Paul Cook

Paul Cook

It would have meant more if he obviously hadn't instructed his team to overreact to any challenge by Pearson to get him booked, as clearly shown by photos of the incident. Not very classy!
 
Yeh he does a lot of moaning and wingeing at the ref too, think he's one of them "win at all costs" managers. But I also noticed how when the MoM was announced (Gally) he took time out to clap and nod in agreement, so fair do's.

I saw at the end of the game Paul Cook did his usual classy thing and waited to shake the hand of every Preston player as they went off. Respect

he also clapped whe Gally was announced MOM....... though I agree with jb about the obvious 'premeditated' tactic of getting pearson booked.

interesting at the final whistle PEarson was on of the first off and didnt go anywhere near Wigans 3rd sub - Williams !!

Think I will pass on saying well done to Cook.

This is the embarrassing reaction from his players and himself to a perfectly fine tackle that got Ben booked when it wasn’t even a foul.

Standard piss poor championship referring too!

can we appeal yellow cards ?

He won the ball of that there is no doubt, but I think the ref took 2 things into consideration:
1. He lost control of the ball
2. This trailing leg left the ground and hit the player.
Tough, but I think the ref hot it right.

It was a late challenge by the Wigan player......was never his ball.

Do you recall the tackle by Ayala at Boro when he was sent of for flying in at knee height, and the red was overturned......complete farce some of these decisions.
 
That is the type of yellow that I don't mind Pearson, rightly or wrongly, being given.

It is the gobbing off that infuriates me. At least he walked away after the challenge, maybe just maybe things are slowly sinking in, at last!, with Ben.

He was just plotting his revenge
 
First time I’ve seen that tackle due to being on holiday and i have to say it’s a terrible decision. It certainly wasn’t wreck less, out of control or dangerous to an opponent. How a yellow is issued bemuses me. What more Pearsons studs aren’t showing either so he’s well in control.

Regards paul cook, I actually like the guy and think he tries to play football the right way. However he is bit of an arse with his touchline antics, and certainly irritates other managers/coaches. Certainly tried to take advantage of any situation.
Him and warnock on the same sideline could be fireworks if the return game at cardiff kicks off a bit

If you slow the video down, you'll see Pearson's left foot only left the ground after their player made contact with Pearson's right leg.
At least a free kick to us as the Wigan player was late to the challenge and hit Pearson first and after the ball had gone.
The ref responded to the reaction, not what he saw. He wasn't helped by the 4th official either, who had their assistant manager straight in his ear.
Embarrassing decision, deliberate cheating and playing on Pearson's reputation.
 
Weird one cook, acts like a prick on the touch line but I’ve found him very fair in interviews.
