Time for roy to go

 

[Springsteen]

He shouldn't have done this well this early as the UA, he could have done a little worse before this. Sadly he's been found out now.

Nice to see Jason Cuntface shut up a bit about Chelsea on sky sports, he's usually foaming at the mouth at them.

It is with great sadness that we have to announce the untimely death earlier today of Richard Butcher.

Richard passed away at his home in Manchester overnight.

He was an exemplary professional and a thoroughly likeable young man. Our thoughts are with his wife and family at this very difficult time.

2-1 but we were bloody lucky! Still, I'll take it, looking forward to the away leg, COYI!!!

 

[Peter Parka]

West Ham have signed Wayne Bridge. Good signing!:thumbup

Just watching Barcelona-Betis in the Copa Del Rey. Decent game for a 0-0 thus far, Barca doing most of the attacking as you might expect with Betis counter attacking.

1-0, Messi scored a chip which Picasso would have painted.

 

[Springsteen]

Real Madrid just drew 1-1 at Almeria in the League, Barcelona play at home to Malaga next and will go 4 points clear with a win. Kicked off at the end there with the Almeria striker and Iker Casillas.

CUNT OF THE WEEK

This is referee, Peter Walton. He dosen't like players showing passion for the game. He lists his interests as golf and current affairs. Says it all, really!

Not his fault. He has laws to enforce. It's your own players fault for running into the crowd on a yellow card.

It was cubed and wierd looking?:surrender

FIFA's rule book

While it is permissible for a player to demonstrate his joy when a goal has been scored, the celebration must not be excessive.

Reasonable celebrations are allowed, but the practice of choreographed celebrations is not to be encouraged when it results in excessive time-wasting and referees are instructed to intervene in such cases.

A player must be cautioned if:
• in the opinion of the referee, he makes gestures which are provocative, derisory or inflammatory
• he climbs on to a perimeter fence to celebrate a goal being scored
• he removes his shirt or covers his head with his shirt
• he covers his head or face with a mask or other similar item

Leaving the field of play to celebrate a goal is not a cautionable offence in itself but it is essential that players return to the field of play as soon as possible.

Referees are expected to act in a preventative manner and to exercise common sense in dealing with the celebration of a goal.

 

[Zorak]

I remember him climbing over something. And physically celebrating with the crowd... He gave the referee a decision to make, when he had no need to.
And there were other more important factors that cost you those two points, like Fellaini's skill and physical prescence.
