Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [22nd - 28th December 2017]

Seriously, Madley needs stabbing or something to get him out of football. Bournemouth were 2-1 up till Arnautovic nicked a goal when Begovic slipped in heavy rain where you'd expect basically no danger normally.

West Ham take the lead then Bournemouth score an equaliser at the end... except it was offside, it was a handball and the linesman flagged to disallow it for one or both of those things and after talking to him Madley allowed it anyway, absolute and complete madness. Genuinely shocking decision, the linesman tells you it's offside, handball or both and flags and he still gives it.

Also Bournemouth player basically studded West Ham player in the face, quite similar to the Mane one, not really intentional but crazy dangerous and catches the player yet only gave him a yellow card. I was under the impression from the few bits I saw that Bournemouth were the better team but definitely deserved a red and absolutely robbed West Ham with that decision at the end.
 
Lingard scored twice after i said he was rubbish, i feel responsible for that...sorry.

The high boot debate rears its head again i see
Francis with a high boot vs West Ham, very similar to Mane.

Yellow card.

Why?
 
Sounds like the Bournemouth/West Ham game was brilliant. End-to-end, chances galore, controversial (OK not controversial, just wrong on 2 levels) late equaliser. Game of the season contender judging from the radio.

First clip really just there to show that the linesman flagged for it and the ref went over to talk about it before allowing it. Second shows that it's offside, though to be fair it's a very tight offside, but shows the ball changing direction due to brushing his arm. I don't know what the linesman gave the flag for but he had a clear view and Madley is absurd for overruling him, no way he could tell if it was offside from his view and the handball as well.

Been plenty of time wasting from Burnley and a few injuries etc.

Anyway, FT 2-2.

As good as a loss really, absolutely awful yet again.

Yep, not great is it. I cannot see why Jose thought it was a good idea to start with Ibra. The guy is clearly "gone" in terms o playing at this level. We ended up with two donkeys up front instead of just Lukaku. Ever since they stopped singin about hi foot of coq the guy has been really bad. I'd drop him. We aren't getting much out of Rashford either with him on the left. I'm not a huge Lingard fan but he's currently our best player!!!

Our form is shockingly bad and there is no sign of it improving. Fair play to Burnley - they did very well and the goalie was inspired.
 
An exhilarating 0-0 draw at the Hawthorns.

West Brom v Everton always promised to be a cracker and WOW did they deliver on that.

I'm sure those kids who opened their Christmas presents to find a ticket to this game were over the moon.
