Thought he did well Saturday. We all agree Rose still has a hell of a lot to learn, the way he can go completely AWOL, his crass crossing, his hot-headedness, etc, but that was such a well taken goal and I like the way defensively he imposes himself so physically in the tackle, similar to Walker. Leaves his opponent no doubt they're in a tough battle with him.
Agree with Mail reporter's take on the Shawcross incident -
Stoke supporters were incensed when Ryan Shawcross was sent off by Andre Marriner for a tackle on Rose in the second half, even though replays showed it was a challenge that merited the yellow card it got - Shawcross’s second.
As for the push on Cameron, if Marriner takes the immediate action on Cameron by calling him over to book him like he should have done, that push doesn't happen, so maybe this explains why Rose only got the yellow.
Credit to Sherwood for swiftly diffusing the situation following that fracas in pulling Rose right out of the ridiculous cauldron of hate the Britannia had become, because by then Stoke knew all they had to do is nobble him once more to provoke a second retaliation and get himself sent off.
