Ah, yanks.

So easily led, next they'll have Trump as president, what? oh.

Some idiots about

Self praise is no praise.

Late on in the Accrington/Derby game earlier today, a Derby player pulled back an Accrington player who would have had a one on one with the keeper.He subsequently got sent off, but Mcminimum was giving him praise for committing the foul. Now, if that was Dinho....

[hello]

Did they really send that to var though? I only walked into pub for last 10 mins and was at the bar so couldn’t hear, but it did look like it was a var referral despite stevie wonder seeing it clear as day

Our match report in the DT today: Ducker, the silly Rag Correspondent of the Northern RDAHMeedya manages to weave MANUre into the miserable number of inches we were granted. I didn't, shouldn't and wouldn't read the Arse v MANUre report yesterday but I suspect that we didn't get a mention amid the euphoria!

Was it similar to the luiz on sergio incidemt overseen by taylor a few years back? No sending off for luiz..
Didnt see yesterdays game but i understand the Accrington boss was absolutely fuming..who was in charge...none other than gangster betting -syndicates puppet..John Moss..one of the prems elite refs called in to oversee a cup tie which prob had its result known,pre k.o. in the betting markets

Steve mcmanaman,as a lot of pundits do,was prob so relieved accrington didnt score as he had lumped on after a tip off.

Disgusting disease at the heart of our game,more amd more folk are waking up to it,but still nothing gets done.nothing.

There are,astonishingly ..still plenty of folk who didnt blink an eyelid when Leicester City won the prem by ten clear points,winning ten more penalties than any other team,what a fantastic return on the 5000/1 gamble...anyone can see what happened there-you dont get ten more penalties than any other team when you hardly have any possession!! Media coverage nil.analytical debate by pundits..none,questioning of refs performances that season..none..
Whats changed since The Great 5000/1 Thailand Swindle..?......nowt.

 

[Marvin]

Would you believe no Match Report in the Observer!!!! There is one online but not in their paper.

Two Premier League clubs. Biggest crowd of the day. 5 goals.

Do you remember the foul on Aguero at their ground? Clear as day, defender goes through him from the wrong side and doesn't even get a touch on the ball? No penalty..play on. More obvious than Sterling's the other week.

Here in America (and a few other places they dominate the sport broadcast market), yes, unfortunately, especially for “casual” fans which, for better or worse, the club understandably want to convert.

Edit: And this “evil empire” portrayal is especially effective as a negative angle in America based on the culture here skewing heavily to the ‘underdog’ when you have no established affinity.

So easily led, next they'll have Trump as president, what? oh.

Just tell them it’s fake news - it seems to work for Trump!

He was fuming......but without a great deal of justification in my opinion. There were 4 “controversial” decisions in the game and I would have made exactly the same calls Fatty Moss did on all 4 of them. The first was a yellow card for Accrington’s Barlaser right at the start of the game for a studs showing, scissor tackle lunge, that could easily have been a red, the second (and the most controversial) was another yellow for the same player, again leaping in with both feet off the floor, but which he turned into a block tackle rather than a studs up one, but unfortunately missed the ball, the third was for one of those ‘hook a foot round’, tackles from behind, which took the ball, but clipped the Derby player’s calf in the process and brought him down (call was a 50:50 one, and definitely not one which Moss could be justifiably pilloried for, but inevitably the resultant free kick led to a corner from which Derby then scored), and the fourth was a straight red for a Derby player for a professional foul, which Moss correctly called as having been made just outside the box.
The Accrington manager may have been disappointed, but honestly his tirade about Moss after the game was frankly pathetic

It was a shambles wasn't it? I mean even if you somehow missed that voice of his that scratched my chalkboard you could tell he's from Liverpool with the way he tried to portray himself.

Although seeing as this is the media thread I ask, could you imagine if Pep said something like that? I can already picture the likes of Mark Ogden and Jamie Paradiso exploding with excitement.

Pretty much what I saw.
For the Accrington sending off, the first one was for the scissoring of the back foot - a pretty bad challeng, and the second he was off the ground, missed the ball and clattered him with the shin.
The Derby sending off was unarguable and also correct.

I see the Daily Mail is running with an article that Milwall and Everton players did not wear black armbands as a sign of respect to the family of the Cardiff player who is missing.

Interestingly in the header for the article there is one player from the weekend matches shown to be wearing a black armband is a City player. Yet all clubs earlier in the day wore them.

It was clearly stated on BBC that this was a deliberate decison at Sala's family's request, as he isn't confirmed dead.

Yeah, get that and understand that.

What I thought was interesting was the choice of club/player wearing the armband to go with the thread title that Millwall and Everton were showing respect in not wearing it. They could have chosen anyone of the other clubs?

Maybe I am being too sensitive, but the choice of City as the opposite was what I thought was interesting.

Yep, sorry, misinterpreted/misread your last.

I don't think it's a big thing really, with no editorial applied.

We were comfortably the most high profile team and most high profile game, with it being 2 PL clubs.

Nothing more than that.

He's a scouser. It's always someone else's fault...

Do i remember it?? Yes.it was the last time i saw City play live.only broke my self imposed exile to nip to WHU last month after the passing of an old Hammer mate.
I saw Taylor run across to the incident from my seat in the south stand level 2,watched him put his whistle to his mouth,reach for his top pocket...and then start talking into his mike/mouthpeice...the central governing body who i think runs football now(hidden away at the nerve centre of power) had instructed him to take a different course of action.
And he did....so did i.i gave up 30 yrs of watching City home and away.

Cheers for that.will hv a look at highlights ...i did think the manager saying the ref cost us 250k was a bit ill advised....
