Charlie Adam

Is anyone else getting fed up to the back teeth of Stokies complaining about the Adam retrospective red?

[rayzer]

Hasn't he done it before?

[Yukon]

It was blatant too

[Robbie Earle's Perm]

I did a game at the Academy today and it was all everyone was talking about, 5 days on!

 

I must admit I thought it was harsh but its been judged by the appropriate bodies and its time to let it go :rolleyes:

[Santa]

Haven't seen the incident. I don't watch MOTD when Stoke win.

[Beza]

I unfortunately work with a lot of Stoke (armchair) fans, Adam is a quality player in there eyes and he deserved a red card. I totally agree.

[markpvfc]

He should've been given an extra match for appealing. It wasn't a decision given by the match ref but by 3 looking at video replays of the incident, who agreed unanimously that it should've been a red.

[rayzer]

Heard it on P & G after I posted. He did a Tottenham player who missed four games after Adams did him.

[Twitters]

Considering Toure's offence against Van Wolfeswinkle was far worse, I can understand the anger from the Stoke fans.

 

It's no difference to us and Garner.

TP the question is could he have avoided stamping on him? I think he could so it was deliberate. He is a great loss and hopefully you will get stuffed in his absence mon ami ...

Fed up is an understatement....... I also think Shawcross is unlucky not to be picked for England :rolleyes:

[andy jones]

His short England debut reminded me of that donkey centre half we brought from Chasetown... Slater?

The thing is, Stoke keep banging on about how they are a little club and never get a decision and the big clubs get favoured. Yet in the next breath they bang on about what a terrible disciplinary record Arsenal have got and how they have had far more players sent off than Stoke. Does the contradicition in those two statements not strike them as bleeding obvious.

 

Secondly, they are banging on about the Yaya Toure business. That has got nowt to do with whether or not Adam deserved to get a red. If the FA made a mistake there, why should they compound it by making another mistake by letting Adam off? It's again like kids expecting not to be punished for wrong doing by saying "But he was doing it as well".

 

Scholes said "clubs like ours rarely succeed with appeals". Yet the stats show that in the last ten years Stoke have had four retrospective reds, the same as Man United, and two less than Arsenal and Man City. Adam got away with a very nasty foul on Paulinho in the game against Spurs. The bloke got ligament damage and was out for ages. Adam has form - he is a nasty piece of work - most Premier League teams have one. He also got away with a nasty challenge from behind in the box against West Brom - no foul, no card. Yet we constantly have Stoke fans on P&G bleating about how they are badly done to and how the refs have a downer on them. It's ludicrous. Do they really think that all refs get together and say let's dump on Stoke?

 

I know fans go on about refereeing decisions but the ridiculous reaction to this Adam affair from fans and club officials alike is, quite frankly, pathetic and childish in my opinion.

Don't you all realise the world is against the 'Stripey eyed ones'. Perhaps they should be renamed the 'one eyed ones'. Coates seems to like moaners first there was Tiny P now they have 'useless Ughes'. They never get a dodgy decision in their favour ahem...... Penalty against Swansea. Penalty against Arsenal, the sending off of Wes Brown against them. Need I go on.

Shut up moaning Hughes and just be happy that the Gunners are frightened to death of you clogging lot and choose to lie down whenever they come to North Staffordshire. Please don't tell me that was the real Arsenal out there last week.

TP I believe there is a conspiracy amongst the top teams Manager's to keep your lot up. Like Wenger for instance they are all in such awe and admiration of 'style-*****' that they formed the 'bequeath3to*****' charity to keep you up!
