Football

Arsenal were always going to win. Celtic always needed to score 3 goals.

It was the wrong decision but footballers dive all the time, I thought you guys would be used to it by now..

So that's ok, then? He's still a cheating little shite, and we're still allowed to point it out.

Game defining moment. Should have been sent off. 10 Arses would have lost 4-0. Scum. Cheating scum.

I thought you guys would be used to it by now..

Then you'd think the refs would too. Get him booked! It shouldn't be part of the game.

Who cares, Rangers go into the draw in Pot 2 tomorrow anyway :)

I want to see Al-Fahim speed up the building of Pompeys new ground

Erm with what ? The man's a charlatan, money made on pyramid selling. Pompey are fucked.

Of course it wasn't okay. The amount of diving/simulation that goes unpunished in football is disgusting and only encourages foul play in kids taking up the game.

I played rugby with a friend in school and he was the consummate gentleman playing with the oval ball. As soon as he stepped on a football pitch he would swear and shout at the referee and go down easily.

Anyway, I'd hazard a guess that 90% of football supporters/managers/players wouldn't give out that bile if their team won a penalty in a similar manner.

Very rarely is there a hint of fair play in football.

Pyramid selling?
I see what you did there...

It's true what they say- Football is a gentleman's sport played by thugs : Rugby is a thug's sport played by gentlemen.

The ref's been conned, AWFUL decision! Eduardo = dirty, diving, cheating cunt! Break another you fuckhead!

everton player conning ref on saturday against burnley reminder

Mogga can at last concentrate on the european championcup winners cup vase champions winners shield.

FFS he keeps saying its not a pyramid, it's an inverted triangle selling scheme!

This cheating nonsense comes down to the xenophobic inbred secret handshaking never kicked a ball cunts that govern the sport. What is the problem with setting up a panel of ex-pros to determine who's a whopper and who isn't, and then simply dish out retrospective club fines/player bans?

fuck it. let's just hand out justice ourselves.

What else you gonna do on a Saturday?
Sit in your fucking arm chair wanking off to Pop Idol?
Then try to avoid your wife's gaze as you struggle to come to terms with your sexless marriage?
Then go and spunk your wages on kebabs, fruit machines and brasses?
Fuck that for a laugh! I know what I'd rather do:

that cunt Pistanor at the bridges!

Love it!!!!

In reference to the rugby players/football players thing again..

I'm not sure I agree with the blanket statement. Not all rugby players are gentlemen as shown by various incidents of unsportsmanlike behaviour over the years (one fairly big one recently involving fake blood in order to get a player back on the pitch who was a specialist kicker). Not all footballers are thugs.

The overwhelming trends though, I do agree with. Rugby players in general have respect for the ref as there are more effective punishments. 10 minute sin-bins and pushing penalties 10 metres forward have a bigger effect than a yellow card that essentially does nothing immediate.

Perhaps a quick video referral for penalties/dubious decisions in football would help sort things like that out. Citing people for simulation after a match would be nice too.

hey, can you just remind me who your old owner was please?

The ref's been conned, AWFUL decision! Eduardo = dirty, diving, cheating cunt! Break another you fuckhead!

Although I wouldn't want him to break another leg, my feeling sorry for him bag has truly been burst, and now he's just another gooner!

Platini. That was very interesting. Amusing to see no arrests for ticket touting at Tottenham. Funny that!

Yeah, whilst you lot concentrate on Ipswich. FFS.

pyramids come from egypt and sudan not the middle east

just to do a platini on your arses

Thats the problem. Ex pro's are generally a bunch of WHOPPERS.

In reference to the rugby players/football players thing again..

well there's a lot of duplicity in scrums, and further, the ruck. clearing someone out, is just an excuse to stamp the living fuck out of someone.

It might be possible to link this to the european cup. before the game opened up to them "continentals" english football was quite physical. (hunter, souness, mark dennis i'm looking at you). meanwhile, them italians were perfecting catenaccio. stronger defences, less chances at goals, more important flash events like fouls, therefore becomes merit worthy to "cheat" (play) the referee.
obviously, exposure to this (see derby vs juve in the 70s) meant we called teams "cheats". however, as the defences tighten up (see lack of space now compared tothe rampaging acres of space then) there's more merit on cheating the ref. also, the continual spotlight on the ref as making the mistake (sky, sun i'm looking at you) means the pressure is on the ref to get stronger rather than the players to change.

of course, this is all back of the fag packet conjecture. there may be elements of truth in there, but this is probably not the right conclusion to draw.

Totally agree with you there Damo..

The only solution to stop the negativity (playing the ref and blaming him later) is to take some of the pressure off and have a video referral system. Both codes of rugby have had it for a while (as well as cricket) and it's not always correct as the fans see it but it's much more effective than leaving it up to one real-time viewing by a ref who might be in the wrong position.

What's two minutes to get the right decision? Saves hours of anger and blame later on.

ah. no. i'm sorry buddy, but i can't go with the tv ref. i think the game stands and falls on the decisions made by the referee.
the game will slow down, which isn't such a problem with games like rugby and american football and to some extent tennis. however, there then becomes the issue of the team still trying to "cheat" the referee by over riding his/her decision. if you've ever seen the level of wankery that goes into an american football coach challenging a referee's decision, you'll know what i mean.

the only place for a tv ref in association football is on the goal line.
but then, we wouldn't have a won a world cup.

but seriously. the solution is to keep the system open, and have the referees explain their decisions or hold their hands up when they're wrong. but not to be able to go back. the game stands and falls on decisions made in the match under match circumstances.

a line in the sand must be drawn.
