My dear Patsy, it's quite obvious that Welling United means a huge amount to you. This is backed up by the tremendous amount of time and effort you put in for the club's benefit.

I would however question the idea of paying a fine (if there is one) for a player. The view that I had gave the impression that Jack deliberatley put his head towards that of the opposing player in a threatening manner.

Although your idea has a good intension, what happens if there are other red cards?

It could be argued that Mr Parkingson is young, but as team captain he must set an example and as a wrong doing has occurred (in the eyes of the referee) he will only learn by being handed out some form of punishment.

My view is that he pays any fine due and becomes better for it.

I agree that the gesture is well intended but I believe that Jack would rather the money was used in trying to save the club.

I agree we as supporters cannot get involved in paying fines for players however unjustly we may feel they have been incurred.

Having spoken with a distraught Jack after the game all I will say is however unjustified the red card may have been take it on the chin and chalk it up to experience mate. As far as the supporters go I'm sure your fears are unfounded, I for one am still 100% behind you and I'm sure I'm not alone in that.

Mr Jester...

If i said a truly disgusting thing to you just after id tried to break your legs... I think you might "motion your head" towards me. The guy knew he was going off as teh ref blew after his two footed lunge and hes got jack to bite, Jack didnt touch him but he moved towards him and the guy flung himself to the floor.

The fact Jack never touched him, speaks volume for him. Yes Jack gave the ref an easy option but he hasnt headbutted him and has been wound up by the 10.

Can we all remember Jack has been playing with a hamstring for 4 games and needs to rest it. Its no big dealand he will get to rest it. Loui and Crackers are able to play in midfield and We have Cumbers and Healy who can play wide too.

Jacks crime is moving towards the 10 saying What did you say...

Dear ALL,

I have read all your comments and have taken them all
on board and I thank you for them.

I do feel now I was hasty in my reaction and now retract my
offer, as you say "if you do it for one" you must do it for
others and it is a learning curb. Sorry Jack....


Patsy

The 8 punched joe healy in the chest and the ref spoke to him and did nothing.

It would be interesting to ascertain the disciplinary record of Jack Parkinson in the seven League Games played so far this season.

Therefore, can one of the Welling United statisticians inform the Forum of the number of yellow cards that Jack Parkinson has received in the seven League Games so far?

Jack and Daisy have a few yellows. I would also say to you Johnc that we have been getting some shocking refs.

There were 3 hand balls at Havant we get no pens they get 1
Penalty not given v Chelmo when Loui was elbowed in the box cynically.. No pen and No Red Card, Chelmo given pen when ref couldnt posibly have seen if Coyle handballed it.
A stonewall yesterday we get no penalty when Braithwaite slapped the ball away
A Kung Fu Kick on Andrews v Hampton no red card
A Punch by a Boreham Wood player no red card
Their goal Femi was fouled and held back, was allowed to stand

I could probably find 3 or 4 more penalties we havent been given.

Inconsistent, Incapable refs are a factor in why we are getting Cards and getting frustrated.

Silly boy all I can say especially as Allinson had been booked only seconds before

The ref had no choice but to send him off

Chelsea fan here - got in for a fiver - I moved into Welling and lived about five minutes away from the ground when The MIGHTY WINGS won the Southern League. Have seen some classic games - Blackburn in the FA Cup, Leyton Orient away in the FA Cup when the MIGHTY WINGS went 1-0 up, then had to move away - always kept in touch with results as you will see with this thread http://www.thefootballnetwork.net/boards/read/s379.htm?722,10056262

My report here http://www.thefootballnetwork.net/main/chelsea-/s379.htm didnt give Welling enough credit for the football they played - apologies for that - despite an extremely bobbly pitch for this time of the season.

Enjoyed the day and will be back against Woking on the 18th, when Football Icon's 1st Winner Sam Hurrell makes his return to PVR

All the best

The lino was blind and hapless to when he didnt give the penalty 'I wasn't 100% sure' he said LOL LOL

Regardless about Sam, will still be there, just in case. I got £2 to claim on a scratchcard

Patsy where are you LOL

Rtec
There were two fat blokes at the back cheering and two at the front behind the goal when Wood scored. Best goal of the game.

No am not related to Williams, I thought he had a good game in the first half.

Sort of went t*ts up for him in the 2nd with the mix up to allow Cumbers to score the easiest goal of his career and the own goal when he had no chance.

Could have got a lot worse if the officials had awarded Wings the blatant penalty for handball.

The lino said 'I wasn't 100% percent sure' LOL I was in line with the lino and I saw it

here is that cumbers goal v Chelmsford...

I wouldn't call myself a statistican John, but Jack has had 4 yellows and a red in the first 7 games.

Now I think Jack is a great player, but he does need to control himself. With the embargo on players, we need all our fit players to be available. I thought the ref had no choice but to give him a red - it was a really poor thing for Jack to do, right in front of the ref (who was shocking). Jack will now be missing from the FA Cup game I believe, and if we ever needed a cup run, then it is now. When he does come back he will facing another ban if he continues his run of yellows.

I hope Jack will reflect on this. I am sure he will. We need him playing and setting an example. Sadly, I feel that Jack has been a red card waiting to happen since the first game of the season.

I agree with this. I've noticed that he likes to go flying into tackles with his studs showing, and he's got away with those sorts of challenges so far. Also, seeing as he is our captain, he should be above getting into silly altercations with little diving cheats like that Boreham Wood player. Hopefully he won't do this sort of thing again in the future. You can bet Daisy will have had words with him about it, so i don't see it becoming an issue.

 

yeah but many more and we ill not have 11 men to put on the pitch...even more pertinent when you think that the BIG money making games....the FA Cup will start soon

I have to say though that Sambrook compared to last year has been a revelation....I tend to agree though

The embargo thingy just seems to be punishing us twice

I agree with your comments bruno, IMO Jack Parkinson appears to be more in control of his game when playing alongside Graeme Andrews. Unfortunately players have had to be moved to different positions due to injuries (and the embargo), but they have coped well under the circumstances and they have been a credit to our club.

Indeed nothing wrong with thinking that, Jack is remorseful too, hes a fine young man and you have to take into account him playing out of position, being young, all of the off the field stuff the club is going through.

There is so much to praise him for but some people choose to have a pop. Any chinks in our armour could force gaping holes.
