Shut up shut up shut up

 

[Vladamir]

Oosh Ameobi

 

[CorNokZ]

Golazo big time boys

 

[CorNokZ]

Oh my Defoe! Play that ball, get the three points and don't think about your own scoring record

 

[Ch3tan]

To be fair, defoe was always going to go for goal. Amazing block.

Ameobi's strike was a MONSTER.

 

[Ch3tan]

Oh Colocinni!

 

[Ch3tan]

What a game

 

[Vladamir]

Awesome second half.

 

[CorNokZ]

To be fair, defoe was always going to go for goal. Amazing block.

Even if the keeper stood still and didnt use his hands it would have hit him right in the chest or stomach.. Horrible decision and complete tunnel vision if you ask me

 

[Shagrat]

Good game, thought Colo had got us the 3 pts at the end, happy with a point though, fair result

Any Football Ramble listeners planning to go to their christmas drinks thing this year?

Might go with a friend who is also an avid listener. Last year's was supposed to be a blast.

 

[Cerb]

I was listening to the latest episode today and as they were talking about that I was just thinking how much I wish i could go!

Anyone else have the hairs on the back of their necks stand up sometimes when these guys do the hall of fame?

The George Best and now Sir Bobby ones stand out in my mind particularly.

 

[Ch3tan]

I know not what this football ramble is, but I want to.

A weekly podcast with 4 English lads. I know that at least one of them is a stand up comedian.

Funny, well thought out and really enjoyable.

Definitely worth a listen.

And also last year they gave Eksdee's "lost art of the football tasche" a mention so they are spot on fellas!

 

[eksdee]

Yeah they are great chaps. Best football podcast out there imo. Jim has been close friends with my girlfriend's brother since they were kids so I had met him a few times before I even knew that the podcast existed. When I started listening it didn't even click at first!

 

[Raven]

scythed down!

 

[Keitanz]

Downing clearly got half his leg bruised by that..

 

[caLLous]

From his exagerrated impact with the ground? I hope the poor petal is alright.

 

[Ch3tan]

I feel the FA should take action for that.

Ban the whole Liverpool team.

BBC Sport - Foreign owners 'want end to Premier League relegation'

:|

 

[caLLous]

How do you end promotion and relegation in a multi-tier league system?

 

[Corran]

How do you end promotion and relegation in a multi-tier league system?

quite easy. The premiership for all intents and purpose will become a seperate entity and the championship will become the top league of the "multi-tier" system.

Would guess that they would include something stupid like "if finish in bottom (1-3 spots) for 3 years in a row then a vote will be made as to if you are removed from the premiership and replaced by the best championship team of the past x years

But it will ruin the game if they do that, and be funny if UEFA stepped in and said "under this situation, all european qualifaction spots will be given to the top side of the multi-tier system (ie the championship)". Would bring an end to this idea instantly

 

[Wazzerphuk]

It'll never happen, pointless discussing it.

 

[Raven]

It would yes but it could also lead to talk of a European super league, separate from UEFA. Thus buggering most of the teams in the premiership. They would find themselves outside of the tier system and not in the big money league. Just deserts

But yeah, it would never happen.

stupid idea, venkeys + kean can F**K off

 

[DaGaffer]

On the flip side, is a professional league of 92 clubs too much?

I doubt they'll be able to prove anything one way or another. If I was a betting man I'd say Suarez is guilty because a. its very unusual to see Evra react like that, so something was going on beyond normal needle*, and b. I'm going to make a massively sweeping statement here, but the "white" parts of South America (Argentina, Chile and Uruguay) are surprisingly racist.

*(and no, I don't think it was because Suarez skinned him a few times; others have done that on occasion and he's not responded like that).

 

[megadave]

Yeah I think so, but how do you prove it? Isn't the accusation that he mouthed the word nigger, not said it?

 

[caLLous]

Evra said he heard it "at least 10 times" throughout the match though, didn't he?
