The Sheffield Wednesday Saltiness

[Dave P]

I know this was covered a lot in various match and Snodgrass threads but it's still going on.  It's like they are the only team who have had a bad ref *.  The below are all from the current first page Owlstalk: -

Not sure if they are like this every time they lose.  This could be moved to 'Other Football' so we can use this thread to keep on them throughout the season.

* In their opinion

They didn't have a bad ref. Some of them actually don't think we should have had a penalty. What they are suffering from is bad opticians.

Pretty pathetic a bunch of grown men being that upset over a referee even days later...and I still haven't forgiven the whippet-shaggers for that ludicrous Nigel Jemson "goal".

I've changed the original post to address this

Dear FA,

I would like the FA  to investigate the level of goalscoring during the Sheffield Wednesday vs Aston Villa played at Hillsborough yesterday.

I know as a paying member of the public I cannot instigate a full enquiry, but the FA, as the regulatory body should be aware of what happened at the game.

Firstly the amount of goals scored was somewhat disproportionate. 4 to 2. I find this very strange. We had the lions share of possession, by far the more clear cut chances and hit the woodwork twice, but 4 to 2 seems to suggest one team were twice more, shall we say better, than the other. This was not the case.

Secondly the overall standard of the officials was somewhat one-sided. The FA clearly want Villa back in the prem, there is a clear anti Hillsborough stance at the FA and Villa's chairman has clearly bribed the officials because we called him "The Mad Doctor".

I have never written to the FA before, as in the past I have assumed that we were beaten by the better side, as we all are from time to time. Sadly that cannot be said of the result in yesterdays games, as our players decision making was consistently poor which led to Villa scoring more goals than we did.

I look forward to your response.

Regards"

I wonder why match fixing is a subject they know a lot about?  Takes one to know one I suppose?

It’s a shame the FA didn’t implement this nefarious corrupt plan to ensure that we were in the top flight before we got relegated in the first place!

There's some pure gold in those threads, they make the noses look well balanced.

The tackle from Terry was brilliant. Thought at the time and the replays confirmed it.

They're a bunch of small time cranks.

I was particularly amused by the amount of them still foaming at the mouth over Terry's tackle on their forward. One of their muppets even posted a clip of the challenge - which clearly shows that Terry played the ball! Deary me.

They're as bad as Brizzol City.  I think these jumped up clubs with delusions of grandeur get all ansty when clubs like us stop being 'in crisis' and actually start getting results.  They see us as the benchmark for their own failings, simple as.

Was that the one where their forward was left in a heap clutching his leg and then jumped up when they started another attack straight away and had a shot saved by Johnstone?

Aye that's the one.

Small clubs like them should be used to the big boys getting all the decisions.

[Duncan Shaw]

Wow

Yes - looked like he'd been run over by a tank and as soon as they regained possession, he was up like a shot.

Great tackle from Terry.
