NJ on Keith Hackett: Thierry Small & the corner flag

@RichCawleySLPNathan Jones has told ex-PGMOL chief Keith Hackett there are bigger things in society to worry about - after Hackett said Thierry Small should face FA sanction for kicking a corner flag on Saturday. #cafc

@RichCawleySLPJones: “Tell Keith Hackett to have a look at the news. There is knife crime, racial abuse, there’s wars going on all around the place, there’s certain people in certain areas doing certain things. That’s the least of the worries in society today. Well done, Keith." #cafc

    There’s steam coming out of Keith Hackett’s ears as I type … he’s Furious

    I was surprised at the time Small wasn't booked, but Nathan is right, it's a bizarre thing to make a big deal out of

    Hackett thought nineteen players involved in this punch-up didn't deserve to be booked...

    But, aiming a kick at a corner flag..?

    I imagine Keith had a tenner on a 0-0 result against Shrewsbury

    Maybe Small should have been booked, but good to see an Official showing sense and recognising there is emotion in Football, and that players will often get swept up in that moment, especially with a last minute goal

    Jones has gone into a David Brent rant again

    Jamie Vardy literally did it to a corner flag with the actual flag promoting LGBT stuff and didn't get a sanction to my knowledge. Not saying for 1 second that's why Vardy kicked it btw! Just that if that moment didn't get a sanction, why on earth should this?

    I remember Thierry Henry whacking that same corner flag when he scored against us at The Valley. Did he get booked?

    As far as I’m aware you can’t get a retrospective booking and it certainly wasn’t a sending off offence. Should he has been booked, yes in my opinion.

    It’s interesting about Hackett chipping in. Has he any official capacity? He did comment after the Bolton game that Matete should have been red carded and that subsequently happened.

    Vardy got the flag, signed it, and raised money for Leicester LGBTQ+ group through an auction

    I hope the ref saw it and just used common sense that this was a 96th minute winner and thus a little leeway with the celebration was allowed. He was probably also as stunned as everyone else in the stadium that there had actually been in a goal in the most tedious match in modern history,

    Hackett gets a few bob from Football Insider to comment on all manner of decisions it seems - there's a few articles there. Odd one for FI to ask him to comment on though

    Hackett was a dreadful ref and now totally insignificant, no need to listen to him, sure nothing will be done.

    From Wikipedia: 

    Keith is currently the president of non-league club Penistone Church FC. 
    Have they got gender neutral bogs?

    If he hadn't of done it then no one would of seen the reaction time of our soon to be new goalkeeping coach.

    If that was the free kick equaliser, that was up the other end. 
    But I’m guessing it wasn’t.

    No it was not, was one of the goals in the 3-0 defeat, April 2002

    Aren’t corner flags supposed to be woke?
    We never had them on Plumstead Common back in the Woolwich and District Sunday League days.

    Proper woke nonsense from Hackett. Well said NJ.
