Btw, Meyler went to the centre circle by himself before the game today and prayed. I presume it was Hillsborough related.
A few in the Hull crowd were noisy during the minute's silence prompting the whole ground to applaud through the minute instead of observe the silence. Great response by the crowd but what kind of cretin would disrupt a minute's silence like that?
Who knows? People assume Stefan Scougall's celebration was dedicated to Hillsborough victims but it could easily have been for his brother who died in a car crash a few years ago.Quote:

Bear in mind too that, with his injuries, this is only his second full season of senior football. I think he's still in the improving stage.
I would think that Meyler will miss the biggest game of his career so far after a moment of utter stupidity today stamping on Januzaj near the end of the game.
There was absolutely no reason to do it at all, I know he was probably frustrated at losing the game, but it was almost like a testimonial game the way it was played and he will will probably now miss the FA cup Final over it.
Biggest piece of stupidity I have seen on a football pitch for a while
Do you have a video of it?

It's slowed down so it looks worse than it is, but it certainly looks like he has a case to answer for. Completely brainless if he meant it.
It seems like it might not have been on purpose.
He left his foot it too long for it to be an accident
It's more of a step than a stamp. Looks clumsy more than calculated.
I'm inclined to agree. The second replay above really makes it seem like he leaned into it unnecessarily. A momentary red flash that could cost him big time.Quote:

I hope he gets a substantial ban for that.
The look on his face as well as he launched himself from the poor mans pinned limb Fly, he looked sated, like a man after getting a right good run of little pops while working through some bubble wrap.Quote:

I don't think his good record should save him to be honest. Pep Giggs comments won't help him that's for sure.
disappointing from meyler particularly given his own nasty injury record. will get a 3 game ban for it
Well, I'd go with what Giggs thinks, super player, super pro, super injunction.
Could Hull appeal it and delay the ban to next season? Even if it meant Meyler got an extra game for a frivolous appeal?
Looks very deliberate to me - from the reverse angle , it looks as if he stamps his right foot down ,and from the frontal view , as per said above - he leaves his foot there way to long for it to be an accident
Disgusting thing to do - very dissappointed in Meyler for that
A ban is forthcoming - say goodbye to the Cup Final David .....shame!
He should have said sorry.
