League Cup Semi Final - Bradford City

[olaftab]

I don't think Dowd's going to prevent us from getting to the final. It's up to players and the Manager.

[Des Little]

We're out.

I would put a large bet on us getting nothing on the night. The Bradford players will be able to kick 7 shades out of us, completely batter us, and I am certain he won't give us a bean. We will breathe on them and they will get a free kick. Dowd and Halsey are the 2 worst refs in the league, and both hate us with a passion it would appear.

Our luck was even worse at the weekend as Halsey was only in due to Foy being ill. Go down by a point, I will blame Halsey for giving Foy a dodgy prawn and then giving the match to Southampton. There is a conspiracy I tells ya.

i've got no issue with dowd. he was the ref during the 4-4 at Chelsea wasn't he?

When he sent off Zat Night for looking at Ballack.

[Dr Butler]

get a good start and if we can wipe out the Bradford advantage or actually get ahead by half-time I reckon we will do them by 4/5.

If we're 3-0 up in the last minute I'd fully expect Dowd to give them a penalty.  Even if the ball's in their half.

[dave shelley]

Which he can do if one of our players thumps one of theirs in the penalty area if the ball is in play.

[levico]

Frankly we don't need Dowd or any other ref to see us fail in this game. We can do that all by ourselves, led by the games most inept manager on current form.

[Brend'Watkins]

I can see Dowd having a very pro us game.  He wont give any dodgy decisions against us and might give some in our favour as he'll want to be reffing us in the prem at some other point in his career where against one of either Chelsea or Manu he can reek untold havoc on us once again.

That's the spirit.

Sending Bennett off against Norwich earlier this season was another classic from the clayhead prick!

I never knew Steve Clarke was our manager.

Beat me to it - last 10 games identical points - 3 defeats on the trot for them

[Mister E]

Halsey followed by Dowd ... nice.
