Boubacar Kamara - out for the season

[Toronto Villa]

Disappointed with his sending off. We will miss him now for some key games over the holidays. Still should get players back so hopefully the impact isn’t too great. And he can get a rest too.

Should be OK with Sheff U and Burnley at home as Dave says. Think we'll miss him at the Theatre of Twats though.

[Holy Trinity]

With the review process what is the odds of us dragging it on till after the United game? Would have loved to have him available at old Trafford but Sheffield and Burnley we should be fine without him. I cant see it being overturned but wondered if we could delay the ban by a week.

Nah, I think when you've put your hands into someone's face, any appeal would be seen as a pisstake with a chance of actually increasing the ban.

Your probably right, I mean losing at united was always on the cards anyway full strength or not but if we manage 6 points from the next 3 games we will still be sitting pretty.

[Toronto Villa]

True. He plays an important role keeping thing ticking over. But JJ coming back to full health helps. And it’s inevitable we were going to get a red eventually or suspensions overall. We’ve been pretty good for the most part.

Man U are fucking shit. We should be expecting to go and at least get a point if not all three.

Shit or not we struggle at old Trafford and have for as long as I can remember. I'd love to be leaving the Burnley game on the 30th after 3 more wins on the spin but those shit arses will find a way to get 4 pens and beat us.

It's just annoying when it really didn't need to happen. If it was a last ditch mis-timed tackle to save a goal then fair enough, but just handbags after some Emi and Maupay nonsense? Really daft.

[Toronto Villa]

Mind you. His flick for our winning goal was just delightful.

[AV84]

Depends on what's happening with other players as to how much we miss him. How long is Tielemans out? McGinn and Cash are on 4 yellows. Ramsey still rusty.

If we have a full squad to pick from over these 3 games we should be fine.

100% this.

So stupid.  Hopefully Youri is back.

[SaddVillan]

Think he needs to go on a twathandling course.

As in rugby - tackle height is paramount these days if you want to avoid getting sanctioned.

Having said that, close anaylsis of the "scrum" in their goalmouth post Ollie's goal could probably throw up similar  confrontations.

[Somniloquism]

For quite awhile he was being the calm one. But as I mentioned on the thread, how he got a red and certain Brentford players did not is certainly a question. Martinez definitely walked on the edge as well and might have retrospective punishment.

The posters saying they'd prefer Marschall to Olsen could be in for a treat next week 😄

Like you said, it was strange how Bouba went from the one trying to calm the situation (first with Maupay - I'm guessing in French), then with others, to being the one to get the red card.  My suspicion is something was said to him, or there was contact not shown in the camera, because he seemingly went from calm and in control to hand in the face in about two seconds.

It's disappointing that he got a red card, but I'm also pleased with the team spirit which showed we're not going to let ourselves be bullied by the more physical teams. We'll give as good as we get.
