Soar Fox Posted 1 November 2011 Posted 1 November 2011 Does anyone know if he got booked for lifting his shirt up?
m00nie Posted 1 November 2011 Posted 1 November 2011 sure i read also the ref didnt book him for exposing t shirt.
Corky Posted 1 November 2011 Posted 1 November 2011 BBC Sport says he didn't. Thankfully the referee used common sense.
Soar Fox Posted 1 November 2011 Posted 1 November 2011 That's alright then, it would have been an absloute disgrace if he had. Fair play to him playing tonight, I'm sure his head was all over the place.
Bert Posted 1 November 2011 Posted 1 November 2011 Tributes have been paid to Doncaster striker Billy Sharp after he played and scored against Middlesbrough three days after the death of his newborn son. Sharp led a minute's applause before Tuesday's 3-1 defeat by Doncaster, in which he scored the opening goal. Tributes have been made on social networking site Twitter, including one from ex-Ipswich player Matt Holland. "Thoughts are with Billy Sharp and his wife tonight after losing 2 day old son. Very brave to play. #RIP" The 25-year-old striker missed Doncaster's draw against Coventry last weekend and was not expected to play against Middlesbrough after the death of his son Louie. But after being handed the captain's armband, and scoring in the 14th minute for Dean Saunders' side, Sharp lifted up his Doncaster shirt to reveal a T-shirt that read: "That's for you, son." The action of revealing a message on a T-shirt is usually followed by a yellow card, so referee Darren Deadman was praised by the crowd for not applying the letter of the law on this occasion. Rovers' subsequent defeat was almost forgotten as fans and players took to Twitter and Facebook to pay tribute to the Sheffield-born player and his wife. Rio Ferdinand, former Aston Villa midfielder Ian Taylor and former England striker Stan Collymore were among thousands of well-wishers who saluted the bravery of Sharp for taking to the field after such a tragic event. Before kick-off, Sharp requested a message be read to supporters ahead of the minute's applause. The message read: "This is a minute's applause to celebrate the short life of Billy and Jade's son Louie Jacob Sharp. "Born 27th October, taken by the angels on the 29th. Sleep tight son."
Guest Basildon Fox Posted 2 November 2011 Posted 2 November 2011 As a father myself I could not think of anything more heart braking to lose a child and can only imagine the pain he is going through at the moment. A very brave decision to play tonight and glad he scored.
Fox92 Posted 2 November 2011 Posted 2 November 2011 Very sad when someone dies, especially at a very young age. It really does put everything into perspective. Fair play to Billy Sharp, and his family, I can't imagine what they have been going these past days. Top man, top player.
ajthefox Posted 2 November 2011 Posted 2 November 2011 literally just seen this and was about to post it if it hadn't already been, really took me back. Can't even begin to imagine how hard that must've been, great for him to get a goal. Thoughts are with Billy and his family, fantastic effort.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 2 November 2011 Posted 2 November 2011 Credit to the ref too for not booking him (he did no less than what Balotelli got booked for v Man Utd)
gazfox9 Posted 2 November 2011 Posted 2 November 2011 Credit to Billy Sharp. Who knows where his head must be at, but I'd guess footballs his release. Thoughts go out to him and his family. I think this proves not everyones in it for the money and fame, aka Tevez.
stripeyfox Posted 2 November 2011 Posted 2 November 2011 As a dad myself i really feel for the lad. you can't even imagine how he and his wife must be feeling. Thoughts are with them x
JuddLCFC Posted 5 November 2011 Posted 5 November 2011 I have nothing but respect for Billy Sharp, after suffering the loss of his son and then playing 3 days later and scoring shows what great bravery and courage the lad has, and it really shows how much of a mercenary Carlos Tevez is! i wouldn't mind seeing him hop on the next plane to Argentina.
