England Expectorates

Another chocker weekend of sport and there's so much good stuff you could be talking about.

I could bang on about plucky Brum and their team of attractive and rational individuals like Barry Sneaky V-Sign Ferguson and Lee 'Leave Your Foot In' Bowyer. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of lads.

What do them initials stand for I wonder...

This was one of them finals when I didn't want the outsiders to nick it. Trouble was Birmingham never really looked like outsiders, did they?

They have a lot of big lads. Arsenal have a couple of centre-backs with all the permanence of a sandcastle at high tide. I got a cool fifty quid putting not much on Zigic to score the first (and only, I hoped) goal.

You could stereotype the game as Beauty v The Beast. Except on this occasion you wouldn't have Penelope Cruz playing Arsenal, you'd have Kate Hudson or some other cute dimwit lightweight who's not as good as she thinks she is.

I still think Gooners could back off Wenger. Christ knows they get more entertainment at the Emirates Library in ninety minutes than most of us get in a season. But Arsene needs a bloody solid centre-back or three and, like it or not, a midfielder who treats tippy-tappers like so many kit-kat fingers. A Yaya Toure without the flagrant self-interest.

Still, well done Brum, you ugly buggers, you earned it... and bad luck Sczeszensczennyyyeny or whatever your name is. Twas a howler of such note that your UK passport must be a matter of days away.

One might also want to praise the tie between India and England. It was edge of your toilet seat stuff. And a great fillip for a tournament that has so far resembled a contest between a runaway Eurostar and an IKEA bookshelf.

Good stuff from Steve Davis, too, who has boldly announced his homosexuality to the cricketing world. Stand by for snorts of euphemistic guffawing next time someone catches him in the gully, pulls him over the boundary, or swings it both ways.

Seriously though, it's pretty close to not being much of a big deal which shows you how far we've come. (Steady innuendo-ists).

We might also congratulate European Golf on having the top four players in the world at the mo. Except that golf is not a sport but rather, as my mate Andy Smart insists, a paid holiday in Pringle.

We might also want to praise the continentally unpopular concrete-poured-into-pillow-cases that is the England Rugby Union Team. Apparently they beat France.

I didn't follow much of it. Since they brought in them tight-fitting T-shirts and God-knows what sort of dietary enhancements most of them rugby lads look like the sort of sun-lamped brawny tossers who twenty years back used to waddle into your local bar with muscles like a rockslide and a face like a jar of sultanas.

The rugby players I grew up watching - your Phil Bennetts and Gareth Edwards - well these blokes'd use them as ear-plugs.

But instead we're left to ponder that Regurgitatable Sign Of Our Times, the Errant England Footballer. If they're not elbowing you in the face, they're bringing an air rifle to work and shooting you. Allegedly.

First Rooney. He ran past James McCarthy and elbowed him in the face. The ball was somewhere in the next postal district at the time. God knows why. Has McCarthy been sneaking round to Colleen while Wazza's down the tobacconists?

Even John Hartson says it was indefensible. That's John Hartson, a man who had to go and find Eyal Berkovic's head in the nettles after a training-ground bust-up.

Let's look at what Sir Alex Ferfuckssakuson said about the incident: 'There was nothing in it'. Gaddafi-esque in its neglect of the truth.

'I don't think the boy touched McCarthy. They are all on drugs and working for Al Qaeda if you ask me'

The Govan Beetroot added: 'The press will raise a campaign to get him hung by Tuesday or electrocuted or something like that.' Erm, that's just a twat's thing to say. Maybe the country would've liked to see the recommended dose of three games off for the petulant hairy toddler. At the very least some calpol for the stroppy little bugger.

And this is what stirs up the ABU brigade. Clattenburg's said he's happy about what happened at the DW. Rooney gets clean away with it. No fine. No ban. No nowt. Just carry on as usual. Heck he could be a frigging merchant banker, couldn't he?

Carlo Ancelotti claims there's nowt wrong with discipline at Chelsea either after Ashley Cole SHOT someone. It's been dealt with apparently. Cole has apologised. For SHOOTING someone. Given their goal-shy form of late it's to see someone's bothering to shoot.

But can you believe it?! Really?! Well yes, it's Ashley Cole. Letting of an air-rifle is as pathetically schoolboy an error he could still be defending at Arsenal. What next, Cashley? Flicking gobs of chewed-up paper at John Obi-Mikel?

I expect Cole is the first on the team bus to shout 'The one who denied it supplied it.'

'Keep smiling darlin' I've got an air-rifle pointed at your back...'
What all this leads you to is two conclusions:

1. If you play for United you could rob a train in broad daylight without a mask on and Fergie would say it was nowt and the FA would agree.

2. There's not an England player in this country who has the remotest concept of reality. I mean we could take a fiver a week out of their pockets and build an NHS hospital in every town - and that way we'd have an A&E on standby should Rooney come drop in with a munk on.

    Speaking of pies... can anyone tell me if the mansies pie and mash shops still exist in London?

    No need to apologise Rod, you are a Un**ed fan, your behaviour is expected.

    AH. We have this thing about going ahead of Un**ed.. it's like, if we do then everyone will expect us to win something, it's far better if people have a low expectation of us.

  3. Good blog Robbo. Clattenfuck is obviously on Un**ed's payroll. He should never be allowed to referee any Un**ed games and especially when played at OT.

    I have to agree with you Robbo... there is no player more deserving of receiving a winners medal than Lee Bowyer. It's been a long time coming and is richly deserved. Now he will hopefully go away and die in a shit filled gutter in Aden or somewhere equally pleasant.

  4. good blog robbo. spot on about SAF how does that cunt get away with it? its increasingly like listening to the defence council for myra hindley

    gooners have only arsene to blame. he keeps making the same bleeding obvious error...purism doesn't f-in well work v brum, stoke and the other primate lower prem teams so why bother trying .

    I bet his defenders- last seen name checked on an opticians eye chart- can do one billion keepy UPS but what use is that v a 6foot 8 east European apeman? none.

    I think he's insane. he's taken them as far as he can, he should go especially if this quadruple season ends in embarrassing quadruple failure

  5. I was surprised to hear Steve "interesting" Davis has turned gay and therefore taken up cricket but I had heard that he liked to pot the brown

    ReplyDelete
  6. Cracking blog Robbo. Was a good weekend of sport, and an odd one too. I think most people who don't support Utd would have wanted Arsenal to win the cup. I think this season will be another trophyless one for Arsene unless they can get past Utd in the FA Cup. That will of course depend on who is reffing the game. How Rooney can get away with an assault when everyone saw it is beyond me. If a rule says that if the ref saw it and took no further action, then a disciplinary panel can't do anything about it, then that rule needs changing. Especially with the level of refereeing in the Premiership. Rooney elbows a guy in the side of the head, and the next minute the ref has his arm round his shoulders and they're sharing a joke. If McCarthy had gone down in a heap and started crying like Ronaldo would have, then it would have been interesting to see what happened.

    I can't wait for Fergie to fuck off so Utd stop getting favours from refs, and certain managers start playing proper sides against them. It seems to me that managers like Allardyce and Bruce give Utd 6 points every season quite happily, and yet get stuck in to other top teams. Well it cost Fat Sam his job this season, rolling over 7-1 to Utd, and embarrassing his new owners in the process. The sooner this Fergie bum-fucking (Steve Davis reference) stops, by managers, refs, the BBC, and the FA, the better. The cock.

    Apart from that, good morning chaps and chapess.

    P.S. Anyone see a resemblance between Gadaffi and Michael Jackson? Just me then.

  7. Robbo, if you are fed up with your footballers, what say you about the US of A's "soccer players"?

  8. great stuff Robbo, shame Rooney wasn't playing in that Rugby match, he'd be out for at least 4 years on disability by now. More importantly, if he'd got sent off I'd have won the ffsl match against Spit. As an aside, Ghadaffi looks a bit like my brother after a week on the pop.

  12. What is the average IQ of the twats who, every week, feel they have somehow achieved something of note by commenting first on this blog?

    I'm guessing it's about 8, which is excusable if the figure is also commensurate with their age.

  15. Morning all.
    Rooney deserved atleast 3 match ban. But he does'nt get it. Cashley deserves being jailed, but he too escapes without punishment. Guess, they are the modern day English demi-gods; hence no body dares punish them.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I think Un**ed's next 2 games itself will tell which way the title is going. If they get 2 or less points, Arsenal will still be in with a shout. If they get 4 points, SAF will laugh his way to OT happily. But if they do manage to win all 6 points - Title race over. Un**ed will be the champions.

    ReplyDelete
  17. SS11 - If Man Utd get 4 points from the next two and then win all their games to the end of the season except the one against the Gunners and Arsenal win all their games to the end of the season, including the game against Fergie's grandads, Arsenal will be champions I think. However, I realise that both teams winning all their games to the end of the season is uunlikely, these next two Man utd games do not mean the title race is over. It wont be over until Arsenal bollox it up in the most embarrasing way ever (which, considering Sunday, will have to be pretty spectacular).

    Great blog Robbo, while i didn't see the incident becuse I missed about 65 mins of the match i think Rooney really has to curb his temper for him to be a truely great player.

    His actions were inexcusable but i dont think there is any team in the prem without a player who loses his head and gets away with it. I remember Bosingwa kicking benayoun at the corner flag and the FA did nothing. It has nothing to do with SAF, but has everything to do with the FA rule that allows it. If the FA makes a player who commits a foul, dives, simulates or commits any other infringement liable to punishmnet based on a video review, that will definitely put an end to all this nonsense.

    By the way robbo I recall Pogatetz trying to surgically remove Ronaldos neck before a corner was taken and the referree did nothing.

    Now all this nonsense about teams being hard on Arsenal should stop, they seem to forget the Lauren strangling Phil Neville episode, or the Keown and Co. bashing of Nilsterooy, or that the whole Arsenal team tried to kick Evra back to Monaco after he made the "men against boys" comment.

    Arsene should wake up, even the eternal purists Barcelona dont mind diving, conninig the referee, time wasting or scoring with the hand when it serves their purpose.

    He should just buy quality rugged english centre backs like Johnson of Birmingham and not all these namby pamby fresh faced french boys. For Christ sakes Chamakh and Bendtner could not take advantage of a centre back that was hobbling for at least 15 mins. BUY BRITISH ARSENE

    RANT OVER

    ReplyDelete
  19. BUY BRITISH?

    Why not nigerian? They'd be lot cheaper, innit?

    OR, Arsene could send his account details and they'd ship him a ship load?

  20. Ian Bell says that the England team are right behind Steve Davis.

    Spit name one decent Nigerian center half in the prem and I'll name one decent arsenal keeper in the prem.

    Wait a minute that's not right , there are no Nigerian Center halves in the prem and apparently no Arsenal keepers either.

    We'll have to call it a draw then

    to all you Gunners, I would like it to be known that unlike a certain ManU supporter on here my reaction to your losing on Sunday was not

    Lets all laugh at Arsenal, lets all laugh at Arsenal! Nah nah nah nah, HEY! Nah nah nah nah, HEY!
    Lets all laugh at Arsenal, lets all laugh at Arsenal! Nah nah nah nah, HEY! Nah nah nah nah, HEY!

    although admitedly that was Mr BHBs reaction, (mine was more of an involuntary snigger)
    so I am counting on you all to at least whisper your support for the Chavs tonight.

  24. I loved the way the Cashley incident was reported in the sports news here in Oz - just that he had shot a student, then cut to Ancelotti saying 'Who has never made a mistake in their life? Who?'

    No mention that it was just an air rifle, and not a proper gun.

    Actually as United are currently 4 points clear having played teh same number of games United would be champions by 1 point

  28. Read this late, was initally astounded to read that Steve Davis has come out, was going to make a suitably ribald comment involving Ray Reardon or somesuch, but blogdignag beat me to it.

  29. All this talk of Arsenal winning the league having manu ballsed it up is purely academic.

  31. Well, talking about cricket Bells..we're just about a week old in the world cup and alreayd 2 potential match fixing stories in the papers..one with the india fielders not appealing when strauss was caught behind twice(er..wicketkeeper taking catch, nothing like what it sounds) ....and then some Sri Lankan newspaper accusing their former captain and anotehr batsman of purposefully losing against Pakistan.

    Is there a blatter-equivalent in cricket, making sure the game is run to the ground?

  51. Congratulations Bells. Good result for your boys. A draw would have been good, from a Spurs point of view, but always a happy occasion when Utd lose. Ironic to hear Fergie complaining about decisions going against his team. Wow, it must be tough for him never getting it his way.

    MR - I know air guns can do real damage. I have been shot by one before, but it was at a distance so it just stung a bit. I was just saying how that little bit of information was completely left out of the news report, leaving it up to the viewer to decide what kind of gun it was. Until I read the BBC report, I was imagining him behind a sandbag bunker, camoflaged with branches sticking out of his beanie with a GPMG and maybe an RPG for backup, mowing down hordes of YTS kids. You can imagine my disappointment.

    ReplyDelete
  52. perfect result. ManU lost..Torres didnt score. Good day at the PL.

    On the other hand, got a beaten easily by Colch and now at risk of dropping out of the top 10 next week.

  53. Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson said he "feared the worst" when Martin Atkinson was chosen to referee his side's 2-1 defeat by Chelsea.
    =================================================

    It's a bit unfair really, I don't like to see ol' rednose upset like that. Un**ed are trying to win the title after all, Clattenfuckup should be appointed to the Un**ed match every week.

    ReplyDelete
  54. With Wes Brown partnering Smalling in central defence at Anfield, Liverpool have a great chance of taking the points this week. Then again, their defensive effort against the Hammers was bloody terrible, so they will need to improve in that area too.

    ReplyDelete
  55. As somebody mentioned earlier, if Arsenal win in from here the title is theirs.

  57. Bo,

    dontcha sweat. Manu may drop more points but arsenal wont be picking many either. RvP and Walcott are out for a min of 3 weeks and vermaelen still injured.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Vidic you cunt you ruined my week. I was on for a good score if it weren't for him.

    That said, losing 5 points for his sending off is ma small price to pay to hear Fergie wail about how a ref wasn't in his pocket/ up his arse .... hysterically funny to hear him kicking off about that.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Rooney stays on pitch, Ref's the only one with some credit.

    Luiz stays on pitch, un-fucking-believable.

  60. That maybe so Spit but as things are the the moment the PL is Arsenal's to lose... and they will most likely do that this week.

    ReplyDelete
  61. dont agree Bo,

    how can you lose summat you dont have?

    Arsenal are 4 points behind with some tough games ahead without our best players of the season out.

    dont have a prayer

    ReplyDelete
  62. They are four points behind with a game in hand and they play Un**ed at the Emirates... Un**ed have some tough games to go too.

  63. Morning all.

    So well done Chelsea. You did your job well last night to get a win. Next up is Liverpool's turn to help the cause. Having said that, Arsenal need to do it on their own if they have to win the league.

    SAF complains about Luiz not being sent-off. Agreed. But when the same being asked about Rooney's against Wigan, he said there's nothing in it at all and matter was closed when Ref booked him.

    Talk about double standards and first name that comes to my mind is Sir Alex.

  64. Bells,

  65. AH,
    I havent heard about Strauss catch not appealed story. However Dhoni was very critical of Ian Bell's LBW decision not given out even after reviewing through UDRS system.

    I hope the WC stays clean throughout, no match fixing and spot fixing bothers I would want to hear. Just sit back and enjoy high scores of 300+ in every game.

  69. Luiz looks like a quality player. Good with the ball, strong in the air and against physical players, reads the game well and has that bit of Brazilian flair to him.

  70. Daniel Sturridge has hinted he could try to make his loan move from Chelsea to Bolton permanent. The striker has scored four goals in as many league games and says he is revelling in the freedom given to him by Trotters boss Owen Coyle.
    ____________

    That would be a very smart move. Chelsea have Torres, Drogba and Anelka and he wont be getting starts to many games ahead of all three for the 2 years at least. A cut price deal where Chelsea have the first refusal on any future sale would be great for Bolton, Chelsea and Sturridge.

    KD is getting on a bit and with Almandy still a hot-cold flash in the pan, he could be playing every single game for the trotters.

  77. Morning all and what a wonderful morning it is too

    Biased aside thought we played as well as we have for a long time - not that hard admittedly - and yep, David Luiz was slightly fortuante to still be on pitch but that has to be karma.

    Rooney is starting to really irritate me with his silly celebration pose, it's like someone standing on a springboard ready to leap off, whats that name again? Oh yes, diver.

    AH, I shall return the favour and shout til I can shout no more for Liverpool on Sunday (that takes a lot for Chelsea fan to say) and hope that Arsenals season doesn't complete collapse as would much rather them win the league than ManU.

    Noel, hopefully between the 'two of us' we can squeeze Man City into fifth?

    ReplyDelete
  78. well done bells..good stuff.

    With the notable exception of adam and rod, this blog has suddenly turned into an arsenal supporters blog. Scousers cheering for the chavs, who return the favor. everyone cheering for clattenburg.

    SS - spot on mate..SAF is double standards personfied.

  79. Looking good for England at the mo - and more importantly, it's looking good for my fantasy cricket team. Strauss did ok, Trott just clocked up his 50, and Broad and Bresnan both fit and ready to take some Irish wickets. Get in.

    Bells, I'd be very happy if the two of us could squeeze City down to 5th. I think they may be starting to feel the pressure themselves, as a few weeks back they seemed a lot further ahead of us. I can't see Mancini being there next season if they finish 5th again. Spurs are starting to get some players back fit too. VDV and Huddlestone are due back this week, Bale maybe the week after.

    ReplyDelete
  80. What a fucking bastard of a result last night.

    I think Chelsea just about deserved it but Chelsea should've been down to 10 men and United started to lose their heads a bit towards the end which is a bit strange for them.

    On the whole Fergie has double standards point.... ofcourse he has. Every manager has. Ask Wenger a similar question about one of his players and he'll say he didn't see it. Fergie was ripping because year after year United get nothing at the Bridge and get all the decisions against them, be it goals being scored from free kicks that were never free kicks, goals being scored when there are fouls on defenders, hand balls in the box when the ball is blasted at a downward pointing arm.

    Unfortunately due to the unanimous amount of hatred towards united people easily forget or choose to ignore these things.

    Also, there may be a little bit of irony about the whole Luiz and Rooney thing but really they're completely different. Rooney was going to be fouled so he lifted his arm to shove the guy out've the way but I admit completely went over the top. Luiz was just a dirty fucker throwing his weight around. How a guy who should've been sent off twice gets man of the match I dunno. I'm not convinced about him yet. Lets see what people think at the end of the season.

    Rant over.

    I suspect it was beause they know their going to lose against United anyway so it was a hollow victory........................I jest of course.

    I suppose if Bendtner had of really celebrated it could of been shown to be be a lack of respect to the O's tremendous effort over 2 legs.

    A question :- Would Arsenal fans rather they won the Champions League, Premiership,this season?

    I know what Chelsea, Liverpool and Utd would want . Champions league, Qualify for next years UEFA cup and Premier League, respectively ;)

  122. MR,
    I think Wenger made it clear in his post match interview yesterday winning the league is top priority and in other competitions they are going to try hard and play usual football without being bothered about the results.

    ReplyDelete
  123. I'd rather we win the champions league for its the only one missing.

    People harp on about how its bin 6 bluddy years since we won summat but they are all fickle.

    I for one am well chuffed the way overall our team has played over that last decade and over. Sure, they could have won more had they bought more.

    says a lot about it really.

    ReplyDelete
  124. SS11,
    I didn't see the interview but anyone would say that. What kind of a signal would it send to their next opponents if he said otherwise? The media at home would jump on it to.

    The next opponents for Arsenal in the Champions league (or their media) though won't care about the statement as they have their own domestic issues to contend with.

    Anyway I did not ask what Wenger wanted I was asking what Arsenal fans would prefer? It would be a nice new addition to the rest of the admittedly dusty trophy cabinet.

    ReplyDelete
  125. Spit,
    You can work hard all day, all year and if you are paid peanuts for the efforts you put in. How would you feel when you know you deserved to earn more?

    I think same applies for Arsenal - In all previous seasons too we have been very good till Jan, Feb and challenging on all fronts and then it falls apart. So a trophy is must this season and would go as the best reward for all the good work the team has done, for Wenger who shown belief in sticking to his transfer policies.

    ReplyDelete
  126. MR,
    Personally I'd want us to win the league as well.

    ReplyDelete
  127. SS,

    sory to disappoint you but I dont think we deserve to win any competition this season. The team hasnt beeen consistent enough in the league, has lost theo, cesc and rvp to injury to be of any threat to barca, must overcome a manU team thats on the up and did not 'want' the CC as much as the burmingham players did.

    football and deserve dont mix.

    ReplyDelete
  128. It's an interseting point about injuries Spit. The over crowded fixtures list must be causing all these injuries for all the 'big' clubs but in a way it keeps them above the smaller clubs because their squad's strength and depth will never be able to compete unless they focus on one objective to be able to do so.

    And we have seen how the authorities deal with that e.g. Blackpool and Wolves.

    Different subject but still relevant is the Cricket World Cup. It's been made sure the top seeds go through by having a ridiculous top four in each group to go through so the big teams can recover from a 'blip'.

    ReplyDelete
  129. MR,

    I have mixed feelings about the minnows in the cricket world cup. On the one hand, it makes for 20 meaningless games in foremost competition in the sport. But for every 20 of those games there are a couple like ireland beating pak last time and england now..canada almost overcoming pak today etc. which must be doing a lot of cricket in those countries. Maybe reducing the number of minnow teams in the tournament might be the answer.

    ReplyDelete
  130. mr,

    re the injuries:

    thing is, all teams have injuries, such is the nature of the game, the manager must ensure there is enough quality in the squad to cover for a missing player. Arsenal's problem is that if Fabregas is injured, there is no-one in the team who can play in the similar role, Nasri may be good in attack but he comes up short when some grit is required to weather the storm while the opponent presses, Wilshire is learning at pace but if fabregas were to leave in summer the player to suffer the most will be the young jack.

    In strike force, arsenal is two different teams with or without Robin van Persie which is a shame for the dutchman has rarely played more than 20 games a season in his 6 years in north london. Again, a world class player but no adequate cover.

    In defence, Vermaelen was fantastic in finally replacing Toure (a year after he left) and he is phenominal on ground and in air given his rather avg. height. Djourou may be having a decent run but his partners in squillaci and koscelney are frankly not worthy of gracing Tony adam's boots.

    and dont get me started on keepers...

    all in all, while most take joy in how arsenal have underachieved for the last 6 years, I am pleasantly surprised at how they have over achieved in finishing each season where they have.

    still gutted at every loss, mind.

    ReplyDelete
  131. AH,
    I agreee, but these smaller teams don't get ICC funding like Test teams. Bangladesh do and I think they have only ever won two tests in their history and don't appear to be improving.

    Maybe it's time for for countries like the Netherlands and Ieland to get it?

    Spit,
    I'm completely with you, I would rather my team play like Arsenal and win nothing and play good football than play long ball and win trophies otherwise what's the point? Come on the Tangerines!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  133. Evening lady and gents, been a bit busy the last few days and after Sunday needed a break from footyblogs for a bit.

    Congrats to Brum, another keystone cop moment in our defence cost us a chance of a trophy. I had a bad feeling when I saw Rosciky in the starting XI (I would of went with Bendy) and it got worse when RvP hobbled off, but fair play to the blues who I thought were well worth the victory.

    A few bad decisions involving refs and IOU this week, how the hell did James McCarthy manage to stay on the field after blatently headbutting Wonder Wayne's elbow? The cowards at the FA also refusing to take action because the incident had already been "dealt with". Funny that, I seem to remember incidents (e.g Ben Thatcher) when punishment was later dished out, maybe I just dreamed it. Anyway, Sir F word said "there was nothing in it" so lets just leave it there shall we (FA style).

    SAF also said after the match against Chelsea;
    " I must say that, when I saw who was refereeing it, I feared the worst. You want a fair referee, you know … You want a strong referee, anyway, and we didn’t get that."

    He's not wrong, is he?
    Luiz should never of been on the pitch, it was worth a second yellow card that tackle on Shrek, but a little thing called karma reared it's ugly head and the Indebted lost.

    For those who say that ol'Beetroot is a bit of a hypocrite, well, your right, but which manager wouldn't be? Wenger would indeed do the same as would any other manager worth his salt, it's just the way it is. What will be interesting to see is if the FA let him get away with making that comment. I understand that they're not to keen on the integrity of their refs being brought into question, this is afterall a public statement and not just hearsay, time will tell.

    As for Cashley Hole shooting an intern? Well? You just can't make this shit up, could ya? Was he aiming for John Terry? I suppose we could forgive him for that.

    AH - maybe it's time the FA sorted out the standard of their refs and sacked a few as Martin Atkinson was absolutely awful. remember when Stuart Atwell gave a goal for Readimng against Watford when it had gone for a goal kick and then there was a Crystal Palace game when Freddie Sears scored the ball hit the stantion at the back of the goal and came back out of the net and he gave a goal kick.

    Until refs get it right there will be criticism. I'd like to see the NFL system where they explain their decisions to teh crowd immediately after they are given

  147. I reckon I might be with Adam on this, in a way. Why not like rugby? Where you can hear the referee talking to other officials and players.

    The only reason they might not do it, is that the mic would pick up the foul verbal abuse by players they get. Personally I think if a player swears within hearing distance of the ref, it's a yellow and if they do it again their off.

    The only reason I imagine septic bladder wants to keep video replays out is that it would be a lot harder to fix matches. Why else would you be against correct informed decisions being made?

    ReplyDelete
  148. If it was like rugby then that would be ok MR, and may even stop the players hurling abuse at the refs if it would be picked up by the mic. But like NFL, where EVERY foul is called while the game stands still? That would slow the game up too much.

    Imagine this hypothetical scenario: Man Utd are playing, let's say Wigan Athletic. Two players come together, perhaps for this example Wayne Rooney and James McCarthy. Wigan have broken up Utds attack and are breaking quickly themselves when Mr Rooney assaults Mr McCarthy with his elbow. The ref awards a freekick to Wigan. McCarthy somehow stays on his feet and wants to take the freekick quickly while they still have Utd on the back foot. But instead, the game has to come to a halt while Mr Clattenburg tells the world 'Foul. Utd player. Number 10. Illegal use of the elbow.' By which time, all the Utd defence is back in position and the chance has gone, plus everyone would wonder why a freekick has been given for an elbow to the head, but no card was produced.

    ReplyDelete
  149. Well Noel your fights of fantasy are extroadinary, if you are going to come out with such ridiculous scenarios, I just don't know if we can have a serious discussion.

    ReplyDelete
  151. There are so many sports that utilise technology well, and it has improved their games. FIFA saying that it would slow the game up is bullshit. Some methods would, as outlined above, but there has to be some combination of other sports' policies, or even just the same policies that would work well with football. The referral system in tennis and cricket I think has improved those games. Rugby has tv replays to confirm suspect points (ball over the line etc.). You'll never erradicate all errors, but just help the refs by taking some pressure off them. If each manager had a referral each half, and used it, then they can't challenge another decision, so it's up to them to only challenge the important ones.

    "This year we said, 'Look, they are fantastic and if we lose to them it will be normal because they are the best team in the world.' So there was no pressure on us and we played our normal game and showed everyone we can beat them and be at their level.”

    About progressing:-
    "If we beat Barcelona, I would love to play one of the other London clubs in the final and I want Arsenal to be the first club from London to win the Champions League.

    "But my dream would be to play against Marseille in the quarterfinals, then Tottenham in the semifinals, then Chelsea in the final," he added.
