But he gets rewarded with a 2 year deal is a joke. He seems to always need a breather after 5 minutes as well. Hope He has a great year but i aint holding my breath.

Well, I'm glad you're not my boss. One mistake and you're out? Get real.

Has any club got a front row that all 4 are better than Radford? My guess is only 1 or 2.
Then you add his experience and the whole package that comes with him and I'm quite happy. Dowes on the other hand...

Indeed, if Radford was the only questionable talent in the squad I'd be more than happy, as it is, he's one of the better players.

Im not a Bailey fan but it was quite clear Radford was messing about and holding him down.
Bailey then was trying to get a penalty by flailing legs and elbows.
Radford then took offense to it and smacked him while he was on the floor.

If it was the other way round would bailey have been sent off?
Of course not as he doesnt wear the black and white and smith is a T@at but still you dont expect that from a senior professional.

Nice one.. I'll elbow you in the head then cos i know you'll have the mental toughness to not hit me back.. Sounds like a laugh!!

Also holding down is not a red card offence, it's common practise to hold a player to STOP the quick PTB and allow your team a quick breather then stay out of the next play. These moves are planned and sometimes results in a penalty (ref's discretion), but doesn't mean it's ok to be elbowed in the head!!

Radford was going to crack bailey days before kick off trust me!!
that elbow just gave him a good reason however his phone was white hot after the match from other clubs / players congratulating him on their behalf!!
Yes he got sent off , yes he in hindsight was silly but its a mans game and it had to be settled

Shame we couldn't get Briggs , A player I'd liked to see at Hull.

Was our club, players and fans phoning him with congratulations?

It may be mans game, but it is RL not boxing we pay to see.

Maybe he should have settled it off the pitch then instead of costing us fourth place.

Your guarantees are pretty worthless, I remember some of the things you said would happen last season.... they never happened.

You hold me down too right im going to fling my arms and legs about to get a penalty most players do.
Hitting someone four times while defenceless on the floor is more then enough to warrant a red card!
