Weekend Football Thread 23-26 *spoilers*

The free kick was just a total referee'ing blunder, an error. Arsenal can't be blamed for that. Arsenal can however be blamed for carrying on with Mannone in goal, no idea what he was trying from that free kick, poor judgement.

I'n particulary trying to blame anyone.

All I was pointing out was that it was a shoddy performance by Arsenal.

He has a point tbh, even my Liverpool 'friends' said the ref was shocking.

he was shocking but not biased which is what is being suggested

Has Fergie come out and suggested he was biased then?

If not you can't really pull him over the coals for saying the ref was shocking, he was.

 

[Rotty]

ha has said that he was influenced by the home crowd which can only mean that he favoured one team

 

[G|mp]

In that case he should be flogged and banned from the touchline for 4 matches.

And Evra.

I don't understand why Fergie is moaning about the Carragher and Vidic rugby tackles either, at least the ref was consistent in giving them both yellows for what was pretty much the same offence.

I think it was more the fact that they should have both been given straight reds as they were the last men.

[JohnnyG]

There just ain't no pleasing some people

"That decision cost us the game. We've said it time and time again, all we want is consistency."

 

[G|mp]

So we should ignore the rules in favour of consistency?

 

[Rotty]

Vidic should have had about 5 yellow cards

Agree Carra decision could have gone either way

Would have been interesting to see what would have happened if Torres had gone down as he ran through to score, Ferdinand was pulling back and had arms all over him, would have been penalty and red card

the ref was consistent


consistently ****
both teams had bad decsions against them, maybe Carra should have gone, maybe Vidic should have gone much earlier

nice domain name

It matters nothing anyway, Fergie will escape punishment because of who he is.

Liverpool will continue with their mediocre season, Chelsea will continue to paper over the cracks and Arsenal will continue to be shoddy.

And moderators will continue to be able to swear in threads without fear of reprisal (he says coming back from yet another stupid ban)

Just seen Dermot Gallagher on SSN and he's said the ref got all the key decisions spot on

He said because Owen wasn't in control of the ball, he was running away from goal and because of how close Johnson was, it was only worthy of a yellow.

What, you mean a referee is defending a referee?

Fancy that!

 

[G|mp]

Dermot Gallagher \o/

I put him in the same bracket as Jeff Winter, the "you were cack when you were a ref, nowadays you really should STFU"

 

[BaZ87]

All he said was he got the key decisions right, he got more or less everything else wrong imo

It's like anything else though isn't it. Ferguson is the last to complain when decisions go his way, consistent or otherwise.

Indeed, like every other manager, your point?
