Does Roy Hodgson Owe Us An Apology?

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

In response to the OP.
YES!
but I ain't holding my breath!

[London Villan]

Indeed a flippant comment! I just don't rate Hutton.

Glad we've appealed though, Herd deserves another start after those 30 mins.

[Somniloquism]

As for Hodgeson, I lost a lot of respect for him when he said it was a stamp after supposedly seeing a replay. Although as Olson claimed it was he might have told Hodgson that as well so he had a preconception from the start.

Agree.

Plus if the guy knows he's innocent the sooner we get him back on the pitch the better.

[Lobsterboy]

Yes he does but sadly we have got more chance of Heskey signing for Barcelona in the January transfer window and Xavi coming in the opposite direction...

Agreed. I always had RH pegged as one of the good guys until this weekend especially after his treatment by the red scouse but he went on telly and spouted absolute bollocks. He should have stuck with the old "referees interpretation" claptrap.

From that lot you expect class and dignity?

[derek.anon]

would you expect any different from other managers? He was wrong about Herd decision and if the Hutton challenge was on a Villa player then the responses on here would be no different to what Hodgson said. Time to get off your high horses and concentrate on what matters.

[The Man With A Stick]

He's vewwy, vewwy sowwy.

[Chris Smith]

He should appologise to the nation for trying to pass himself off as a decent and fair minded man when in reality he's as one eyed as the rest of them (us). To cover up his own players gamesmanship he claimed Herd had stamped and made up the ludicrous story that Long could have had two broken legs.

Wanker.

[Dave]

The most ridiculous thing that he said was that WBA were controlling the game even before the sending off.

Of course you were Roy.

I'm pretty sure I heard a cuckoo in the background when he said that.

[john2710]

Like most PL managers Woy is selective in what he sees / says. He'll milk the supposed assault on Long for all he can. But he won't correct his outrageous statement that having seen the replays that was a stamp there. 

[hawkeye]

Hutton should get banned, Herd should get let off.

I have never liked the fellow, even when I found out his favourite author was the great J P Donleavy.  Nonetheless, I have to agree with his strategic analysis of the game, if not the sending off.

I thought we were lopsided, disjointed, and uncoordinated before Herd's dismissal, and it was only a matter of time before we paid  the price.
