50/50 ball and our keeper bodied Mullin which resulted in him puncturing his lung. My view is it's fair, it's a foul as Mullin gets the ball first but it's not malicious in any way.
Bishop came out of the box and took out Paul Mullen and he had to receive oxygen on the field and was taken to the hospital. It would have been a red card had there been VAR or it not being a friendly. It was definitely a bad decision on Bishops part but things happen I don’t think he had any ill intentions.
Oh feck them. I hope they go back down.
No more Scuba diving though.
Some continually pissed up Wrexham fan who became internet famous for shouting at the match. He's like a local celebrity round here, he actually lives just round the corner from me, and he's got his own beer named after him. People go round calling him "Captain" and it's all so weird.
He went viral last week as he got so drunk he ended up pissing himself and someone posted a picture of it.
That's pretty OK then. Sounded real ominous.
My lung collapsed after an op to remove my gallbladder. I was in ICU for a week as my SATS were poor, but after that zero issues.
The influx of American fans for Wrexham are.....eh.... they're quite something ...
How many posters knew what Wrexham was 18 months ago? Strange bunch.
Just had the time to watch it on YouTube, definitely a foul, quite possibly a red, but Bishop wasn't pulling off a Schumacher trying to intentionally hurt Mullin.
Mickey Thomas' club.
Sorry - meant how many of those Wrexham "supporters" on whatever board those screenshots are from.
That lot lost me at torts.
i watched the documentary and thought it was actually pretty outstanding with how they have embraced wrexham as a city and club and the people have embraced them.
the interview with Rob before the match was brilliant...just talking about why they chose Wrexham and how they stay the fuk out of the transfers and trust Phil to bring in the right players for what he wants to do footballing wise. They stick to making the club profitable marketing wise allowing them to financially run the club in a proper manner.
you can clearly see when they talk about the club and wrexham in general, it's now an obsession for them which should make any proper football fan happy to see

It seems you can't win as owner of a sports club if someone thinks like that
Quote by Wrexham manager Parkinson:
“It was a clumsy, reckless challenge in a preseason game and I’m not happy with it at all,” Parkinson said. “I haven’t seen the goalie and he’s probably best steering clear of us for the time being because we’re not very happy.”
What seems reckless to me is his statement.
Based on many of the tweets etc from Wrexham "fans" on here the celebrity chasing has already gotten to their heads, last thing we need is a manager issuing threats like that.

Parkinson can shut the feck up.
Barely a few months have gone by and we’re there already
Classic caf. Nothing can be liked for too long before it becomes hated.
Not yet but I'm here in CA. I think all the hoopla will end in the next season or two. Especially if they are finishing mid table.
Agreed, we should be so lucky to have owners that care about the club and community like they do.
Nothing against Wrexham AFC nor Ryan and Rob - I think that's probably the good way to go about growing the club instead of just pumping money in. The issue arises from the fact that most of their online presence now seems to be US residents (specifically) who haven't got a clue about football.. The Reddit screenshots more then prove the point. In a couple years time with more exposure I hope the football they get to watch enlightens them rather then them having an impact on the culture.
I think its okey for Parkinson to be angry - Mullin is head and shoulders the best player on that team, but given the amount of media focus the team has he should've had some actual media training. A bit surprising as I found him likable in the documentary-series.

Seems like we need a whole new academy too!

Not really, now the bad seasons would be chalked down to losing the guy who scored 47 times.
Agreed completely. One could only imagine
They’ll learn, Reddit screenshots come from people cherry picking the worst comments. There’s 128 comments on the update. I can gaurantee if we buy Hojland and someone made that tackle and he punctured his lung this place would be on fire.

So what exactly happened?
[/QUOTE]
Guy scored 47 goals for them last season… I can’t even imagine how upset we would be
What also makes it worse is that bishop doesn’t put his hands towards the ball. Idk sort of looks like a red
That's how they'll be able to grow quickly though. If they were silent non visible owners, I doubt we'd have seen the same success - they are very much part of the brand of the club.
Getting into the PL will be difficult albeit not impossible but I reckon when we see this year's turnover in March/Apr they will be comparable to some Championship sides.
They are the brand, Wrexham is merely a vessel. For me it makes as much sense as Danny Dyer and Henry Cavill buying an NFL franchise.
May have some restrictions on flying. So might be stuck in the US for a while.

Its a weird tackle. Just looks a bit stupid and badly timed, but a bit innocuous and unlucky really.
Both feet look like they're off the floor i wonder would that make the impact worse? Should be a red card for that even if it wasn't the legs hitting the player no?

They need to get rid of that idiot before he says/does something that puts a negative light on their project. He is immature and this statement would be something a 12 year old on the playground might say.
If you look at it objectively you’ll realise that for that collision to happen it only requires one of the players to be about 0.3 seconds late into the situation. For an experienced manager to go all out on a young player and basically accuse him of deliberately doing their player is incredibly poor form.
I get that it’s a terrible outcome for their most important player, but Parkinson’s experienced enough to know that such collisions happen 15 times per game without a punctured lung being the outcome very often.
What a stupid statement.
He's outside of the box, why would he be trying to get a hand to it?
He's tried to nip in front and head it clear.
A nothing challenge. Clumsy.
Wrexham boys not as hard as they thought

Parkinson can do one it's a coming together and sadly Mullins got injured. No need to accuse the kid of trying to injure the player.
Yes but you won't be complaining if you're a Wrexham fan. In a fairytale word they take them into the Prem, in reality I reckon they will sell them as a solid Championship club. At least they care about the club and attend some games, more than most owners.
Like I said, must be great for the fans, just like it was for city fans when they were bought out. Not saying they're in anyway comparable to city's owners but I'm not basing my opinions on the fans of a club I don't support.
First half was correct-- it was a clumsy challenge. It happens-- he thought he could get there- and he was late. That said-- I watched the replay a few times and sure, he gets a shoulder into Mullins side-- but I'm in shock that hit actually caused a punctured lung. What a fluke injury. I'll take about 25 elbows to the ribs every time I play basketball-- from dudes bigger and stronger than Bishop.
Don't appreciate Parkinson saying he best steer clear of us. Bishop is a young, inexperienced player and accidents happen. Clearly there was no intent as if anyone is likely to get hurt in a collision between those 2, I would have put my money on Bishop being the one who got hurt.
