Talksport now (continued)

[daztrueblue91]

The only explanation I can think of as to why we seem to receive a lot new yellows than our opponents is because of the pace we play at.

Because we play such a slow possession based games, most of the fouls on us just appear soft. By contrast, with the opposition playing to counter and coming at us with pace, most of out fouls appear cynical.

I do feel sorry for Yaya though. You look at the game yesterday and he got penalised for being a big unit. He has a brief tangle with a smaller player and gets booked and then gets fouled and people think he dived. All I will say is that if that was Hazard or Willian going down from a challenge that was identical to the Ivanovic foul on Yaya then it would have been a stonewall penalty.

Christ i agree with stan,there are some right knobs on social media and forums

 

[Kirkstall Blue]

Yes a good debate and worth a listen makes you think how difficult it is now to voice an opinion on twitter and forums.that isn't a majority veiw.

And we're off...
The utd propaganda machine kicks into life...
Luckily for them Liverpool are doing shite also so they're taking a bit of the heat off them.
Still it's funny as fuck how they're papering over the huge cracks still appearing at delusional fc.

Durhams show was the same,comparing dippers and rags to dilute the discussion on the rags,so so obvious

 

[manimanc]

Well fuck me sideways, somebody please explain to me how utd getting battered 5-3 by Leicester has suddenly developed into a gerrard/Liverpool ldebate...
Unbelievable.

Unbelievable.

By the same token although we didn't play well we lost 1-0 in Munich and were a disgrace.

We had all this rubbish and head in the sand stuff last year with Moyes. Eventually they'll turn on Mutant but he'll get masses of time with no media pressure first.

Brazil already had his Barkley digs in....... 'preparing a massive bid' 'will we be ruining another young English player'?

To compare and contrast.....

Munich 1 (90th min) City 0 ..... City were embarrassing according to Durham

West Ham 3 Bindippers 1
Leicester 5 Rags 3 ...... Bindippers have big problems..

Take at with a pinch of salt lads...they are either thick as fk (Gough/Brazil), or wums...(Durham)

Durham on fire. City tried to kick Chelsea off the park


His wummery is just astonishing

He's good at it.
The real point is that it is not possible to be a 'dirty' team any more and kick teams off the park as in the good old days. You just end up with getting players sent off or in the case off Zab you get players sent off for two minor infringements.
What we have to learn is to 'foul' less obviously (particularly in Europe) and not give the referee a decision to make. Vinny is a culprit in this respect with his bodychecking.
Other teams have wised up to this and are a lot more subtle in their fouling.
We have to learn to do the same quickly.
