TBF the love in is somewhat deserved simply because the two of them have really embraced the community. Ryans even signed a deal with S4C to put several hours of Welsh Content on his channel in the US every week just to help promote the Welsh language.
Mind you on the other hand Parky is a Twit who deserves to fail and lose his job. What he did to Bishop for what was a simple accident (was one of those 50/50 balls that one player gets to a fraction quicker and they collide) was so out of order

And if you actually watch the incident you see that Bishop has set off BEFORE it bounces as the punt forward is actually overhit so Bishop is actually the favourite to get it but it checks up on the bounce (Notice Mullins overruns it for the same reason) which maybe swings it slightly further towards Mullins.
And you say it is all about formations and fitness but if that's the case why doesn't Mullins also pull out? Why is there any tackle being made? They had already kicked lumps out of Hannibal a couple of times then and they spent the whole match kicking him anytime he was on the ball. Pre-season matches are actually just as important for some players to try and impress and also to start getting into form and the right mentality, each match should be getting more and more competitive. If you just walk through pre-season at half intensity then you most likely are not going to start the season well as you now need multiple games to get up to speedStop hovering to collapse...

I remember that game but if you believe its only certain managers who identify the oppositions main threat and try to contain said player by fair means or foul then I'm surprised, you've watched professional football long enough to know the dark side of the game, I vividly remember a certain Vinnie Jones taking Steve McMahon out within the first couple of minutes of the FA Cup final verses Liverpool showing McMahon he was the gaffer.
Both Parkinson and Steve Parkin were very verbal during their time at Valley Parade let's not forget, as was Paul Jewell who got warned by a female police women at QPR for his langage and antics, have a watch what Hodges and Hughes get up to on Saturday like it or not its part and parcel of the modern game. -

Here have a look at this watch the slow-mo around 20 seconds in, Bishop was never getting the ball were as Mullins won the header, red card all day long in any other game bar a pre-season friendly IMO of course.

My point was that you claimed 'It's a friendly why didn't he pull out' and my point is if that's the argument then why didn't Mullins? Why was it only Bishop's responsibility to give up on a ball he thought he could get. As I've said the ball if you actually watch the full video from when the ball is played forward it looks like it actually favours Bishop but it takes a bad bounce and checks up. Again this is why Mullins ends up overrunning the ball. By that point, both players are committed
and past the point of being able to pull out in real-time. Both know there is going to be a collusion and both go into protection mode, Mullins ends up elbowing Bishop in the threat.
And I'm not saying it's not a red card, in a proper match the one who gets there second is getting a red but that doesn't mean it is intentional. There is a difference though between the implication it was intentional like Parky implied and it being two pro's going for what they think is winnable but which only 1 of them can actually win it and there will almost certainly be a collision. Actually, in a proper match, I would say its Mullins getting the red as I suspect the ball wouldn't have bounced so awkwardly, it would have been yard or so closer to the area with Bishop most likely nodding it away while on the line of the box and Mullins wouldn't have overrun so would have been going in with more force and wouldn't have needed to t twist when the ball checks leaving his side exposed.
Parky didn't even try and walk it back when he saw the abuse Bishop was getting, it too Ryan to have to do that. I bet Parky wouldn't be happy if one of his young players was getting verbal abuse and threats of physical harm made against him because another manager decided to act like a Twit and when he had claimed down wouldn't walk it backStop hovering to collapse...

I'm not saying in a normal match its not a red card, in a normal match whoever gets there second is getting a red due to the way things play out but Parky went over the top, he pretty much implied it was intentional and when the amount of abuse players get is a real issue when a manager stirs that abuse, especially towards a young player it's massively irresponsible. He gave people free rein to verbally abuse him and send him physical threats for an accidentStop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand... -
Now with regards what he said afterwards if he did make those comments he was wrong but i can understand it watching the antics of Bishop, we can debate it all night long the point is there was no need for Bishop to come charging out which even yourself agree in any other game it would have been a straight RED, yet you keep questioning why Mullins didn't pull out he won the ball quite clearly so he'd done what any good striker would do, sorry Simon I can't understand you logic, you're accepting in a round about way the challenge would have been a red but call Mullins out for not making the run and WINNING the ball.
As yet I not seen or heard anything from the EFL with regards his comments and bringing the game into disrepute. -

The Sky/Wrexham wank-a-thon continues.
Not content with picking their game against Wigan for live coverage,which normally wouldn’t have warranted a 2nd look,Sky sports news are now showing the misses from their game whilst only showing goals from all the other games.
And before anybody says owt,yes I am massively
jealous of all the attention they are getting and desperately wish it was us.
But it isn’t so I’ll carry on criticising. -
My point on Mullins is you feel Bishop shouldn't have even tried to get the ball (a ball which if it had bounced correctly was in his favour) because it was friendly but you think it's fine for Mullins to show full commitment despite it being friendly. You can't have it both ways, you either have both sets of players committed and going for the 50/50 type balls or both parties back off on challenges and friendlies are made basically no contact.
There was no malice in the challenge, it was two committed players both of whom were thrown by the bad bounce but it was too late for either to fully check out. Even so, those situations will almost always cause a red to the one who gets there second even without any malice or actual dangerous play as they always look bad. But it was an accidental collision caused by a bad bounce and it actually ended up being worse because both see the contact happening, know they can't stop it happening so brace for it. In fact it's both of them bracing that causes the injury. Mullins has tried checking his run a little as he had overrun the ball due to the bounce (which also caught out the United defenders), it puts him more side-on and he puts out his arm to protect himself. It goes into Bishop's throat which pushes his body forward and Bishop had tucked his arms in as he braced which pushes his elbows forward into Mullin's now unprotected ribs. If they had actually just collided normally I suspect neither would have got an injury.
And that's the difference, if there had been something clearly deliberate designed to hurt the player then maybe it would have been fine for him to have a go (although even then it was over the line the way he did it IMHO) but when its a collision of two players going for 50/50 ball he crossed the line. If the ball hadn't take a bad bounce and Bishop had got there first before being taken out by Mullins do you think Parky would have been happy if ETH had made similar comments about Mullins leading Mullins to get abuse and death threats? Hell no
And the EFL couldn't do anything about it because it wasn't an EFL-sanctioned match. The US organisers could have but what exact power do they have?Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand... -
Any fair minded football fan can see it was reckless, little point in discussing it further, the incident is there for all to see, long punt forward Mullins is favourite for the ball he wins the ball (but cant get it on target) and Bishop cleans him out FACT. -

He got this well wrong "The future King said Wrexham was every football fan's second club" I can't assure you they aren't son, but you know very little about football don't you support that little club in Birmingham Aston Villa.
