MoTD tonight

[Spitfire]

I'm a tad older than you and played in goal at junior school... I must have been stark staring bonkers lol....

Well at least you didn’t have to head it .

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Saw that this morning. It's the clearest penalty you'll ever see with the clearest evidence you'll ever see. I can give the referee the benefit of the doubt for maybe not seeing it, but how can VAR not overturn that decision? Fortunately, from Forest's point of view it didn't chance the overall result if the game.

Yes, it's just perfect for what VAR was intended for, easy to miss when you're looking for some other contact, but clear as day once you look at it. Obvious error, overrule, penalty. I feel like they've now become so determined not to use VAR to avoid the weekly farce, that they've pretty much stopped using it, even when they should (at least until it's finally binned off). Did a single decision get overturned beyond offsides yesterday?

I guess the Newcastle penalty for shirt pulling was overturned (in favour of a penalty) but that was dodgy because of the convoluted rules for what is and isn't offside.

 

[groundhogwolf]

Even worse than "best promoted team ever" Bielsa's Leeds! And as bad as the next "best promoted team ever" Daniel Farke's Norwich.

Clough's Forest must be up there as possibly the real best promoted team ever. However, on the finishing positions in the first 2 seasons back, Nuno's Wolves are surely the best promoted team this century. We all knew that, though, didn't we?

Let’s not forget that Cloughs Forest only got promoted because we beat Bolton, they would have no history at all without us.

It’s the inconsistency that I can’t really get my head round. The penalty that I think Man City could have had yesterday, pretty much the same thing happened last week at Luton and it was given. I get that we’re never gonna get perfect consistency but it’s still really annoying when two very similar incidents happen two weekends apart and it’s a difference decision.

Offside decisions are objective but penalties and even fouls reviewed by VAR are subjective, this needs to change somehow.

 

[WW1963]

How bad are “the best promoted team ever” Burnley?!

Arteta was telling everybody before the game yesterday that Kompany was a brilliant coach and had a special aura.

I was there with 10,000 Wolves fans. Bolton hated us before we hated them.

Did Kompany's time as a player at Citeh overlap with Captain Black's time as Pep's assistant? I think that it did.....

Same, proper Wolves invasion, coaches still arriving after kick off, and talking about kick off it did all over the place.

 

[Contrarian]

One of those managers who often praises opponents after they've thrashed them! "They played football the right way". I much prefer playing football the wrong way and making life miserable for the Big 6. Like how Nuno did. And it used to be hilarious to hear Wengere fuming after being held by the likes of Pulis Stoke.

 

[Norman Bell]

Captain Black was indeed Pep's assistant at Citeh from 2016 to 2019 so yes he and the most protected Head Coach ( Kompany ) from media criticism in recent memory were both at The Etihad together for a period.

The reason l asked is that l think that Kompany was also there for at least part of that time.

Fantastic away trip, even better in Blackpool after

I have adjusted my original reply as when I described the most protected coach from media criticism I meant Kompany not Arteta !

Ah, TY

Yep. I was there too. What a day

 

[JR WAS KING]

And me. A great day out

10,000 is nothing. 50,000 Wolves fans went to the same ground against Chorley…

And me…drove up on my own..carnival atmosphere without pressure for once.

My brother still has a piece of turf from burnden park. Great day

 

[Shergar]

During the pitch invasion at the end a Wolves fan grabbed the corner flag and went running towards the Bolton end with it. It gave me an idea to do the same thing in the Centenary Match against City at Molineux a couple of days later. I had to tell my mum that the groundsman was giving the corner flag poles away at the end of the season.

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Wow, talk about 'if that was us' how did Maguire not get sent off? Awful high, late 'tackle'.

 

[inaglasshouse]

Adama Traore and Morgan Gibbs White showing us their class tonight

 

[Rowzed]

Thanks for that, Willie Carr and Ken Hibbit
Those were the days my friend

 

[Scallywolf]

Adama Traore and Morgan Gibbs White showing us their class tonight

Not interested!

 

[WW1963]

The previous away trip to Plymouth was also memorable for the celebratory occasion (securing promotion). Wolves fans accosted some football pitches on the way to the ground and held an impromptu match.

 

[Leominster_Wolf]

lol - Adama outran Harry Maguire in the 95th minute ( pretty sure I’d have a half decent chance of doing that) followed by a crap pass to Iwobi, which took him out of his stride.
Fortunately it allowed him to cut back and slot it in. But let’s not dress it up as a great assist, it was a very poor pass that happened to work out.

Was worse than the one Gilmour got sent off for.

All the way to Plymouth by train on a special, happy days

Was this our last football special ?

Remember that well

No, there was still specials in the mid to late 80’s. I remember going on one to Peterborough

There is also a pitch and put golf course on Central Park where Plymouth's Home Park is situated. Back in the 70s those Chelsea morons rampaged over it. A work mate of my Dad was having a game with his lads before heading off to the game, some Chelsea scumbag 'bravely ' tried nicking one of his kid's Argyle scarf. He left Plymouth with a badly bruised shin after Dad's mate connected with a superb blow from a seven iron !!

 

[Wolf in the Lions' Den]

After all the matches this season when I wish I'd seen us get more coverage through a higher billing, of course we're the only ones on tonight. MOTD producers currently scraping the barrel to find enough to talk about. Maybe the Astropay will get a feature? The Guardian's headline says it all!

Thanks, cattle trucks with a difference

 

[SuperGran]

Lots of praise tonight no one can get upset

 

[Rowzed]

Game looked better on MOTD tonight than it felt at Molineux, edited out almost all the rubbish.
Brewster caused a few problems considering first start in 4months.

 

[QB Wolf]

At last! On first tonight!!

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Absolute Wolves and Gary O'Neil love in. We were outstanding first half apparently. Glad Dawson got specific praise after some on here seemed to be thinking he wasn't great today.

 

[WickedWolfie]

.... on last tonight too....
