Newell angered by foreign players Luton boss Mike Newell could face disciplinary action after criticising foreign players and match officials after his side's 3-2 loss at West Brom. "Should play have stopped before the second? The linesman had a good view of the incident," he said referring to the injury to his player David Bell. "Most officials are not capable of refereeing or running the line anyway." He added: "When a ball is put out and a player gets up it annoys me. We're going soft because of the foreigners." He added: "As soon they are touched, they go to ground. "I will never have a player feigning injury, ever. I don't want those players in my side. "You have this kicking the ball out and then someone gets straight up. They should be embarrassed." Luton were leading 2-1 until the last two minutes of the game before a Kevin Phillips double gave Albion a dramatic win. Is it just me that wants to put a very thick layer of duck tape around his mouth?  |

So out of curiosity, how many of you would disagree with what he said? Off the top of my head, all the players I can think of who're notrious for diving or feigning injury are mainland European and South American - just look at the world cup. Players from those continents have even admitted that over there it's not cheating, it's an art - it's accepted as part of the game and okay if you don't get caught. Again, he could probably have worded it better. It can be twisted to make it look like he's racist - but I think it's a statement of truth, personally. Remember when you used to have to all but break someone's leg to get booked in English football? (Not literally, but you know what I mean, I'm sure...) Of course, the FA would never say this because of the backlash they'd face. Time to protect their own interests once again  |

Generally, I think you're right Neko. Andy Johnson is probably one of the few English players with a 'diving' reputation. I just wish that Newell would just keep it shut for a while, and get into the transfer market!!  |

Have you looked at Teamtalk, Neko? Stein is angry about Morgan, but Newell says 'Don't Panic!!' |

He's the Championship's answer to Maureenho - you might not like what he says, you might not even like the bloke, but you have to at least grudgingly give him some respect for saying it. |

All well and good saying we shouldn't panic, but if my reckoning is correct, Newell didn't actually have a choice in the team he fielded against WBA, through injuries, suspensions and a generally small squad anyway. Two weeks is a long time as goes results, but a very short time to attract players. I hope he's got several aces up his sleeve! |
