Matty Cash

[eamonn]

Daily Mail are saying Matty may be a target for Atletico Madrid.

He'd do a Trippier at best...be happy to go somewhere "exotic", a nice signing-on fee and posh house in Las Rozas, learn a few (17) words of Spanish, and then give-up after a year, joining Palace the following summer.

A great goal by Cash! Shame he got booked by a jobsworth. I'd have been more impressed if the ref had gone over to Cash and just pointed at the message Cash was displaying in support. Still reading the room and common sense are not strengths of the modern day referee.

I don't think he had any choice. It might have been a nice thought for players to be allowed to show their support this weekend without fear of getting booked.

I was impressed by Gerrard taking ownership of that, saying it was down to him and that he had no criticism of Cash.

He might have been less dismissive of it had Cash picked up a 2nd yellow and we finished with a different result.  The same applies to supportive comments on here. As I've said previously, I agree totally with his heartfelt message of support.  Had he kept an arm in a sleeve his message would have been the exact same and no booking.  Shirt over his head, same message and no booking. Shirt removed, the ref has no option.  So don't give him an option.  And I know in the whole scheme of things a booking, a goal or even the match itself is of no importance in comparison to what's going on. However, if we are to play a competitive game then we play it competitively and that means keeping our discipline too to avoid needless bookings.

Has his yellow been rescinded?

Yellows never are.

Yellows never are.

Which is a bit mad when you think about it, given they accumulate into bans.

A wrong is a wrong, regardless to the punishment given out at the time. It's obviously just because the FA can't be arsed with the extra work.

I still want to know what that black bra thing is that he and others are sporting these days.

First it was wristbands, then gloves, after that snoods, now they are wearing dumpling holders.

I think they hold the things that monitor heart rate and other fitness data.

Yeah, it's a GPS vest.

The vest is designed to hold a pod between the shoulder blades that contains a GPS, an accelerometer and a magnetometer. Combined they capture over 1250 data points per second to measure how much and how hard the players are working with insight into data such as total distance, top speed, number of sprints, sprint distance, power, load, intensity, heatmap and more.

What was the message?  Something to do with Ukraine invasion?

A message to a Polish teammate who is currently in Ukraine.

There's a photo at the top of the Guardian match report: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/feb/26/brighton-aston-villa-premier-league-match-report

I must have missed us signing this Damian Martinez that The Guardian had playing in goal for us last Saturday.

That's actually his first name. When you see the Argentina team sheet it's almost always D.Martinez

Brendan, we need to sit down and have a massive drink and work this out 😂

I though Cash was excellent yesterday. As energetic and full of running and getting forward as usual, but the quality of his final ball was much, much better.

Wasn't that the reason SG apologised. He'd received updated guidelines from the FA and failed to pass them on to the team. Either that or he didn't expect us to score.

[robleflaneur]

His best game for us.

[Steve67]

He was fantastic yesterday.  Lovely cut back to Danny Ings for his goal.  Agree about the final ball generally.  In the running for overall man of the match when there were very few who in any way disappointed.

What a performance tonight. That was one of the best full back performances I’ve seen in a long time. Clearances, tackles, driving runs, assist and a goal. He’s some player, no wonder Madrid want him.
