Pulled his shirt but that happens in most duals for the ball. It’s probably a foul, but how does Watkins fall forwards when pulled backwards?
They were both pulling each other. Sibbick was blocking and did his job. Cavare on the other hand was ******* useless!
Cabaret was useless, but their attacker had his arm across Sibbicks chest not allowing him to challenge the ball. Therefore a foul.
Cheating tw@t. He got a slight pull on his top and went down like he'd been shot. However our defending from the free kick was criminal.
Crowd giving Watkins a load of stick. Everything he ever did for us will now be forgotten. Most players would go down as theatrically as possible after they have been fouled., you could even argue that's their job.
I don't care who does it, it is ruining football. He was fouled, I get that, but there is no need to behave like he did. Any fan thinking that what Watkins just did there is ok is part of the problem.
The foul on sibbock in the goal was far worse I've never seen a man fall forward after having his shirt pulled back
Sorry pal, i'm not taking the rap for this - I don't even play football (anymore). There are professional people paid to make sure they don't get away with this, and others who coach them how to do it. I never said I condoned it. My main point was that Watkins will never be treated the same again at Oakwell.
It was forgotten long since. All he had to do was search his name on here to see what has been said about him since he left us for all the motivation he would need for tonight.
He used to do the exact same in a Barnsley shirt & no one moaned. All forwards are told if they feel contact / get their shirt pulled to go down. The blame lies with Diaby 100%. Should’ve dealt with Watkins initially & then somehow allowed Watkins to get goal side of him despite been quicker than him.
I agree Diaby somehow let Watkins get goal side then pulled his shirt- if it had been Sibbick he’d be in the stocks.
