Shola available for Munich game.

The Journal this morning reckons Shola will be available after all for the return leg v 1860. They say that in the TwoBob you are suspended after 3 yellows, not the usual two.

Seems curious, but hey it's about time we had some good fortune.

Very bad decision I thought that booking. Should be reveresed if they examined video evidence. Shola's foot was being held as he tried to walk away from the incident. He angrily flicked his foot free and then the offender pretended he had been kicked. The Jorman should have been booked not Shola.

Agree with you Jonno, the player made a meal of it.

More than made a meal of it, Kats. It was out and out blatant cheating, aimed at getting Shola sent off. I'm reminded of Mark Hughes in a European game for Manure clutching his head and falling to the ground as if he had been headbutted. Opposition player got red carded. Replays showed the player never got near to touching him. Disgraceful.

I know the German was cheating, I was more animated about it on Wednesday night, just feeling laid back today ;-)
