I never mentioned or said anything like he's entitled to anything, I did say however that I sympathise with him being frustrated. I would be pig sick of that fookin lazy chip in the corner you call "great service". For a player of Hughesy's style and age those hit and hope balls in the corner are anything but “Great service!” He had two goals disallowed and overall played well today, If he didnt show any desire or commitment or hunger to win for us and was just collecting his pay like others in our squad I would be more pissed off with him than most of you lot are that he kicked the ball away ffs. It makes me laugh that in the first 15 mins Fans were already moaning at one thing or another Sheridan and players and when a player shows frustration he's jumped on all over a yellow card. Yes it was unnecessary but its hardly the worst thing I ve ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edhunteruk Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 You are kidding me? How in a million years can you suggest Hughes got himself sent off today to avoid playing on Tuesday, obviously i understand the Yeovil booking meaning he'd miss a cup game instead of a league game as its less important, but to get himself sent off on purpose to avoid Tuesday is just silly, what's he going to do if we beat Cheltenham? Even if he wants to leave in January (not that i think he does) its hardly going to make a clubs mind up basing it upon whether he's cup tied on not. And just for the record, without him today we'd have drawn 0-0 probably, he earned the penalty by himself and without it we probably wouldn't have scored. where have i said he got himself sent off deliberately timmothy????? you would be suprised just how many clubs dont want a striker cuptied if thinking of offering them a deal....hang on....we just loaned byfield and his club doesnt want him to play in the cup for us.... im merely passin mt opinion of what someone else suggested....

I am sure Sheridan and the powers that be will have a word or two in his ear and let us mere mortals just get back to supporting the 11 on the pitch. (Whoever they may be). KTF.

cmr Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I can't understand why he does these things with his reputation.

Markoasis Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Sounds like a stupid show of petulance for his first booking. He needs to curb that, and fast. First booking well deserved ... don't think any of us could believe he smashed the balls into the stand. Booking everytime Aparently the 2nd booking was outrageous! That's being polite ..... a game played in a good spirit, ref needed to uses common sense!! did he touch him??? However does Hughes receive a little rough justic from ref's who's morals say the guy should not be playing pro football ........ YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT Does he miss an extra game because he's already served a suspension for 5 bookings ? can't decide myself after reading the rules ! No, but will be lucky if they don't take further action as he would not leave the pitch. Will go against him in the future at least. Just got back from the game....... Hughes had been warned only two minutes earlier after fouling one of there defenders and the ref warned him it was his last chance, I turned and said to my mate that we should take him off now..... He was becoming frustrated and the home crowd were on his back as always...... not sure with this at all (see above)... and a few homes fans shouting the usual crap at him, below average for what he usally gets. So no excuse and he's shown on many occasions that this only makes he more detrmined Personally I could see it coming, as a one off the second booking is maybe harsh but it was coming I didn't BTW Today Hughes had 2 chalked off for offside(1 debatebly?), hit the post after spinning his man and earned us a penalty. Drop him - I don't think so Liability - If so I wish we had a few more liabilities like him(ability and commitment wise) 1st just, 2nd no chance he's off, hitting post just before HT - should have score, but still did the hard part by creating a chance out of nothing for himself. Penalty .. fantastic run left the third player he beat with no option. Liability ....................... GET A GRIP SON!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_ragg1984 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 WE had two goals disallowed because HE was offside twice. How often is he caught offside? Chris Porter used to get so much stick for being offside a lot, but Hughes is just as bad, if not worse. His first booking was shockingly unprofessional. It was his 6th booking of the season, and all have been petty and unavoidable. The second yellow was a bad decision by the ref, but if he keeps putting himself in this position, then sooner or later he was gonna get sent off. Obviously Mr Corney's rant had no effect on Hughes as he did it yet again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark - just to clarify, the liability comment was in response to an earlier post - I think the holier than thou(I'm talking about the baying mob for getting booked twice in a game)have to realise here that you take the bad with the good from Hughesy. There is a lot more good than bad with him so carry on supporting him if you want to see mostly good from him. The whole point of this is that yes it was another stupid booking, however pre-meditated I don't think so whereas the Yeovil one was(IMO). Can anyone tell me that they would have really wanted Hughes to miss this game instead of Cheltenham away in the cup? Those who want to carry on moaning with their saintly attitudes should probably look at themselves and ask the question have they ever played and moaned at a ref and actually have they ever played because to me this is born out of people who never have(or have never got frustrated with anything ever mmm?). We all know its wrong and without adrenalin/emotion it wouldn't happen, it did because it is an adrenalin/commitment fuelled that leads to instant reaction not 100% thought out pre-meditated action.

Exactly ...played League in the halves for 25 years, I talked a great game !!! Take that away from my game and I wouldn't achieve half the things I have. Should he keep a low profile to avoid trouble .... if Hughes does that he'll be half the player. Watching Hughes from day one he's had a love / hate relationship with many a ref and crowds, arms round the ref, clapping all four sides of bEllend road when subbed ... any other person would simply make a diving action with their hands to a ref... not Hughes he actually dives, I could go on and on. He keeps you entertained one way of another and I hope this continues. His actions you don't normally see outside the premiership ........ you can get away with them there but not in the lower leagues.... especially with his history.

His name proceeds him and I'm sure that 50/50 calls rarely go his way. Still, he's a big lad and must have know that this may happen before he made the choice to play again. Personally, in relation to the patern of the game a little harse to say the least as not sure it would warrent a booking otherwise ...it wasn't like his other card was for foul play. Left the ref with no choice though did he Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futchers briefs Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 possibly the most ridiculous sending off this season......after seeing it on itv then...i wonder if Shez and Hughes have stopped laughing about it yet....both of their face were a picture.......no wonder Hughes was so frustrated - no excuse, but i do understand. 2 goals disallowed, hits the post, then on the end of a ridiculous decision. Still, the ref might feel better this morning, knowing he's sent Lee Hughes off!! btw, this not "hero worshipping" by any means, it's just comments about a footballer whose seems to be really frustrated as he's not getting on the scorers sheet at the minute, but is still involved in most of our goals.

Diego_Sideburns Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Just cutting and pasting this from another thread. Just watched it on The Championship and it confirms what I thought. Bearing in mind that it was late in the game and their defender was rounding Hughes in readiness to launch another desperate attack, trying to equalise (their keeper had already been in our penalty area for a corner before stoppage time was announced) the ref had no alternative but to book Hughes. It happened right in front of Shez, who made no protest. It was stupid of Hughes to do it, especially as he had been so petulant to get his first booking. When he was dragged off the field eventually by Tommy, we had lost the outlet of two strikers to relieve the pressure at the back. Hughes could have cost us at least two points by his stupidity - the fact that he didn't was down to good fortune and time running out. He is a class above most players at this level. He was unlucky with his two disallowed goals yesterday - he took each of them very well. His twisting and turning to earn the penalty was brilliant. If he could just cut out the needless actions that bring the yellow cards, he would be more likely to get a good run of games, with the goals flying in and his confidence, and everyone else's soaring. Come on Lee, keep your mind on the job and your body on the pitch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
