Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [7th - 12th February 2014]

That penalty claim there is why my love of football has seriosuly dwindled to the point of I hardly care. I know a lot of my friends have turned from football to rugby as they're sick of all this no contact, simulation BS.

The Everton player should be booked imho, he had no intention of doing anything but going down. Nick the ball first and then take a touch and fall over. Sad thing is it's now accepted as normal and it's cheating in my eyes.

Not just aimed at him, it's aimed at the whole culture of football now. A player should be able to touch another player without him falling over?!

The spurs player stuck a leg out, don't moan at Coleman, moan at your lad.

Would have preferred a draw but a Spurs win was 2nd prize.

Harsh on Everton but having a striker made the difference for Spurs.

Agree 100%. I'm not sure what his fitness was like but I was shocked Traore didn't come on.

He was already looking at the floor before the leg came out. And even that wasn't enough to send him crashing down like he'd just been hit with a 50cal.

You've agreed with me two or three times this weekend, good to see you've finally come to your senses and realised I'm right more often than not

He still stuck his leg out. I think Coleman might have been falling before anyway but still, don't stick your leg out like that in the box...

Err why?

Everything they did was better than what we did in general play. Better movement, better passing and ball retention. We didn't look like scoring at all until Walker got clever and Manu nailed the execution.

The goal was the first shot we had got on target.

Our retention was awful, we got pressed off the pitch and created nothing.

I don't think Traore is fully fit, probably shouldnt even be on the bench..

Don't stick your leg out in the box? So basically don't make any attempt at a tackle or a penalty might be awarded?

wow.

Ditto. He is our poor man's Aguero.

66 posts in this thread alone. Agreeing with you 2 or 3 times shows you're still rarely right.

Oh shutup Carragher you numpty.

 

[BaZ87]

He's on the way down before any contact, no pen for me. Had he stayed on his feet up until the contact then fair enough, it would have been a pen.

 

[[TW]Sponge]

Apparently Defoe in tears after doing a lap of honour.

Will miss that man

Yeah, I imagine he'll miss his seat on the bench.

Don't worry Fulham fans, Rene knows the pitch well.

Oh behave lad. You know exactly what I'm getting at.

We're just going to be crossing it into the box, playing it to the full back and 'getting to the byline' again then it seems.

Pretty fed up with it, it doesn't work week in week out and that's proven by our lack of goals, chances and the most crosses per game in the league, yet all of our best players are best through the middle.

GG Moyes.

Mick Hucknall looks hideous nowadays!
