Another thing Mr. Tarkowski, it\'s hardly in the style of a proper captain to blame your teammates for your mistakes, is it? Well done Jordan on calling him out for it.

Got to agree with Keane critics. He clearly pulled his pony tail pulling his head back to prevent him heading. How that is standard CB defending is beyond me. It was a stupid thing to do. Red card? Not in my opinion but by the letter of the stupid soft laws then yeah.

The real questions that Tarkowski should be asking after the game are why was I so poor in this and the last game and why is my passing so shit. This Keane card really has provided a smokescreen for some. Right Moyes? Right Tarkowski? I have deep respect for Keane, but Tarwkoski\'s gamesmanship cuts no ice with me. \'He\'s gone to challenge for the ball and the hair is where his hand is to put his hand in his back. – here\'s no intention to pull the hair\'. The ball is on the way. Keane jumps. His left hand is on Tolu\'s left arm. His right hand is pulling Tolu\'s hair in the middle of his back. Keane put his had there not on what remained of the right side of Tolu\'s back. Reverse things Tarkowski. Not \' the hair is where his hand is\', but \'the hand is where his hair is\'. \'No intention\' or in Davey\'s word, it was not \'deliberate\'. Keane knew what he was doing – minute 3.08 tells me all that I need to know: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGm6BG1cGS0 Now, whether it was a red is another matter altogether. But Keane gave noted bloodsucker Chris Kavanagh the opportunity to impose himself on a novice referee and there was only going to be one outcome. Keane was at the least fucking stupid and I can see why some believe that he did deliberately pull Tolu\'s hair. The 3.08 freeze-frame can look like deliberate pulling rather than – what? – Keane steadying himself, doing what defenders do.

I mentioned this on another thread but I was utterly disgusted by his it was not \'deliberate\' shite and the uneducated and thick comment that we should all grow our hair long and reap the reward. He really is a dour I see it as it is favourite film role the footy coach in Kes type. He has the perfect face for disappointing news. But secretly, inwardly, I wonder if he is made up with this opportunity to appear ferocious and hard and avoid comment on the match itself. And he put Jake at right-back again. His next line up will be very interesting.

Rob # 13 – the Wolves player did react he gesticulated with his arm and shouted at the ref but then got on with it because Wolves were threatening from the right wing. As for the hair pull I have looked at the replay. Keane definitely grabbed a handful as they were going up and pulled it down as he was leaning in to head the ball. It’s a pity because he scored a brilliant goal – he picked his spot, and was unlucky not to get a second with a terrific header. Not only that, and much to my surprise and many others, he has been our best defender this season. Maybe I am just old fashioned but a footballer grabbing another man’s hair? I think it’s indefensible violent conduct or not. Or maybe the game has changed so much that anything goes if you can get away with it. Pulling players back by the arm because they have gone past you, fouling a player on the break in their half because the worst you will get is a yellow, and grabbing players round the chest in the box so they can’t even move let alone jump for a header. It is cynical and has gotten out of hand.
