Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [2nd - 7th December 2011]

[Adrianr]

What issue did you have with van der Vaart?

More importantly how did you work around it? Looks pretty much the same as last season to me? Now you've just got a striker in Adebayor who is actually useful, rather than VDV relying solely on knock downs from beanpole.

 

[Purdy]

If the foul continues into the box then it's a penalty.

Then I am wrong, the referee can **** off down to some **** league, infact even they don't deserve that level of performance.

 

[Yozz76]

Foul on Adam started outside the box, even i as a biased ******* can see that one.

Guess I even more of a biased ******* .

 

[Alpherah]

Any other a team you'd agree it was a red.
Why wouldn't Fulham end with 11 men? No red card worthy fouls, or anything - Senderos was out the box, and not last man. Apart from Dempsey, yeah possibly that one
Suarez was offside.

Oh yeah ... Dempsey

 

[syke]

If the foul continues into the box then it's a penalty. It did continue into the box so was a penalty.

He more ran into the box to fall in there more than anything, I didn't think it was a penalty but was expecting the ref to give it!

 

[BaZ87]

Suarez was offside.

Hangeland played him onside.

Foul continued to inside the box.

 

[Tom84]

WHat a ****ing ******** red card that was, and the fact we didn't get a penalty for a blatent ****ing obstruction on suarez was a joke

what was it that you found so funny the other day.... Oh yeah this was it....

Is that a violin i hear in the distance

 

[Adrianr]

Hangeland played him onside.

Definitely? I only saw one replay of it and it didn't look that certain to me.

 

[syke]

Hangeland played him onside.

Half of Suarez was offside when I saw it, anything you can play the ball with and all that. I think Kelly might've been able to stop it anyway, after he looped it towards goal Kelly just stopped after the whistle.

 

[Mark1989]

Gary the card is Orange lolz

 

[BaZ87]

Definitely? I only saw one replay of it and it didn't look that certain to me.

At worst he was level but looked on to me.

 

[syke]

Replays of the red, definite red imo nowadays - off the ground with both feet following through.

Fair enough, hopefully they'll cover it on the post match.

 

[Purdy]

Replays of the red, definite red imo nowadays - off the ground with both feet following through.

How do you stop yourself following through with a slide tackle?
Other foot was dragging, and he made contact with one foot and got the ball, not even close to a red.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Fulham scored, we didn't. We can make up as many excuses as we want but it won't hide the fact we've spent a lot of money and should be winning these games without having to rely on refereeing decisions.

Wholesale changes needed in January starting with Carroll and Downing being shown the door.

 

[syke]

How do you stop yourself following through with a slide tackle?
Other foot was dragging, and he made contact with one foot and got the ball, not even close to a red.

One foot dragging? Both feet were in the air with flat feet! I understand the follow through with a folded leg, but he had both feet with studs showing. Oh well, important 3pts, ref obviously is a Fulham fan

 

[xxalxx]

Worth a red?

 

[BaZ87]

Replays of the red, definite red imo nowadays - off the ground with both feet following through.

He's made the tackled side-footed and his momentum has brought his feet off the ground. He didn't jump in 2 footed on the player.

 

[andi]

Wierd listening to Gary Neville defending Liverpool isn't it

I disagree with him on the red though, thats reckless for me, and deserved a red.
