2020/21 Jarrad Branthwaite

Great performance after a shaky start. Very mature for an 18 year old. Just needs game time and he will back looking for a starting spot near season ... COYB

I treat anything Colin W@nker says like a weevil in a cornfield -- in one ear and out the other.

 

[Ring master]

Probably a good Job he was held back, whatever Warnock said, as others didnt like it either

 

[ToffeeTim]

Warnock being Warnock. An irrelevance in football.

Good experience for him. He'll learn from that. Weirdly I like Warnock, don't ask me why, however balling out an 18 year old isn't helpful. That said 18 or 38, if you're old enough to be out there you're fair game. Particularly after nearly taking someone's head off !

“MY BALL!”

 

[dublinbluenose]

Ooffff

 

[Northeastblue]

The challenge looked horrible but was a total accident, nothing more. Branthwaite was looking at the ball all the way. Warnock know that better than anyone, but he has his image to maintain.

Looked an accident to me

Warnock just looking out for his player

Told him he should be ashamed apparently. That's likely the censored version

What defender attacks that ball with their foot, dearie me, poor that.

Hopefully one that learns from it, could easily take a teammate out in the same way

 

[Caolam]

It certainly wasn’t pretty and the lad made a mistake in raising his foot so high in the box. I can understand an immediate reaction from players as the player could have been badly injured.
Be interesting to see if a charge is levelled against Warnock. My first thoughts were that he should be charged with bringing the game into disrepute by being a dick; but on second thoughts he would have a ready made defence in that he has been a dick for many years without sanction.

Tony Mowbray: "Neil will be really hurting I am pretty sure and that's reflecting in his emotion and passion for his football club. That's how I see it."

For me the perfect reply, makes Warnock come across as a bad loser and a whinger (which he is).

 

[Pabbers]

Thats a shocking challange. If that was against our lad, we would all be raging in here.

What makes it worse for me, is he doesn't even seem sorry at all, he looks to be laughing it off.

The lad he did it on, is also a very young and very highly rated centre back, damn shame that, hope he recovers quick.
