Was during the red card incident it seems. A bit too blurry to really see Link to post Share on other sites

TLF10 4,440 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Does Britts mouth even remotely open for him to bite? His mouth seems closed to me so how is he biting him? Link to post Share on other sites
ErimusFootball 110 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) That Burrow looks like a suspect account, Talksport journo with a few hundred followers? Can't tell anything from the video but Britt was definitely looking to rile Ribierio, could have been sent off earlier on for the same thing. Might have dug his chin in between his shoulder blades at a push. Everyone to a man was class tonight. Can't argue with 3 points down there. If Britt played like that most weeks we'd be flying.

wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I literally can't see anything remotely akin to a bite, am I going blind? His head is on his back, how does that equate to a bite? Just seems like Forest fans being salty tbh. Link to post Share on other sites
boro-unger 3,814 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Nah, looks like he's just angry that rib has just stamped on his team mate. Although it would make a good headline: "Bitt Assombalonga"... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
KeithLambsFaxMachine 727 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Looked tenuous from that angle. The official site now has highlights, from other angles it looks even less like a bite, IMO. Link to post Share on other sites

Denzel Zanzibar 6,931 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 That's not a bite in a million years, it looks more like he goes to grab him from behind and the player pulls his chest and head into his back. Great win last night, wasn't expecting much given Forest's recent run of form and when I saw Britt starting I was like "oh no, here we go again" but he surprised me and actually scored! Still would rather he went in this window though. Link to post Share on other sites
Blanco 4,900 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 We really are a chalk and cheese team. There was no comparison between this game and the Birmingham game. That Ribeiro is a horrible little **** if he was to be bitten by anyone they would need a rabies jab Link to post Share on other sites
Redcar Rioja 5,872 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 If you were going to "bite" someone you would pick arms, legs, hand, ears, nose or any other fleshy protuberance. How on earth can you bite someone between the shoulder blades? There is nothing to sink your teeth into and your jaw couldn't possibly open wide enough for you to clamp on to flesh. Apart from all that Britt is then least likely person in Football that I can think of who would do something like that. I didn't notice if Forest players were wearing those Stat vests but if so Britt would have got a mouthful of GPS tracker rather than a piece of Yuri Ribiero. Link to post Share on other sites
marvin 290 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I don't think that's a bite. More a push in the back but surely there would've been a reaction if Britt's teeth had got anywhere near him! Anyway, the game I thought was spot on apart from conceding the late goal. A complete contrast to the performance against Brum. It was like a different team, the whole mentality and attitude was spot on. We really frustrated them and despite what some people think, I actually find our style of play quite entertaining to watch. A lot of pressure without the ball and trying to retain it and move up the pitch with it. Link to post Share on other sites

Even right after another flare up, he was smiling like he always does. Just can't see it at all. Link to post Share on other sites
