Perhaps its HIM that the referees dislike, and were getting the colateral damage.Chris_from_Sidcup said:Sounds like a good performance and great to see so many kids playing. I wonder if this means we can expect KR to take the fine and make wholesale changes in the Checkatrade too.
This is not a dig against KR, as i'd say it whoever our manager was but this comment is ridiculous:
"The assistant referee gave it, he was stood next to me. How’s that a red card? But it’s Charlton and they see we’re on the right way up and they don’t like it".
Unless the lino was a Palace or Millwall fan, i'm pretty sure he couldn't give a shit that we're 'on the way up'. However i do like what he's doing, the players seem to like him and we're starting to play some decent football.1 -

KR is a passionate manager who sees the game through the perspective of his own side - I haven't got a problem with that.3

I don't recall Kinsella or Hollands tackling like Novak did on Saturday.SDAddick said:

" But it’s Charlton and they see we’re on the right way up and they don’t like it. So, keep doing it. I’m sick and tired – when people try and do things the right way, I tell my players not to dive, not to be aggressive surrounding the referee. It looks like a lack of discipline on me. And it’s not. It’s good, old-fashioned tackling. Imagine Matt Holland or Mark Kinsella. They’d be sent off every week if they played in that game today."
Also, if a tackle is "a red card in the modern game" that means it's a red card. Sort your team accordingly.
Robinson is doing a good job on the pitch at the moment, he just needs to avoid letting his mouth runn away with itself, particularly post-game. Coming out and slagging off the referees after a match, particularly a League Cup 1st round, is not professional and sets a bad example to the youngsters that were in the squad tonight.10 -

Oh, it comes in a can. I kinda thought it must be some obscure bottled spirit, used in yet another 1000 cal cocktail. I admit, I googled it, but didnt click on any link. They can sod off. The most popular energy drink in Thailand, wow. Its the League Cup, ok?LoOkOuT said:Time to crack open a cold can of delicious Carabao!
Nothing else not to like in this thread though, other than perhaps Karl confusing Matt Holland with Kevin Muscat.

"Imagine Matt Holland or Mark Kinsella. They’d be sent off every week if they played in that game today."
But if they had been sent off for a challenge like that they were intelligent enough not to tackle like that again.2 - Sponsored links:

Matt Holland ? Mark Kinsella ? Pah, the Richard Rufus comeback sliding tackle at spurs is what a real challenge is all about. Back from a long injury, spurs away, night match, live on sky, came in from side stage like a steam train, probably slid for about two metres before he took the ball cleanly. Had there been a brick wall in the way he would have smashed it to bits. Commitment and timing to perfection which technically you couldn't fault and he got away with but which would make the recent red card efforts look like pussies...if he had been shown a red card I doubt anybody would have challenged it on the spur of the moment as it was definitely a WTF moment.9

I love reading things like that. Long may it continuecafcsinger said:' If that was Charlton's second string then I really am impressed and I hate to think what the first choice 11 might have done. Extremely quick passing and movement that threatened to rip us to pieces at times but then disappointed in the goal area. '

But seriously, I agree, I don't want to get carried away but one of our biggest issues over the past few years has been a lack of strength in depth throughout the squad so to hear of our second string performing so well in a competitive match is very exciting.4 -

Good win for the team and great experience for the young guns! Gotta admit I agree with Robbo, The player seemed to turn into the challenge thus making it look worse than it actually was!0

Very sensible as he was preparing himself for the inevitable red card for one of ours......Exiled_Addick said:
Commentator said he was decent first half but very quiet in the second.ShootersHillGuru said:How did Watt perform tonight ?

No need to chew the ref out publicly. Just say it was harsh and appeal the red card.
Having made those comments I fully expect him to do so.
I understand the heat of the moment comments, but nowadays managers need to rehearse stock lines to cover the negatives.2 -
This is the point. We don't know what Robinson is saying to players in the dressing room. He may have given Crofts and Novak an absolute battering in the dressing room after the game, but he's showing a united front, and supporting his players, in public.MuttleyCAFC said:KR is a passionate manager who sees the game through the perspective of his own side - I haven't got a problem with that.
Which is exactly what Wenger has always done at Arsenal, hence all those comments about "I didn't see it" when his players were getting red cards.3 -
Friendly Exeter programme bloke showed us to the real ale bar within the ground, Skinners "Betty Stoggs" and one other at £3 a pint, a very skilful performance with lots of commitment from a Charlton team with passion. The faithful getting behind the men in blue and the manager having his name sung during the second half.
Met many old friends, before, during and after the game.
What was there not to like?
Well, apart from that sending off. Another opponent doing a job for his team, rolling around like he'd been snipped by a Japanese sniper.
Roll on Saturday.
