seasons, Faraoni one and Munari half of our promotion year, while Okaka was a back-up striker. Beyond them we had Fabbrini as a bit-part player, Motta on a short-term contract and Diamanti on loan for a few games. For the record Battocchio and Forestieri played for the Italian U-21s but are Argentinian.
