Football 2010-2011

because ferguson appeals and he's wrong. this gives man utd the chance to regroup and get 11 men behind the ball before play is restarted.

as it stands, the decision is not given (rightly or wrongly) and chelsea can hit them on the counter.

Ahh, bringing up more nonsense I see. It suits you.

it's your own nonsense, not mine.

If you don't spout bollocks, I can't throw it back at you. Simples.

[eFestivals]

So the answer's yes then.

and an even bigger yes is applicable to you.

Keep slagging yourself off, I don't mind at all.

[eFestivals]

Eh?

So a goal/red card/penalty is given against Man Utd. The game carries on as Ferguson looks to his video guys on the side line to assess it. When play stops, he calls the fourth official's attention to a challenge. It gets reviewed upstairs as the game carries on. He loses it and the game carries on as it has been and he loses further challenges. It gets reversed and the referee overturns the decision at the next break in play by chalking off the goal or bringing the player back on.

You don't agree with this?

only a moron who doesn't get football would agree with that.

It suits you.

so tonight ..... Chelski or Utd?

Just cos Vidic likes him so much (), I'm going for a Chelsea win with Torres getting the winner.

Which probably guarantees a Utd win.

[ampersand]

who cares!

but i'll go for 0-0. it'll be shite like most english over hyped games.

[worm]

no i don't.

[ampersand]

Fair enough. Don't be winging about poor decisions and cheating then.

[ampersand]

we've just taken the lead from a dodgy penalty in my mind. hooray for current set up!

[pehaw]

so have Chelsea

[Sparticus]

Given everyone's talking about retrospective decisions, chelsea have got lucky tonight to have not had luis sent off, and have got a very soft penalty (As in, couldn't have been more of a dive).

[worm]

i can whinge about cheating as i'd love it to be dealt with retrospectively. whether it's 100% sure or 75% sure as i said previously.

and poor decisions are rubbish and you can rightly moan. but i'd rather lose tonight on a poor decision than implement appeals during play.

[pehaw]

Drogba went down like he'd been shot then....

[Paul ™]

Well done Reading, enjoyed that game.. and turned it over to see the last 10 minutes of Man Utd getting beat 2-1

[ampersand]

You want the moon on a stick, you say?

[pink_triangle]

I felt a fair score in the chelsea v man u match would have been a draw. However for the neutral like me, a chelsea win is definitely best for the league. Its put the title race back into arsenals own hands and hopefully it will go down to the last game with both having a chance of winning the league

[Steve P]

Couldn't have hoped for a better result really, especially with Vidic missing Sunday's game. Just hope we take our opportunity

[Wooderson]

Rumblings from Goodison tonight according to Tony Evans of The Times.

care to tell us how swapping the current situation of imperfect ref decisions but with perfect play from those refs decisions for a system with perfect ref decisions but imperfect play from those decisions within the game - which is what you're suggesting - is any improvement?

They're both as bad as each other if the aim is perfection - but at least with the situation we have now everything is totally logical rather than anti-logical as your system is, and the game is able to be controlled because there is a ref on the field whose decisions actually mean something rather than perhaps nothing.

So what we have now wins out, before starting to think of the extra problems that would be caused by changing the world's most successful team sport into something else - which might mean it's no longer the world's most successful team sport.

that was a cracking game last night - a much much better watch than I expected it to be.

I reckon the result was about right too, cos while Utd shaded the first half, Chelsea were better in the second - tho after the first half I thought there was no way Chelsea were going to win. A fantastic goal by Luiz too.

I saw on Sky News this morning that Fergie has been moaning (off camera) about Luiz's leg out to take down Rooney, saying Luiz should have been sent off .... yet if Luiz should have been off for that then Vidic should have been off in the first half when he did exactly the same thing to one of Chelsea's players and earnt himself a yellow. Same old Fergie.
