samba diakite

[blue and white]

i did not see the first booking so was suprised when he got a red.but i though looked good needs some time to settle in again but think he could do the business

[silvercue]

Well considering he helped turn the game for us hard to be too angry, very reckless but wish ref had given him a chance. If only he was English and white.

That is just ridiculous and a pathetic comment. Did you not realsie white players get sent off?

[Gtleighsr3]

think he may mean,he could if developed right and been white ok not white but english he could be an international.



or just being racist

I think he means if he was white and English he may get more benefit of the doubt in tackling?

[James1979]

I actually think he was just a little too fired up. He's been away from the squad for whatever reason, had not been at his best in the first 2 games. The Diakite we saw today was the one from last season. somone needed to go flying in on that big brute diame and the rest of those c.u.nts. The first yellow was fine, the second he needed then to just hold back. I should also add that it was a shocking layoff from one of our players that led to the issues. I just hope hughes doesn't hold this against him.....like warnock and traore. We lost the game in the first half though.

that;s how I read it eg nolan

[fisnik]

He would get a lot more benefit from the ref if he tries to look understanding and put his hand up and apologise if he commits a foul. Refs like that and cut you some slack... Instead of when you looked shocked and incensed when the whistle blows. Of course we must realise that to get to grips with all these things it's very hard for him right now when he's probably got a lot of things in his mind.

england intrnationals get preferential treatment in the prem, we all know this. for exmple noble could have been sent off in the last few minutes for his fowl on hoillet i think it was

samba is too hot headed though, but u now he's just trying to help a bit too hard. at least he cares though! more than u can say about much of the team.

[Gtleighsr3]

so the poster isnt in the Klan then

[dave58]

He could be a very good player for us, someone needs to grab him and calm him down, very unlucky to be sent off, also no wonder he's depressed it seems he's a marked man and all the refs want to send him off.

assumed it was a reference to aguero's claim that homegrown players seem to get decisions that overseas players aren't.

to me, samba should have started... maybe hughes didn't do that because he thought that was too risky (and if so, he was right and i was wrong). when he can avoid getting a second yellow (has he ever avoided a first yellow?), then he's a wonder - a swaggering force in the midfield that scares the pants off of opposition players.

jeeez... here come the pc brigade. can't even say white anymore.

[Busheyboy]

could be a good player if he could get a brain
tonight was a repeat of his debut, losing a game, 2 rash challenges and he's off
we need him to learn how to either tackle fairly or jockey with the opponent and not jump in
COMPLETE *****

[lymehoop]

we were absolutely crap until he came on, unlucky to get sent off, faurlin, granea and diakite to start

he wasn't diving in rashly, he was trying to make-up for his teamates ****ups. First one, their guy was breaking through the middle nearing the penalty area and thought he took one for the team there. The second was a shocking lay-off. Second one he shouldn't have dived in but it was a full blooded challenge and not dangerous in the slightest.
