Can anyone remember Gabby's without Googling? You're scum if you lie.

Gabby's what? Red card?

Not sure when, but my guess is either at the start of his career when he was young and impetuous, or towards the end when he couldn't be arsed.

Spoiler for Hiden:
Against Man U for a supposed foul on Ashley Young in 2014, apparently. It was rescinded on appeal.

Yeah, I had previously asked about Ollie's only red as I couldn't remember it. Considering Gabby also only had one I was wondering if anyone else could remember his.

I can't. I did Google and only found what adorable CD just posted.

It should have a little asterisk by his one then, really. I'm sure we felt his lack of presence on the pitch.

As he has many times this season, worked hard, scored, but should have put the game to bed. Hard low, through the keepers legs. His finishing has been massively down on last season quality wise, but he'll know that. Hopefully it will get better next season again.

You’re right, he should have hit it low and hard, like he did with the shot that won us the game and three points.

Then again, if he hits it hard and low and he misses, people would have gone 'why didnt he try and chip it'?

He seemed quite spikey after the game when lee Hendrix was interviewing him.

Wasn't really in the game, but you can't underestimate his work rate off the ball.

Overestimate. Underestimating him is what people are doing.

Oh, I think he's being estimated quite accurately by some of us.

Maybe. I’m just fed up of hearing and reading people saying or writing the opposite of what they mean. It’s an epidemic.

I assumed you'd been married for a while mate!

Haha! I have but I have a very forthright wife who tells me exactly what she’s thinking. She doesn’t even have to say anything as her face is very expressive (and pretty). Fortunately, she always falls for ‘you’re so gorgeous when you’re angry’.

Sorry if it sounds a bit sexist, but it’s true.

A late second yellow for simulation against Man Utd in the Dean Smith days.

Only fair as Manure players are so sporting that they would never do a thing like that.  I think it was more that he saw the goalkeeper coming and went to ground to protect himself without actually appealing for a foul.

Presumably the lack of Watkins is an injury precaution rather than him not being chosen?
