Jesus Christ - how can he be suspended already? We've only just started the season, ffs!
How many of Colback's yellow/red cards are avoidable (dissent, mnoaning etc.)? And why isn't Marti having a word with him about acting his age and not his boot size, or is he just dumb/entitled to take it on board? He's not quite as deranged as Jack Torrance in The Shining, but he's obviously a bit touched, and reminds me a lot of Barton. Not helped by the big whiff of resentment he gives off at playing for us at Champ level.
So much for the likes of Sinton giving it the tired cliche about wanting your experienced players on the pitch! What's the value in that if half the time they're not? All the more frustrating as when he's on it, he's a great help, but how often has he been? One or two games since he's been here?
I feel like I'm turning into him just by thinking about him! |
With a poor tackle, Colback should have had a yellow in the last game he played; he surprisingly calmed down after that lucky escape as he realised he got away with it.
I observed after the Sheff game where he got another yellow for asking for a yellow, he changed his approach. In his last game, he back-chatted the ref way less, so I am hoping he's learned just to shut up and get on with it. I am hoping he learned that being quiet lets you get away with way more than having a go at the ref, as he managed to avoid getting a yellow in that game.
By all means wind up the oppo, but even if the ref is a knobber (Stroud) one just has to zip it.
If you do want to talk to the ref, you could do it the way Dunne does. Dunne's act of "ref he just inserted a baseball bat in my rectum, I am a victim help" comical look on his face as he holds out his hands expressing disbelief at such a Hague war crime that has just gone unpunished.
But with Colback we shall see. |  |
