I understand where you’re coming from but the game is different now, you can’t do anything. Grabbing someone by the hair is an act of violence. I don’t think Keane did it with malice, even so he shouldn’t have done it.

Fair enough mate. But that's how I ended up grabbing/meeting my ex-wife, albeit not on the football pitch.

@grok turn Barry into a footballer

The only positives here are

1. Amstrong
2. Pickford is still boss
3. Hwang's Son Heung-Min's career ender didn't Gomes Armstrong

I thought Timmy was good although a little frustrating with no end product.

 

[Papa Shango]

Baffled that some people actually think Keane was justified in getting a red. No wonder the game is gone and no one watches anymore.

You have never been allowed to pull hair!

Give over, the squad needs investment over a number of windows, Sunderland will likely fade away and the other sides are better then us !

Reality is add branththwaite, ndiaye, gana gueye, KDH and Alcaraz to that team and we win easily

People forget we don't have the squad depth yet, it will take time

Just be glad we aren't struggling against relegation like the last few years and be realistic that it will take time and patience to get us back up the league

We should still be winning that game even with the team we had out. It was a dreadful performance against a very poor team

With all the madness I just want to mention the highlight of the night for me being Mykolenko's "shot" in the first half.

I burst out laughing at it, possibly the worst attempt I have ever seen.

Not the air shot, the one he spooned out for a throw.

Its bad I have to clarify which one really...

Oh my days. I recall that Pitiful

Just about sums him up.

He made a couple of great runs at their defence but never laid it off when he had players free to either side of him.

 

[COYBL25]

If Wolves had shown a bit more self belief, that could very easily have been another defeat.

There was only that young lad up front who scored, who looked like he wanted to have a go.

The same old problems that we haven’t addressed for years remain.

Zero pace throughout the team.
Zero goal threat up front.
Add to that no right back and a left back who is only capable of defending.

It’s baffling how long this has been allowed to go on.

exceptional finish mane.

It does feel like we're a bit of a social experiment at times and actively hinder ourselves.

The lack of professionalism at times this season has been inexplicable - the last thing we can afford when an already limited squad is stretched.

I agree with the general gist of other clubs getting away with the same things and it is absolute bs, yes - but simply unacceptable from 2 experienced players to allow the referee to have to make a decision.

We continue to amaze.

Watching the incident in slow motion, you can almost see Keane’s thought process thinking he’s got the shirt then realising it’s the hair and letting go.

Crazy decision to give a red. Would’ve been different if he’d pulled / yanked the hair to drag the player.

If that’s a red, I’m telling all our players to grow their hair long because it would be a major advantage every time a ball goes into the box from corners and throw ins!

At the risk of sounding like an old man shouting at clouds, the game has truly gone.

 

[salmon fingers]

Terrible game to watch and very frustrating and a result of our best players being missing to injury and afcon. But we spent almost 50 million on players who have completed maybe 4 games and while I understand the building for the future with young players and I don't blame them, we needed expenditure on the here and now full backs and maybe a winger because our bench had nothing to offer tonight. I also think Moyes got it wrong again tonight and I like Moyes

 

[EcclesEFC]

Absolutely fed up after yet another rubbish performance. I wouldn't mind if they even looked interested but they really don't. We make the effort to turn up, why don't they?
