*Official* English Football Season 2009-2010

Not me, never said it wasn't one. Said on numerous occasions that it touched his arm which to my knowledge is classed as a handball. But also have noted that when it's short distance and a fast ball that I've seen refs concede that it wasn't avoidable or something along those kind of lines and not give handballs. I think that's about the right distance for such a thing.

He used his arm!!!!!!!!!!!

Look - it counted and that's the way it goes. Man the **** up and admit it shouldn't have stood. All of our goals last night were questionable, who gives a ****, they counted and that's that. Sitting there in blind denial just exemplifies why everyone hates United. Because for every decent United fan there's a one-eyed supporter refusing to accept his team could ever be second-best or benefit from a bad refe

(edit, this was to Rose)

I know this post was targeted at Rose, but it should be noted that in my experience, everyone is at least slightly biased and every club has those kind of fans. I think United are hated most because there are so many fans out there that the fans that are biased beyond the point of reason are more numerous as well.

EDIT: Every time I come back to this thread thinking "I'll just read this time, I won't reply..." Haha.

Nwankwo Kanu playing like a 50 y/o here

This basically. Hardly comparable to the rubbish that was the Drogba goal.

Ahhh, there's nothing quite like manure whining about decisions. makes the irony-meter go off the boil, but there ya go

Anyway Swindon humiliating Leeds. Not a surprise, Swindon are a better team from what I've seen this season. Just a shame that our one live game this season will be against them

Avram Grant looks (appearance wise) the perfect coach for a team in Pompey's plight.

Absolutely no chance that either of the goals should have stood, so who cares if Drogba's was an easier call. If a player handles it on the way into the net, it shouldn't count, fairly simple really. I'm astounded that this is being debated, even by the standards set sometimes in this thread.

And yeah, all fans are biased, nobody is more biased than me. There is a difference between being biased and deluded - to hark back to the wondergoal I've been going on about all day - I didn't not celebrate the Hand of Craig, in spite of the fact that I couldn't understand why it was allowed to stand. It's fair to say I'm delighted it stood. But should it have? No.

Gillingham one down. Means Oldham are one up, but reckon they'll be set anyway, so Gillingham losing is probably good news for us

Also, Leeds are three down at home to Swindle, slightly ominous given that we go to Swindon on Monday

And Darren Bent has missed two penalties

 

[cpr]

Haven't seen the game, therefore not commenting, though we sounded gash on the radio

Anyone watching Soccer Saturday, Kamara on absolute form

 

[GIMH]

Haha, yes - unaware as to whether anyone had been sent off -

 

[cpr]

'I saw him walking off, thought he'd been subbed!!'

Brilliant.

 

[grecian]

That was a shocking challenge, sorry anyone that thinks teams don't try to rough up Arsenal are delusional.

 

[GIMH]

What happened?

 

[grecian]

What happened?

Went right through Rosicky from behind. ooh err,

 

[Scaly piscine]

Bloody useless Spurs getting dominated by a side who've managed about half a point in the past 3-4 months, stop giving that bearded buffoon a chance of fourth.

 

[duffer]

It's okay, I concede the title. Depressing.

edit: No I don't.

 

[social]

Grrrrr

So sick of Arsenal's ****ing whinging

 

[duffer]

Literally 15 seconds after I posted that we scored. I'm taking credit for it tbh.

 

[cpr]

Soccer Saturday lot suggest it was a shocking card, not tackle. Studs down, along the floor, Rosicky rolling like he'd been snipered. Very much criticized Arsenal players for surrounding the ref demanding a red.....


Obv not seen myself, but the experts all seem to disagree

Showtime saying the same thing

Thought it looked pretty bad myself

 

[duffer]

Flew through him from behind right in the calves, got nowhere near the ball. They showed the ridiculous bruise on Rosicky's calf afterwards. He's not that kind of player though.

Well, I saw it, thought it was poor, couldn't get the ball and wanted to cause damage. A man U fan complaining about players surrounding the ref, more irony then I can assimilate TBH.
