Football The 2010/2011 Season Thread

lol I am shocked, did not expect to see him get away with that. I don't think it was as bad as some are claiming but it was a sending off imo and warranted a ban of sorts.

"Man Utd striker Wayne Rooney will face no action for elbow on Wigan's James McCarthy "

If it would had been anyone else then it would have been a few match ban.

Some lad is arguing on facebook that its finally showing that the FA are no longer persecuting them haha.

Tell this to Gerrard then. Was it last season he smashed someone with the elbow off the ball, the ref didnt see it, the ref didnt take any action, the FA and Papers didnt say much of a word about it. It isnt all one way.

Now if it is correct there be no action, then I am surprised. But there been many times that incidents like this happen, no action taken and no big deal made about it.

As I said before, I think the movement of the wigan player to block him off probably was Rooney's saving grace in this incident because it gave room to argue that it was just trying to evade the attempted bodycheck on him (Which as that article in Express states would been a Man Utd freekick, if not for the raised elbow)

I had foreseen a 4 match ban due to a frivilous appeal ruling due to making sure he could play in the Chelsea match. After Arsenal copyin Calamity Carrick I thought the FA would hammer Rooney in order to help Arsenal incase they had a mental collapse now.

Some lad is arguing on facebook that its finally showing that the FA are no longer persecuting them haha.

Tbh when it comes to "off field" and "off ball" incidents the FA seem to generally take a harsher view in regards to Man Utd.
The Ferdinand elbow incident - if it wasnt utd it wouldnt been made a high profile TV trial leading to FA action
The Ferdinand Drug Test incident - Cho already mentioned that rio got 9 months, yet others basically get a slap on wrist
etc etc

Not saying the FA have it in for Utd, action was needed on them occassions. BUT, they need to show consistancy.
Cant believe the ref has turned round and said "I deem I took appropriate action". That takes some balls and bet the FA are pissed. lol

Clattenburg is the biggest fool out of all the refs.

If you have a story on a Premier League player would you sell it?

depends on the story

If it was a bad story and could mess up moral of opponents (mainly twats though) then sell it.

If it about team support, and it a positive story, then sell it.

Bad story about team support. Dont sell

I can't really say much as the media will probably be onto it fast even though he isn't a big star yet. The consequences of it worry me though, not for the guy himself because he is a prick for doing what he is doing but for his family as it has the potential to destroy a marriage. I am really torn.

Glad you said that...

10 Feb 2009 - Leeds v Millwall. Jermaine Beckford receives yellow card for elbowing Millwall 'keeper David Forde.

11 Feb 2009 - Jermaine Beckford charged with violent conduct by FA

12 Feb 2009 - FA hand Beckford 3 game ban

next...

Now I was going to use this in another forum, but it's a load of rubbish:

Jermaine Beckford last night admitted the FA's charge of violent conduct for elbowing Millwall goalkeeper David Forde during Leeds' 2-0 win on Monday night.

The 23-goal striker accepted a three-match ban and starts by missing tomorrow's derby at Huddersfield.

Referee Alan Wiley missed the offence at the time but made a report to the FA after studying the video replay.

However the match report (on the same site no-less)

Simon Grayson last night admitted his two-goal hero Jermaine Beckford was lucky not to be sent off for elbowing Millwall keeper David Forde.

Beckford escaped with a yellow from referee Alan Wiley, despite clearly catching Forde in the face with his elbow and Grayson was hugely relieved.

Now, either Alan Wiley is a lying **** or he was booked for something else in the fracas and thus the original offence went unpunished

if they'll find out eventually then you might as well make a few bob, they do pay quite well for these sorts of things

mate of mine used to hang out with pete doherty and pete would tell him to make up stories and sell them, he'd get about a grand a pop

The story involves a friend of mine, well a relative of a friend to be honest. They probably won't be damaged by it directly but with the media you never know. As much as I would love to shop the bastard and take the money I can't stop thinking about potential fallout.

what sort of thing is it? xd

Married man with young kids picking up young women from clubs initially but now it is looking like turning into an affair with the person I know.

I know you. Is it me ? Am I receiving top-drawer service in the box from one of Britain's finest ball-kick-gamers ?

:uhoh:

 

[megadave]

Unless its a big name English player, i doubt anyone will give a fuck

i'm not a fan of papers printing crap about footballers personal lives myself so wouldnt bother unless i genuinely disliked 'em

No.

 

[Keitanz]

Yup, the media won't give a shit if he's not an international player..

 

[Corran]

If they are having an affair then shop them to the media.

The woman involved doesnt deserve any protection either, if they know this is a married person they should stay the fuck away and not try to potentially ruin someones marriage. I have no forgiveness for anyone that attempts to do so because the amount of damage that it does to the cheated on spouse is unbelievable and it better to find out early.

100% agree with your sentiments and that is why I posted in the first place, he really does deserved to be named and shamed but the same old nagging worries keep coming back at me. The effect on his family, the effect on my friend and other friendships related to her, also the effect it might have on my own life.

Thing is, this story will get out if it carries on and I am realistic that if I don't then someone else will do it, still my concience is nibbling away at me.

Doooooo iiiiiiiiit

You are the devil sat on my left shoulder. Any takers for the role of right shoulder angel?

His family NEEDS to know. If they know they can deal with it. I know that the moment I found out about some things that had happened that shouldnt have I was able to deal with it. I had 6 weeks of suffering knowing something had happened but not knowing what and it felt like eveything was falling apart. When I found out what had happened I could deal with it (even if questioned if I know everything still at times). Things got much better after finding out though.
If he having an affair he dont care about his family (or multiple affairs/one nighters). They better of knowing now where there is time to move on then finding out it been going on for years.

Dont even put her feelings into it, the guy involved in my situation can never come near me because I will kill them. No matter how much time passes and what did/didnt happen, they should know better than try get involved.

Only worry is collateral damage that could be caused, but to be honest I dont think it would be that bad. Your friendship etc should be fine, and the media shouldnt hound anyone other than the bitch that went with him.

Cracking goal from Podolski this weekend:

[Ch3tan]

Don't do it cho, people have a right to make their own mistakes and solve them in private. There is nohing worse than the tabloid scum in this country, dont help them. If you have any real concern for any one involved then confront them. Otherwise be honest and admit you just want ti profit from someone else's misfortune and are looking for an excuse to let yourself do so.

If you don't, someone else will.

May as well make some cash out of it.

How'd your forgive her? I'd have smashed her face in.

 

[Corran]

Simple answer - apparently didnt sleep with him. Kissed whilst drunk then ton of flirting via text. Any more than that and she would have been out the door in an instant with everyone knowing what she had done!
