Soda Jerk Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Best thing about that picture is all black boots. No white or neon yellow and orange ballet shoes. Big blocky Preddys. FOOTBALL!What the picture doesn't show is how far Stam ran to get to him, and how he kept hassling him after that. Can't remember what the decision was for. Might have been for a throw-in on the half way line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milner Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Its more Keano, can you imagine how scary that would have been having him scream down your throat right in front of your nose.Is that Butt there as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaki Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 So i see the dazler has been told he can leave at the season.As sad as this is, it feels like the right thing to do. I love you reading champ, I'm just not in love with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 That's Butt. Butt was a bastard. He was so good in his prime. Severely underrated.Becks looks to be stepping in going "hey, fellas... fellas... easy now!" because he's a gent. Best guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milner Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 yeah it prob should have happened a few years ago to be honest, you could never ever fault his desire for the club, but he is just rubbish, he must be one of the luckiest ever players.

Soda Jerk Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Amazing video. He got so bad so quickly. Just like Alan Smith (suxx you had both of them in the team, at the same time). Both were awesome in their peaks. Butt especially. There's no Youtube montage of his best moments, so maybe he wasn't good. I thought all sort of, kinda competent players had a Youtube montage? Even Gabriel Obertan has a fucking montage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 He's lost the plot a bit over the past few weeks, with the "injury crisis" and then getting pissy about Rooney's hand gesture (which was 2 fingers, not a card wave) yet it's okay for him to do it on the sidelines two weeks in a row.You know what's gonna happen the day before the game against United at Eastlands, 3rd to last week of the season - It'll be words along the lines of "I'd love it if we beat them. Love it!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ca_gere Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Chelsea game has been shit. Norwich have defended well but Chelsea have been poor. What happened to the team that'd go up 2 or 3 by half time? I'm beginning to change my mind about AVB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murrr Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Card-waving is wenk, but I can definitely see where Mancini is coming from. Hand gestures are a huge part of communication in Italy. I've just started learning Italian, and one of the first things I was told to do was learn some hand gestures as they are universally-known and negate the need to grasp region-specific colloquialisms. Italian conversations are very animated, and you could probably go to Italy without knowing a word of the language and still get-by okay just by using your hands. For Mancini, card-waving is probably instinctive.Not that I like it (card-waving is one of the most childish, wankerish things a grown man can do on a football pitch), but I can cut Mancini some slack in this situation.

Soda Jerk Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 It happens, and it's never going to go away, but he comes across as a bit of a mental if he has a huge rant about Rooney doing it to get Kompany sent off (which he actually didn't, but that's besides the point) but he goes and does it only a week later, and then defends his right to do it.

-matthEw- Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 I have absolutely no problem with Mancini making a card gesture. None.Almost agreed. I don't see why on earth this seems one of the great taboos in British football. It's no worse (but certainly not any better) than Rooney pointing out to the ref that Kompany went in two footed. Or any player screaming in the ref's face for a card. Or running 70 yards to get involved.Players hounding the ref and trying to get other players sent off IS a problem in the game, and something I hate seeing, but it's absolutely bizarre how an imaginary card-wave gets treated over here. When Mancini first did it (I haven't seen this 2nd one) the two commentators were saying "that is truly dreadful, I'm sure Mancini will be hugely sorry for this and deliver an apology in his post-match interview". And it was the first question posed to him in the interview and he just shrugged it off. Ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Exactly, it's the hypocrisy of (some) people who complain about it that annoys me. Players, managers and fans are always communicating exactly the same thing but they do it through angry shouting rather than a hand gesture but for some reason British fans and media see the hand gesture as 10 times worse. It just doesn't make sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 I complain about it because I hate foreigners.LOLNo really, all dissent is awful, but I think the fake hand gesture is complained about more because it is more visible, whereas you can't really see exactly what a player is saying to the referee. Any act of trying to influence the referee should be punished. Referees were instructed to bring the hammer down on dissent, but very few ever do. As with diving, if there were harsher punishments, less players and managers would continue to break the laws of the game which referees are too soft to clamp down on. The referees in rugby league are hard as nails and don't take any shit from anyone, and when they do, they are sin binned or told where to go. Dissent has minimised in the game due to referees having zero tolerance from players being gobshites. If that could transfer to football, the game would benefit, but referees are soft.I blame Liverpool. Not sure exactly why, but it must be their fault. Fucking horrid cunts.
