Paranoid Android Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 I had to miss the second half. Was it really that bad? Such a shame, a Torres double setting up a grandstand finish would have been great for his confidence. Now it could be even worse, despite getting a goal.

Soda Jerk Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 The miss was bad, but the second half was pretty incredible. Awful defending and wastefulness upfront from both teams. Cole should have been off for being a dangerous little cunt. Good to see Hernandez being able to walk away, just about, despite being smashed into by a two footed lunge off the ground. Horrid. Cole later clattered into his own post. Karma should have smashed his kneecaps. Prick.Chelsea are in desperate need of an in-form striker. They just seem to have a heap of players who can create, but no one who can score goals on a regular basis. I'd like to see Sturridge be played more centrally. Hopefully he won't be wasted as a makeshift winger like Theo Walcott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 The way Evans gives up there is unforgivable. He's not been taken completely out of the equation, but he gives up before Torres even gets control. He's a strange lad. He could be awesome, but he prevents awesomeness by being a knob sometimes.

Soda Jerk Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 I didn't see the game. Why was Ronaldo on the bench? Ronaldo should never be benched. Bad for morale. He won't be happy with it, and he will kick stuff. Bad move Jose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Yeah, looks like he's just coming back from a bruised ego, AM I RIGHT, GUYS?!I thought Aberdeen were pretty good at the weekend. Osbourne was outstanding, but that keeper Brown was fucking awful. He's overweight. Aye, not as in, he's stocky or anything, he just looks unfit and out of shape. To be fair, you must need quite a lot of footballing intelligence to anticipate where a shot is going to be three minutes into the future, seeing as that's the only way he's going to reach one in time.

Lemonade Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Man United's miss a few minutes later was almost as bad. Rooney just needed to cut it back and it's a tap in to an empty net for Berbatov but he totally overcooked the cutback, Berba had to stretch for it and couldn't hit it cleanly. Brilliant game yesterday. Arsenal Blackburn on Saturday was a corker as well. Goals were raining in. End to end stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gladstone Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Didn't see any footy at the weekend. Glad I missed the old firm game...According to BBC Sport - Cole's tackle on Hernandez may not have been a penalty due to the ball going out of play before the tackle. Hence the yellow card for the dangerous tackle, but the ball having already gone out for a goal kick, he couldn't give a penalty. Same as an off the ball incident I suppose. If he'd punched him in the face, with the ball just gone out, he'd have received a red card, but United wouldn't have received a penalty.

Lemonade Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 I think the ball was still in play when he made contact. I think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootray Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 I'm still puzzled by it. Free kicks have been given in the past for incidents like that. I think because it came from the assistant and the ref didn't want to award another penalty they decided against it and follow the off the ball route.

Guest Gladstone Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 I think the ball was still in play when he made contact. I think...Na, don't think so:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znWT_K-EQj0Saying that though - the ball must be just out of play, and the tackle is about a millisecond after the ball leaves his foot - like most late tackles. Still quite surprising that a penalty isn't given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Speaking to a former Grade 1 ref at work and he says it should have been a penalty and a red card. The ball may have been out of play when the contact occurred but it wasn't when Cole launched himself at Hernandez.Should have also been a red card for Man Utd's penalty. If the Utd player hadn't been brought down he was clean through on the keeper, so surely it was denying a goal scoring opportunity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did fine when called on against Dundee in the cup but on Saturday he was totally static, standing on his line for both goals. Looking at the highlights again today they were both terrible goals to lose although Killie could say the same about ours. I fancy that we'll cuff East Fife tomorrow. I'm heading down for goals galore. Fallon and Chalali to open their accounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh_Jazz Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Arf!Was Brown really that bad though? I'm not sure that many keepers would have tried to claim the cross for the first goal...it was a good ball, that Mawene should have dealt with....perhaps he was a little static for the second, but again, Mawene was more culpable IMO.

Shaki Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 To be honest I don't actually know what keepers should do so I don't usually comment. It just looked like he was standing still until the ball went past him and then went down like a big sack of massive potatoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
