Ok people I have changed my mind and now love Kareigh Osbourne especially the way he waits for the attacking player to enter the box before hacking them down. The way he always shows the attacking player the way to goal but more importantly the way he aimlessly boots the ball up field to the opposition keeper
Like the way he aimlessly booted the ball to Sam Williams on Saturday against Exeter to play a part in setting up the equaliser.
From what I've seen of Karleigh this season whilst he is still prone to the odd mistake, as are all players at this level, he is much improved and quite honestly if he was as big a muppet as you make out then I'm sure AS would have figured him out by now.

Osborne and abilty
You mean Osborne the liabilty
Powell got sent off for being stupid (and should be fined 2 weeks wages) Why he hit out at Osborne only he will know and I am sure it had nothing to do with Hullbee's dislike of Osborne's playing abilty.

There can be no justification for one player striking a member of his own team, under any circumstances. However, it is up to the Scotty to sort this out. I was there, but didn't really see what happened, but it would probably have gone unnoticed by the referee and linesman if the Bournemouth players hadn't drawn it to their attention. As to whether Powel should play for us again, only the Manager can decide.

I have been pleasantly surprised by Powell's footballing performances to date - he's given us a real aerial presence. However, I've been much less pleased by his 'leadership'. Several times against Bradford he laid into a team-mate, and he had a right go at Hamer on Saturday (after the incident where he collided with Bennett). I guess the main reason he was brought in was to use his experience to marshal the troops, but he's a bit of a loose cannon to be honest. Looks like we may not see him again...

Marvin is crap but KO is not, would you prefer Pead?
Agree with Marvin comment.
Pead I think could have been ok this season had Andy Scott had given him a run of games
I really wish that all thoose Osborne lovers on here would stand up at games and defend their man when he is getting booed and moaned at
Darren Powell
Anyone calling Osborne a clown on this thead should think again, he had a very very good game today and will easily keep his place with more performaces like that. Apart from a few wayward passes he was excerlent.

OK, three pages of emotion and vitriol on this thread but NOBODY has yet actually answered the question "what actually happened".
Like the overwhelming majority of Bees fans I was seated opposite and at the other end of the pitch and saw nothing.
Was anyone in the Bnmth end or perhas MarkyBee had a closer view from his commentary point.
We would all like an unemotional and factual account of what happened please.
Many thanks.

i have to say that although i think we have far better RB's in the squad and do not really think osborne is up to scratch, he did have a much better game today and didnt let the incident with powell get to him

1) How could you not.
2) I thought you were mad but now realise you are extreme special needs, Craig Pead!
3) I don't love him but more than prepared to stick up for him at games if that helps.

Frankly the Muff players were whinging to the ref all afternoon & I assumed it was Pitman squealing to the referee about Powell & not about a punchup between two Brentford players.
Powell has done well for us in the air as mentioned by Steveil and his physical presence was v useful against that gentleman of the sport, Fletcher, but if punches were thrown at KO then he should be severely punished by the club. Btw some of Powell's distribution today was suicidal - some of KO's was sublime.

agree with Greenholme, regardless of what Powell actually did, how on earth did he get himself in that situation to start with. As the clock ticked 47mins you thought only at Brentford could this be happening, top, 1up away from home and playing well, and we go and get a man sent off for handbags with a colleague !!
Fair play to Osborne, he could have cracked after the incident but probably played even better, and as for Mr Phillips, a reliable as ever performance with a couple of cracking blocks.
Lets hope it is dealt with internally and we can concentrate on more positive things.

The ref showed him a red card.

It looked to me like pushing and shoving.
From what I could see, as it was down the other end, It came shortly after Powell (I think) cleared off the line, so presumably DP had something to say to KO about how the ball ended up heading goalwards.

He wasn't sacrificed, they are professionals in a team game. They all know that adjustments have to be made in situations like that.

Don't agree. Most of us on here would have been cheesed off to be subbed under those circumstances
Hand bag fights between team mates is not professional and he let the side down.

The incident happened after an almighty goalmouth scramble at the start of the second half which resulted from our players seemingly to be still in the dressing room rather than back on the pitch playing football. Hamer then cleared upfield and most eyes (and all cameras) were on the ball. Attention then turned to an altercation between KO, DP and Bmuff player. A supporter sitting close to me immedialety reported that DP had punched KO and the Bmuff player was trying to keep the peace. Ref consulted lino and inevitable red followed. Biggest concern was that KO would receive red as well.
The incident was reported on SSN last night but was somewhat overshadowed by the Romanian rugby battle.
Due to extreme second half effort by the players remaining on the pitch this unsavioury incident did not cost us points at Bournemouth but leaves us short of central defensive cover. Powell's mistake led to the goal against Exeter and he made a few slips in the first half yesterday. DP is (was) good to have in the squad but I am more than happy to see the Phillips-Bennett partnership back together.
After the match, KO was very calmly explaining what had happened to Nathan Elder. The spirit of the players getting onto the team bus was excellent - most of them got back off the bus to buy ice creams from the van in the forecourt.
Powell was not surprisingly looking a bit sheepish and kept a low profile. 
The win was a great healer so, hopefully, no lasting damage other than a 3-game ban for DP.

I am as well. Phillips did not deserve to be dropped in the first place. He might not be one that takes the plaudits but I've never seen him do anything wrong.

...on the way back up!

I think Powell was drafted in after the Wycombe game, when were shown up for our lack of height in our team.
Even before Powell was sent off yesterday, I thought he was having a 'mare...rushing clearances and passing to the opposition
Phillips was solid when he came on and agree he should see out the season in the team and help lift the League 2 trophy
Darren Powell
I had a go at someone in New Road on Saturday for slagging KO off and one or two other players, including Billy Clarke who ended up scoring our equaliser
Why bother going if you are not going to support the team during the match?

The Barnet game was the warning, the Wycombe game confirmed it. Powell was a very good move by Andy Scott but as it happened, none of the teams since have been able to provide the same threat that those two teams posed.

Well I was in the Bournemouth end and the report that Banana posted from "The Times" is a pretty accurate description of what happened. The interesting thing is that the referee didn't see it and the assistant did not think that it was bad enough to draw his attention to the matter. Then a Bournemouth player got involved. Had Pittman (I think it was him) not got involved then I am sure to incident would have just faded away.
Powell obviously was upset at Osborne's defending and told him so. Osborne didn't like the criticism and responded, when Powell shoved him away with an angry gesture. To me it was a case of two committed players reacting to a situation that sometimes happens in a passionate game like football. Nevertheless, Powell is old enough and experienced enough not to get involved the way he did. I just hope that common sense will prevail and no more will be heard of the matter. Somehow I doubt it though.

The press association put the goal down to Powell, a bit of a mix-up over shirt numbers. Their guy in the press box was aware it was Clarke, but their 'facts' remained and are sold to other organisations. Billy will have to go 'round and correct all the history books.
Clarke scored the goal, Cozy was 75 yards away!

DP should know better especially if he was playing for a contract next year.
He was only doing what some subscribers on here have wanted to do for KO for a couple of seasons now.
Perhaps he will serve his suspension by giving KO some 1-2-1 defending tuition?

Perhaps it should have been the other way round. Osborne has defended infinitely better than Powell in the last two games.

so he could attack other Bees players....
It was a mistake.
Karliegh actually notched, but was too modest to say so

Northampton's finest in our car came up with a couple of reasons.
Was DP upset at the short corner coming over and maybe KO didn't do enough to close down or did KO have a pop at DP's spazzy attempted clearance that he had to mop up?

i find it very ironic that scott put powell in the team to support osbourne with this experience and then they end up fighting.......
Is it now hypocritical, if I point out, there is no "U" in Osborne ?
