lol I hope this is not true.

I'm thoroughly sick of this shit now. When you think of the time and resources wasted on this utterly trivial shite, it's fucking heartbreaking.

He's trolling. Everton are a fine side.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Arsenal have only conceded 1 second half goal in the Premier League all season (v Chelsea).

 

[Scouse]

Police are apparently investigating Clattenburg because of the Society of Black Lawyers complaint.

I wonder if it's possible to complain to police that the Society of Black Lawyers is a racist organisation?

Edit: Moving discussion to another thread

Got to love that for the first time in a long while Chelsea are winning plaudits for the great football we're playing, but then we still have to ruin it by having a shower of cunts undo all the good work we're doing. So tired of it, I just want to support my club. Terry can do one and so can whoever dreamt up this scheme to slander Clattenburg if it turns out - as it most likely will - to be untrue. Ugh.

Yes. They're human. So the fuck what?

"People" don't (or haven't) looked for remedies for this. Only in the UK is it obsessed over - and that's because the media (who have a vested interest) have managed to whip up a storm over it.

It was bound to happen when football became a 24/7 obsessed-over money-driven freak-show like it is today. Every tiny facet of the game scrutinised more closely than ever before. Increasingly good televisual technology spinning around 3d-mock-up's of each player, tracking their moves, dives, clips, onsides, offsides, yadda yadda yadda.

The only people who really lose out from bad refereeing decisions are the super-rich club-owners who are horrified if they don't make it into the £60-million spunkathon that is the Champions League - and they blame the ref's for their teams shortcomings because they're losing cash.

Why should we give a single fuck about these people? They're still laughing all the way to the bank and always will be, whilst charging outrageous ticket prices. I'm not willing to give up the comedy-soul of the game, the maradonnas, the banter in the pub over harsh decisions, the argument, the debate, the fun of the game - just so they can feel secure that they're not losing their cash "unfairly".

Typical Scouse, as I said it is the feeling that nothing happens when they make such mistakes that is making the whole situation worse and while they are only human I know of few who wouldn't get in to trouble for such fundamental mistakes in work.

As for the racism thing, well we will have to wait and see what the actual result is once the various bodies report on the matter.

Exactly.

I just want them to get on with playing football, not fucking about being bitches.

Toilet goalkeeper, your argument is invalid.

 

[Scouse]

When your work is a game of this nature the mistakes are inevitable and only exposed through TV replay - otherwise there wouldn't be an issue at all...

 

[soze]

Arsenal 3-0 down in 20 minutes!

 

[Ch3tan]

Ahh man, I haven't laughed so hard in a while... after a shit day at work due to this stupid storm in the US, and still having to do hourly conference calls... This is brilliant

 

[caLLous]

Rofl it's 4.

 

[soze]

We are fucking pony. This will take one hell of a team talk to sort out.

 

[soze]

They could of had 2 goals and 2 penalty's in 5 minutes.

 

[megadave]

whats a Gnabry?

 

[soze]

Really impressed with Giroud so far totally exposes Shamack as not being good enough for the shirt.

 

[Vladamir]

Squeeky bum time!

 

[Shagrat]

Boro beat Sunderland hahahahaha

 

[soze]

Fuck you time wasting bites you in the arse cunts

 

[Billargh]

Wow, goal in 95 minutes with only 4 minutes added on.

 

[soze]

Wow, goal in 95 minutes with only 4 minutes added on.

There was a substitution and plenty of time wasting they have themselves to blame.

 

[Billargh]

The substitution was fast and as far as I know, 'time wasting' is a legitimate tactic

 

[soze]

The substitution was fast and as far as I know, 'time wasting' is a legitimate tactic

Substitution equals 30 seconds and yeah but the ref can add time so I call it justice.

 

[megadave]

lol this is obviously not real

 

[Billargh]

Hush man soze, I just wanted to see the underdog win. Cracking game regardless!

 

[gunner440]

omfg chamakh

 

[Shagrat]

lol i wonder what the odds of an arsenal win were when they were 4-1 down.

 

[soze]

Hush man soze, I just wanted to see the underdog win. Cracking game regardless!

I feel sorry for them tbh both teams should of had a penalty but there's would make it 5-1 and all over. Its unlucky.

 

[Billargh]

POGREBNYAK!
