toontownman Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Big Joe doesn't do friendlies. Not quite Colo level though. He was immense again. The way he holds up the ball and finds a pass in tight corners is fantastic. We had some pretty good link up play in general tonight. A high quality striker with pace would really help us.

I'm sure there was a vid with Joe and Bruno and they mentioned the accent thing within Brazil itself (why wouldn't there be, like here) but with a snobbier regard to Portuguese Portuguese if that makes sense.

xLiaaamx Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Insane rule. We had a Portuguese ref playing against a Portuguese side. How is any suspension he gives out deemed fair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 It’s extremely silly that cards in friendlies mean anything. What happens if he gets sent off in training… has to miss the next session? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 It does seem ridiculous but fortunately not a massive deal as he'll just play on the Saturday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 To be honest, giving a red for a friendly is off and the Ref was a little bitch last night. However, that challenge was deserving of a red card and I don’t have an issue with him missing a friendly because of it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the club has publicised that we've proactively suspended him for Atalanta to attempt remove any prospect of him being suspended for Forest, in case there is such a mechanism.

madras Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I'm still trying to find out if any punishment would ha e been different had it been a straight red for violent conduct. I'm sure it used to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I thought him and Bruno were pretty clumsy last night. Hopefully it was just an off day, really no excuse for that sort of recklessness in a friendly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Giving a red in a friendly is so weirdly unproductive unless it was serious shit and purely intentional. Joe went in hard and late and he should’ve had a huge talking from the Ref and they should have continued play. It’s so stupid. “Oh let’s now make him serve a suspension” in a friendly game where both squads pay for this match to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Roy Keane and Ivanovic are the other red cards I can remember in the Charity Shield I wish we’d had 5 red cards in ‘96 and got to just end the match early Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Although its bollocks, and that Ref was a nutter, Joelinton did come on like he was intentionally going after people. The red was deserved in fairness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) If we get Maddison and Bruno moves into the middle I wonder how Big Jo would do as an RCM instead of a LCM? I get that part of it's to cover Maxi like. Edited July 31, 2022 by Hanshithispantz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
