That would be a mockery of any sense of discipline, not talking about Carroll thinking he can get away with anything (which will endear him even more problems in the future). Not even Hughton would do that, surely. Not uncommon though is it? Those Hull boys fought in front about 50 women and they faced no punishment. I don't like it, but it's happened before. I suppose if he has actually injured Taylor, some punishment is probaly mandatory, tbh. Lets get some perspective the two fighting on the Humber bridge were Barmby & Bullard, the members of the Womens Institue who watched the fight could deck the pair of them. What we have here is a 6ft 4inch Gatesheed thug who has whacked someone again, here is a list of his previous victims: girlfriend, Charles N'Zogbia, Michael Cook (Blu Bamboo victim) & now Stevie Taylor. I don't see what size has to do with it. I'm a big lad myself, and I'd hope people would give me fair treatment. I agree about the point of him having a history though. At this point, it must be said the pattern does not bode well for him or for this football club.

Tbh, the more I think of it, nothing will probaly come of this unless Taylor would press charges. I wouldn't be surprised if Carroll played tommorow.

Really hope Carroll hasn't done something foolish again. He's a promising player with a future, but he'll go the way of Marlon King if he keeps this nonsense up. Breaking someone's jaw while awaiting trial? Brilliant.

Shola is close to fitness. He'll make up for missed time.

It's a shame that they weren't the average standard though. billytray was saying Pele was doing it against better competition, but that is simply untrue. The standard of football was worse, the defending was worse, and players were less athletic. Tactics were less developed as well. It is ridiculous to say any from the 60's faced better competition than those in top leagues currently.

Was the average standard of footballer in the 1960's really better than it is at the present? I would doubt that.

Pompey would only have been four or five adrift without the penalty. It was a possibilty unti they hit administration.

Actually, it is quite surprising that teams are not already doing this, just for the extra income it provides forom rabid fans who will buy whatever the team wears. I guess that is the point of those third strips that teams almost never actually wear, but some US teams will wear around six different strips in a season.

Imo, it speaks volumes that no one has snapped up Gamst from Blackburn all these years. Inconsistent, lazy player who does something brilliant once in a red moon, nothing more.

Who signed him, btw? Seems like he came in right at the end of the Allardyce regime.

This season, yes. When we are in the Premiership, no...not at all. The truth of the matter is that someone like me will definitely have seen less of the football. It is only a problem when big headed idiots use it in an insulting way.

Loving this!! We just need one more!!

Back in this!! Get Ranger in. Lets go on now!

Routledge and Guthrie have both been really rubbish today.

Does Sno know the rules of football. He's fouled in every minute he's been on the pitch.

Sno has no place on a football pitch. Amazing to think he was once considered a promising player.

Such a waste of a Saturday afternoon this is. I'm currently watching an internet stream of someone taping a television screen and we're playing rubbish.

Want West Ham to win. Really don't want Arsenal to win the title. Delighted to see Kanu get the winner also. The King is back!

Match is by no means over, yet. I think we have a decent shot to get back into this game.

Scored the goal of the season against us.

What the hell is this??!

Left I always thought that, and I was certain he was watching him, until he took a penalty with his right v Reading or someone and I was dumbfounded... Very two footed player. Not a penalty taker at all though. Shouldn't have been given that responsibilty just because he was #9 striker. You'll remember him taking a penalty with his left against Everton that was a threat to planes.

He was two footed. His right was very strong when it came to shooting and passing. It's just that his left is naturally dominant foot, and this was evident if you watched him receive the ball, run with it, etc. edit: Actually, quite sure he took penalties with both feet. The fact is that he was too much of a loose cannon to be on penalty duties period.
