General Kashi 4 game ban

On EFL on quest after Monday’s game, it said he’s never been sent off before in his 11 year career, but twice this month.

Find that very hard to believe.
 
For me Kashi is good playing in a two in a 4-2-3-1 with Brannagan we saw the best of him there & a good partnership worked well together

As a holding CM in a 4-3-3 formation against Charlton he looked out of his comfort zone & looked slow to react
 
I think he's one of those players who needs to be playing every week. If he has a break for any reason it looks as if he has to rebuild his form over a couple of games. His rhythm and timing in particular seem to go.
 
I wonder how many times Sir Gary Briggs would be yellow carded in 50 games of today's namby pamby football
I doubt he would ever have seen a second half ? and with Whitehurst up the other end, we'd be finishing most games with 9 men!

That tackle on Rougvie, never knew a man could fly so far ?

Les Phillips and Malcolm Shotton wouldn't have made the 2nd half either. The tackle by Les Phillips on David Speedie, in a similar vein to the one on Rougvie, also sticks in my mind. 2 of some of the greatest tackles I've seen.

Going back a few years one of the daily papers ran a feature on the hardest man in football , if memory serves, rambo had more red cards than any one else at the time. Gary Briggs was according to the feature the hardest man in football .....only played for 3 clubs Middlesbrough, us & Blackpool ....spent most his career at the manor...rambo wouldnt last 5 mins before he got sent off these days.
One of my fave players of all time he is
 
He's absolutely regaled up at the Pitt as one of the heroes of Aberdeen, one of the hardest ever to play for them. And he looked like a ragdoll at the hands of Rambo!
He had the nerve to carry the ball over the halfway line...but Gary was having none of that fancy stuff. I think the Tartan Telegraph Pole landed back in his own half.
 
I also remember John Fashanu dared to mess with 'Rambo' at the Manor. Within 5 minutes of him doing that Fash was laid flat out in our half with Briggsy shrugging his shoulders on the half way line. Fash recovered but hardly touched the ball all game and when he did he got rid of it fast!!

And as Briggsy walked away he “accidentally” trod on Fashanu's hand, Fash went mad iirc but no one on the pitch saw it ?
 
Brings back memories of The Tank, who was nearly as hard as Briggsy. I remember when the new wonderkid Trevor Francis came down to The Manor. He had scored something like 15 goals in 16 games. Brum won an early corner at the Cuckoo Lane End and Ron took him out face down in the mud with his knee in his back. Never heard a squeak out of him for the rest of the game. Happy days....
