Go throw the back of people doesn’t make you hard. It makes you cowardly. The brave ones are the ones who carrying on receiving the ball knowing that there are coward thugs looking to maim them given the chance.

Maim them!! Bit melodramatic there mate.

I’m glad he did it and got away with it. The reason he didnt get a red was that the little shitehawk he bumped went down holding his face like Tarkowski has snotted him. I find his behaviour far more abhorrent and worthy of a red than Tarkowski’s. He did what most of the Forest team did throughout the game, rolling around for minutes every time they were challenged.

Yeah I much prefer how Jack and KDH get lumps kicked out of them, go down, look pissed off, get up and tell the ref to watch him/give a count of how many times he’s done it - none of this holding face rolling around clown show.

Did you watch that YouTube video? Full of reckless over the top tackles. I remember when he did one on Richie playing for Burnley. Everyone on here wanted him hung drawn and quartered. Raging hypocrites the lot of you. You hate and despise VVD for doing exactly what you all praise Tawks for. Although he’s far less reckless.

Hypocrites? Of course we are hypocrites, we are fans Kev! All fans are biased and hypocritical to some degree or another, every single one. Does he go in heavy more than he should, yes he does! Do I prefer it that he dies it for us rather than against us, absolutely! I like Tarkowski for the exact same reason I like PsychoPat, he was a thug at times, but he was doing it to protect our players or to wind up our opponents, I personally do not find that as abhorrent as you seem to mate?

Bluebonic · 2025-12-08T08:19:16+0000

And for balance Kev, yes I would be incandescent if he did it against us, but like I say, I am a fan, bias is part of the package for the vast majority of us.

….form is decent as far as i’m concerned and leadership on the pitch is such an important factor.

Amazing how well we’ve coped without Branthwaite.

Good for you. At least you acknowledge what he is.

My main concern is him getting needlessly sent off or booked/suspended. He’s been very very lucky not to have been sent off on a number of occasions. I hope it doesn’t cost us in a big game.

Let's be fair on this one, didn't their forward start this with Tarkowski ? Tarky gave him some back and he fell down like he'd been shot. I know which player of the two I want on my team.

I get that Kev and I agree, particularly with how down to the bare bones we are defensively. I feel exactly the same way about Pickford's recent habit of arguing with the linesmen.
