Football The 2010/2011 Season Thread

[Keitanz]

Everyone is right now put your handbags away.

 

[Cerb]

Everyone involved in this:

 

[Ch3tan]

Dermert Gallacher has said it was offside and he can't understand why it was not given.

 

[Corran]

Viewed it, and it has to be offside even though you can get around it by the way the law written.

Saha was the target of the pass, he was the only person there going for the ball.
The defender felt he had to cut out hte pass due to saha presence in the box
As such this means that Saha is active as he is influencing the play.

If a play had come from an onside position to run onto that "cut out" pass (in a "offside position" when defender played it, but not the initial pass) then no problem, but clearly the player that was offside influenced play and benefited from offside position thus it should been ruled out.

Mind you, look at the freekicks in past couple seasons when attacker stands well offside and jumps around blocking the keepers view of the ball. Multiple goals were allowed to stand in this situation which was crazy

 

[Vasconcelos]

Having a huge disscusion here with a jobm8:

Who would you choose?

OR

and yes, it is footy related since both were conected with a famous goalkeeper.

 

[Ch3tan]

I choose both.

 

[Shagrat]

Top one, and cerbs handbag picture is ace, but couldn't rep it, so I'm blaming that on wonk and female linespeople as well, just to show how topical and with it i am.

BBC Sport - Football - Man Utd defender Gary Neville retires

United's season is over!

 

[Scouse]

Also olol

They thought he’d always be a red – Torres! Torres!
You’ll never walk alone he said – Torres! Torres!
They bought the lad from sunny Spain,
He scored a few then grew a brain
He told the club he wants to leave,
To play with Frank instead of Steve
Fernando Torres – Chelsea’s new number nine!

Doesn't fit the tune. And I reckon I could come up with better myself anyway

 

[Ch3tan]

Neville legend, injuries ruined the twilight of his career, but he was needed in the dressing room more than the pitch these last few seasons anyway.

 

[Corran]

I always dread the matches when he is actually playing in recent times, so it is good that Neville is retired. But he a good player to have in the background to help bind the team.

 

[soze]

New tactic for the weekend, stand rvp 20 yard offside and just try to hit the nearest opponent with the ball and hope he deflects to rvp

I don't think the Ref and Lino are at fault it is the stupid offside rule and the fact it is so complicated. Bring back offside being offside.

Liverpool will concede a few then, Johnson at LB and Aurelio at LM it looks like.

 

[Ch3tan]

See Tevez's back is fine then... This could be nasty for Brum.

 

[megadave]

Neville should have retired 2-3 years ago tbh, I pray to the footballing god's he doesn't become a pundit.

 

[Cerb]

He would be United's answer to Phil Thompson

 

[Ch3tan]

Yes, there needs to balance to Phil Thompson and Jamie Redknapp being on sky. Bring on the Neville!

 

[Ch3tan]

Yet another assist for VdV. What a signing. Damn you Spuds!!!

 

[Gray]

Fucking radio said it was Phil Neville who retired, i was half crying on the way home just now. Bastards.

 

[Ch3tan]

AHAHAHA!! Get in Brum

 

[Gibbo]

Was it Jaap Stam who described the Nevilles as "busy little c*nts" ?

 

[Keitanz]

Meireles really has been our saviour as of late, he has been class.

 

[megadave]

Yes, there needs to balance to Phil Thompson and Jamie Redknapp being on sky. Bring on the Neville!

You don't create balance by adding a prick to another pair of pricks

 

[leviathane]

c'mon birmingham.

 

[Keitanz]

Suarezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[Ch3tan]

Wasn't suarez keitz. He was involved but it was an own goal.

 

[gohan]

fernandwho?

 

[gohan]

Wasn't suarez keitz. He was involved but it was an own goal.

nah if its on target doesnt matter who gets last touch its a suarez goal


only and OG if it wasnt going in before the touch

 

[Ch3tan]

Yeah I know that, but sky sports boys don't think it will be given too him. Came back in off the post not straight off the defender. BBC still crediting him with it though.
