Macca on sky just said...

Depends how you define aggression. I thought Woodrow showed loads tonight and his header for the goal was a monster. I've been wanting him to show that kind of aggression for a long time and he looked all the better for it. He was much bigger and stronger then they were for 55 minutes. And then they did match him. They also threw in a load of sh1thousery too like, but I thought we were the most aggressive for almost an hour. Fair but aggressive.

 

So you hoped that’s what he meant by aggression. I will look at what happened in the game to draw my conclusions

 

the opening post is a bit ambiguos to be fair, some people reading it as Cardiff had to match our aggression, where as I am reading it we had to match their aggression, either way Ref caused it making it a free for all

 

Did he, or did he mean aggression that meant his team deployed the tactics the did tonight. I know which way I believe he meant it, he was excusing their shithousery and rough tactics that was aided and abetted by the poor excuse of a referee

 

Not ambiguous to me given the tactics they employed tonight.

 

that flint like a man mountain, went over like a he been shot slightest touch

 

Well in my opinion he was saying it to excuse the way they conducted themselves in that game tonight

 

no you can read it two ways, unless we know if they is us or Cardiff , agree they a disgrace though

 

I agree that they were a team full of shithouses, there's no disputing that.

 

‘We had to match their Aggression’ only 1 way to read that

 

I know no-ones disputing the way they ‘played’ I’m just taking what he said was to excuse the way they ‘played’

 

If you listen to the full interview, the most illuminating comment is right at the end where Mick says '' its the best 250 quid we've ever paid a ref''...that's what I thought I heard anyway.

 

Gimme a ferkin break

 

I think he may have meant aggression as in the way we play with a high intensity press and snapping at their heels rather than physical aggression...

 

I take it as a compliment. We need to fight hard ( but not with fists), we punch above our weight ( but not like boxing), get some solid tackles in ( not straight leg fouls) and bully the opposition (not like a school playground). Semantics but im happy if teams see us as young, talented, full of energy and aggressive too.

 

Wow... What a pappy mardy ar5ed statement...
It's supposed to be a man's game ffs

 

We don’t have to agree or like his tactics, but he is paid to get results for Cardiff, rightly or wrongly he set his stall out how he believed was his best option to do that.

 

If you watch the goals collins was fouled in the build up to the 2nd corner, sibbock was pushed in the back as the corner comes in, flint pushed woodrow into the keeper and we get a goal that should have stood, disallowed.

 

Great wind up.

 

We know that, the point is he accused us of being an aggressive team, which in my opinion was to excuse the way they played, that’s been my point throughout, we have not, and doubt we will not be an aggressive team anytime soon. But it’s Macca he’s a lad int he. If that had been Neil Harris the previous manager doing and saying the exact same thing this board would’ve been in uproar
