The True Geordie will be fun tonight.

 

[Himse]

Newcastle were absolutely dreadful.

Lock Shelvey out of the game, Newcastle RIP.

The True Geordie will be fun tonight.

Worst. Human. Ever.

Worst. Human. Ever.

Shut up he's brilliant like.

Exhibit A:

 

[caLLous]

Yay @CorNokZ

Yay @CorNokZ

We're winning the league now lads!

 

[caLLous]

Well that was a dumb challenge by Wasilewski. He basically just cost Leicester 2 points.

 

[Hawkwind]

Nice for our new striker to get a goal on his first appearance

 

[caLLous]

Ok Villa are fucked. There was a glimmer before this game, but no. Getting turned over by Liverpool has to hurt though.

He could be a top signing.

I'm not sure they stand much chance in the championship with such poor play.

 

[Scouse]

I can see why @Turamber doesn't turn up in this thread any more. Harsh, their players were awful in the second half.

 

[soze]

That Eric Dier seems like a right bully boy to me. I do not know if he is a good footballer but it looks like a Stoke player from the bad days. I would love to see Costa pull some of that shit with him.

 

[caLLous]

A strong defensive midfielder, whatever next.

 

[soze]

Lucky break for spurs that.

 

[caLLous]

The second one was class though.

 

[CorNokZ]

Messi's "missed" penalty, whew! That's just bullying tbqh

 

[soze]

Just seen the Vardy Penalty. That is some luck, how the fuck was it not a free kick outside their box for climbing. And how the fuck do strikers get a penalty when they have played the ball one way yet run the other way* just to make contact. Bullshit.

*By that I mean he made no attempt to cut towards the touch line to follow the ball he just carried on forwards towards the contact.

Defender overstretching for the ball made it an easy decision for Vardy, pop the ball right and throw the leg out to make contact. 10 secs before that should have been a free kick on Ozil for climbing when the ball was not even close. impeded the player and easy decision, somehow not made. TBH the ref had an awful game, he was not consistent at all and that is something the players hate.

 

[caLLous]

Atkinson and Clattenburg are supposedly the best 2 refs in the country and are the only 2 being used at the Euros. Clattenburg mostly had a good game but shouldn't have given that pen against Sterling (even though Sterling is a massive twat).

 

[soze]

The thing that makes that so bad is that if you are not sure you should not give it. He was unsighted and could never have seen a deliberate handball. I wonder if the commentators had it right that player influence made up his mind. Like Sanchez with his card waving. Wenger should fine that fucker.

[Scouse]

Watching it a couple of times, I actually think the ref got it right - he jumps, with his back to the ball - but he does chicken wings with his folded arms so when the ball hits his chest he knows that it's got a good chance of hitting them.

I think he's a clever dirty player who got found out tbh.

Yeah having watched MOTD2 I don't know what they're all saying when they think it hit him on the side as if it then didn't go on and hit him on the underside of his arm. Because he had his arm out (as he jumped, it's not like his arm was already out) he knew that it would hit his side and then the bottom of his arm and not get past him. It's one of those that could've gone either way. Nobody would've batted an eyelid had it not been given and presumably Sterling thought that, as it was on the ref's blind side, he wouldn't see it.

 

[soze]

I think if either of you think he thought he could get that to bounce off his ribs onto his arm you are high. Deliberate hand ball that was 100% not. 99 times out of 100 that is called accidental. Doing chicken wings when jumping is fairly normal. I still think it was harsh and the ref was unsighted which is all the proof you need to know he had no idea if it was deliberate.

 

[CorNokZ]

Arm was still in an unnatural position. You can't go flapping with your arms like that

 

[Billargh]

Finally!

 

[Scouse]

Finally!

Still too long.

Should be this:

You must have a very good relationship with the drum repair man, what with all that banging.

 

[Scouse]

You're such a humourless twat.
