    Well i'm proud that he stood up fo a team mate. He might miss a few matches but it shows me the kind of character i want in a player, someone who will back a team mate up getting a cheap shot. I want my players to run through brick walls for each other. In fact i find your analogy way off the mark, trying to compare a guy blatantly cheating to lad convicted of manslaughter. What next? We'll be charging Paudie with asaault.

    Yes a decent point overall, potential disaster once we saw the team selection, even losing two players they got their equalizer from a City mistake.
    Not the best of starts to the season but not the worse, enjoy your BBQ, it's about 12/13 degrees here.

    Okay. We will have to disagree. Anger can lead to people doing something, which they would normally never do, often with them not thinking through the potential consequences. ‘Red mist’ uncontrolled aggression, is not ‘helping’ things, as witnessed by his dismissal.

    If i had reacted the way Adams did i would be embarrassed with my actions. You need to watch the video again and carefully. And just watch how two players coming together causes the physical aftermath. Pretty hard to push a 6ft 12 stone bloke over at the best of times, i'd say a physical impossibilty with the amount of contact on display. So how did he end up over the barrier with such minimal force? Because he controlled the action to get a player sent off. I'm a bit old school, don't like cheats in the game.

    but this sort of thing has been going on since football started - doing stuff to get a rise from the oppo. What Paudie did was react in a way he's not supposed to (and the FGR player knew it), and broke the rules, which you're not allowed to do. Souness was going on yesterday about the handball and the penalty in the Man U game, and said it wouldn't have happened in his day, but admitted that rules are now rules, and you have to stick to them. Paudie didn't have to lead with his head, no matter what "contact" there was. It was unfortunate that the player was positioned right next to the hoardings, and had a great opportunity to make a massive meal of it in a dramatic fashion, which he did to great success. If that had happened in the middle of the park, he'd have gone down also, and despite it not looking so theatrical, Paudie would still have got sent off, because he led with the head - which is against the rules. The FGR player didn't break any protocol, our player did.

    Think the point of Novak dropping back to ch was justified. Moving an experienced player to the back and not wasting another sub when it was obvious we were not going gung ho up front with 9 men

    I get why the ref sent him off, just part of football that has always been pathetic. I've followed rugby league for years, if you'd reacted like Adams did in that game you'd be laughed off the pitch.

    FGR are a big side and we knew it was going to be an aerial bombardment, I thought he might have brought someone on for Guthrie but with him being 6ft+ it was better he stayed on the grandson said Novak did very well when he was brought back to defend.

    You’re right, but the squad is so thin, that was the only option.

    You’re seeing a very different team to me. I think we’ll be nearer the botttom than the top - we’re lacking in so many areas. Yes, the defensive will was better after we went down to 9 men, but the main reason we took a point was because FGR were awful too. We’re so bad defensively - we give away too many silly free kicks around our own box, we don’t defend set pieces properly, we don’t clear our lines properly. We don’t really create anything, there’s no width or penetration to our play, no pace up front. We’re awful - and yes its an awful league, but even so, we won’t be near the top end of it because we’re nowhere near solid enough. Look at yesterday - the first goal comes from a silly and soft free kick that our wall then doesn’t do its job on. 2 mins later, AOC is caught out by a basic long ball behind him, then he waits until he’s in the box and last man to rugby tackle his man. We got out of jail with the missed penalty, but then their 2nd comes after we miss 2 opportunities to clear our lines when under no pressure. It’s basic stuff. Staunton has some promise, but none of our other centre backs are good enough to be part of a promotion chasing side. And when you’re a side that doesn’t score many, you can’t be flaky at the back.

    Morning. Sounds almost as good as going up the Northumberland coast when it’s drizzling with a few sarnies packed in a bag which is exactly what I’m just about to do with the kids. Enjoy!

    More commentary gold from Kiwomya. Straight after Paudie’s red, the main commentator asks ‘what do Bradford City have to do now Andy?’

    ‘They need to be composed and remember that they are in control of this game, because they are winning 2-1’. In control of the game. With 9 men. Glorious stuff.

    I've tolerated him up until yesterday. His chanting of "Barmy Army" (when actually, isn't it "Bradford Army"?) was annoying, and his lack of keeping up with the game, and getting stuff, wrong finally grinded on me. It's great having someone who is passionate about the club, and added props for being an ex pro, but when you turn into a "fan" on the radio when you are meant to be commentating, then that's when you need someone more professional.
