Football The 2011/2012 Season Thread

[Shagrat]

Non-contact sport in 10 years.

10 years? its virtually a non contact sport now with some referees. Been a very disappointing season so far this year for referee decisions and Chris Foy is one of the bad ones

2 footed and off the floor, letter of the law that's a red. I have not seen it just going off the bbc but they said it was a bit harsh.

I can see the excuses already getting lined up by LP fans, as well as boring everyone else to death.

It was hardly off the floor to be honest.. in some games that wouldn't even be considered a foul.

The thing was

1) He won the ball
2) It was a clean tackle, nani wasn't even touched.
3) A few years ago a tackle like that would have been praised.

Fergie-ref.

What a goal by Welbeck!

 

[caLLous]

wasn't a yellow let alone a red. That was a peach from Welbeck though

Agreed, it's beyond shit how many games have been based on a refereeing decision. Game gone shit.

I am just going from the BBC "It is two-footed, he is slightly off the ground" and i remember Henry getting a red for sliding about 6 yards in front of a player with 2 feet off the ground. Its a crap rule but its a measure to stop serious injury, if they let all the clareting tackles happen just because they got the ball there is potential for worse and worse tackles.

A bit off topic but its the same shit with goalkeepers .. breathe on them and a free kick is awarded .. but it was a good tackle!

 

[Vladamir]

LoL

I think it was a bit harsh giving a Red but I can see why it might of be given.

Glory hunting cunts.. this has made going back to Chelt unbearable.. cunt force out en masse.

 

[Keitanz]

I fear this could be worse than 6-2

 

[Bahumat]

Hehe I am liking this match so far!

 

[Sydrik]

6-1 Utd 25:1 on skybet..... Hmm...

 

[Everz]

Plastics on facebook having a wankfest.

Uggh, I fucking hate plastic scum.

 

[Keitanz]

Yep, they think they are actually dominating the match and everything.. and they are laughing at people who said they are in crisis...

Laughable

 

[Everz]

That why I hate plastic, all come out of the woodwork when things are going good.

Cunts, go die in a fire.

 

[ileks]

That fucking Ladbrokes advert with the Italien bloke screaming is doing my head in

 

[Bahumat]

Yeah I hate that advert.

 

[Everz]

E-rage.

I'm going to have a shower.

 

[Ch3tan]

POol fans should be happy... Kompany out for their next game.

 

[Keitanz]

I don't think this game is over yet.

 

[Vladamir]

Not bad.

 

[Everz]

COME ON CITY

 

[Ch3tan]

Real test of city's credentials? No toure brothers and now no kompany for a few games? Csn they cope with loss of players as well as united and arsenal have this season?

 

[Everz]

City fans singing about Munich.. shock horror.

 

[Bahumat]

Credit where its due. Great free kick.

Is Joe Hart injured as well? or is he just taking a rest?
