Well sometimes, it just needs to be said! No point 'beating around the bush'! It shows if nothing else that they care and the fans need to know that the players wont get anyway with doing ridiculous things that may cost the team the points!

Perhaps Warnock went a little bit too far as his player didnt lose them the game or cause them to drop points in the end!

What's wrong with people now???

Clark always in the wrong with some of you!

He was been honest!!!

As Yorkshire men you should appreciate honesty, as we are known for it (and being tight gits like the Scottish)

WTF

lee clark never got sent off???

he did and it was for being stupid..

like i said, i might ignore someone pulling my shirt, or grabbing my shoulder or arm, but my b-lls are a different matter all together..

mccombe really should have whacked him a couple of times as well...

it just insnt the "done thing" to grab a gentlemans private parts unless you have been invited..

there are certain things that deserve a robust reaction, thats one of them..

yeah 38 he shud have smashed him for it but wait till the full time whistle goes then drop him. games over then.

I thought it was quite witty tbh Inter

At the end of the day stuff like what happened on Saturday happens quite a lot in professional football. Do you really think that Alan Lee won't have a cheeky grab every now and then to try and get a reaction. It's this thing called "gamesmanship" which is now a major part of the game, and footballers are paid enough and are experienced enough to deal with such things without lashing out.

Jamie will have dealt with this many times before but for whatever reason something tipped him over the edge at the weekend. He has no excuses - someone grabbing your balls is not an excuse - and he has nowhere to hide.

However, he did NOT cost us the match on Saturday as we still had 5 minutes remaining to defend a 2 goal lead against the worst club at this level according to the table. Not being able to do that is criminal and the changes Clark made did not help. Rather than pointing out his mistakes like playing Rhodes as a winger (or bringing him on at all), or admitting that we didn't defend the lead anywhere near as well as we should have with 10 men, or admitting that overall we were very poor on the day and 2-0 flattered us, Lee Clark decided that he would place all the blame on one player instead.

I ain't putting anything on 'our' Macker..!
If that's what happened, Good on him,
Lee Clark & ALL managers should be doing all they can to rid the game of this stupid 'dance' marking at corners/freekicks. & all that goes on related to it.
The wrong man has taken the punishment in my opinion.
The authorities are as weak as dish water too...'the grabber' will suffer no penalty for his actions in this matter, defo the 'darn side of the game.

Bang on Tez. Thats the point.
Publicly shaming a player doesn't go down well with me I'm afraid. If for example anyone on here did something in their workplace and disciplinary action was taken in front of their work collegues I'm pretty sure you'd have a strong case for industrial action. The man needs to grow up and start to use some of that fire for winding his players up. Maybe then we would be 5 nil against a shi£e house side and a sending off wouldn't matter

daft thing is 2-0 playing dreadfully, but very comfortable..

problem is when something goes against us we tend to fall apart..

you have to dread us going behind to a contentious goal..


virtually every team we have ever played against(apart from brighton) who have had a bloke sent off(or 2!!) have made life very very difficult for us..

we just went to pieces.. so im still of the strong belief that home or away 2-0 up or otherwise, we should always look to be playing every second we can in their half not ours..

Yes, we do fall apart. We were saying that on Saturday. Other teams pull together and make a concerted effort. We didn't at one time. Look at the P/O semi against Bournemouth. When they equalised and then took the lead, we rallied and wouldn't give in. Where's that spirit gone?

Amelia, it all comes down to this noose around the players necks that Mr Clark has firmly tightened. The players aren't allowed to express themselves because of this damned record. I am sick to death of this constant bragging from certain areas in reference to it. If we'd have gone out from game 1 and attacked teams then we would probably be on 23 or 24 pts with a couple of losses but who cares. Come the end of the season a record counts for nothing unless we are up as champions or at the least 2nd. One hell of alot moneys been spent. Compare that to what Robinsons spent at MK

"From now on we shall name this The Clark Syndrome"

Don't know about that. I think the McCombe/Porter incident needs a proper name though, something ending in "gate".
How about "Gonadgate"?

Warnock is a top manager, the best we have had in my time and what makes him a great manager is the end of the interview.

After the above he goes on to say what a great player the lad is and what a big future he has at QPR. The interviews might have sounded the same but there was a world of difference between the 2.

Lord, wasn't Nixon in charge at the time of Watergate. Maybe it should be DICKGATE

Yes, jonny. He was known as Tricky Dicky.

BOOOOOOTHY hit the nail on the head, Warnock stated Traore was an idiot and will be punished but will be back playing for them because he's a top player. That lets the player know he's let himself and the team down but also lets him know he still has a place at the club and is will thought of.

Lee Clark basically did the same apart from telling McCombe he won't play for us again for a long time, hardly motivating is it? He made a balls up once, he should walk back into the team when his suspension is done because he and Kay look much more solid that Clarke ever has.
