Anyone else here JT version of the red card, he didn't mean to knee him in the arse, it was only because the player stopped running........WHAT THE F***
Yes, lets make it just a yellow and allow violent conduct just so the teams can be level......
....seriously do you understand anything about the laws of the game?
How is the ref an idiot, surely not for sending off Terry??????
100 Horses the size of ducks.
However if you said a Swan the size of a horse then god help us all....
Decent game last night, keeps the race for that 3rd place interesting and compact. Arsenal started really slow and where punished by a quick, free flowing Wigan who defended well and should have made it 3-1. I can't see any reason why Wigan will go down now, especially if they continue to play like they did last night, so that leaves the bottom 4 battling out for that precious 17th position in the league. Going to go down to the last day again I think for both ends of the table.
Also good to see that the Dutch hatred of the Scots still runs strong all because Archie Gemmill ran through them in back in 78....well that must be the reason RVP refused to shake hands with Caldwell at the end.

Can't wait till the time Ant finds something he likes......
Quickly came to the same conclusion after my 2nd protest, apparently it's a racing incident to be taken out in the trucks under caution.
Now I know what some of you are thinking, you're thinking "Hey Mackie....why quote a post from almost 2 years back...have you gone mad"
Well not quite. First of all I've been tested and called crazy... not mad (there is a little difference, being mad gets you locked up, being crazy gets you put in goals) but secondly is that until tonight, this was the best day I had supporting County. Back then we where going to a national final, a small team in the north of Scotland was going to fight for one of the oldest cup competitions in the UK. As it turned out we lost 3-0 that day, but the feeling stayed with me and with it what I thought was as good as it got.
Tonight however,that feeling came back. Due to the season we have being having and results that have gone our way...Ross County are now in the SPL. 20 years ago, the club nearly folded while in the Highland league playing away games to the likes of Wick Academy and Fort William. We are the first ex-Highland League side to make it to the top leagues and will now face the likes of Rangers (if they are still here) Celtic, Heart, Hibs, Aberdeen and more importantly Caley. I can't really explain what it's like, but it feels sooooooo good.
Saturday will be a very very drunk day up in the Highlands. I make my apologies now in case I get PC access later on in the weekend.
Yeah it's irritating.......if your the opposition, but as a neutral and a fan of good football when Barca are on fire they are stunning to watch, even at 70% they still, imo, a good watch.
What they do well is ball retention, your never going to concede if you have the ball, and so what if they turn down the less chance of scoring a goal outside the box, when they go looking for the bigger chance of being 1-on-1 with the keeper. Anyone who has played the sport (11 a side at amateur level for instance) will surely understand the importance of keeping the ball, it has nothing to do with embarrassing or humiliating the opposition at all.
It just seems to be the 'thing' to do, to criticise Barcelona for the way they play football. In my mind that's like trying to criticise footage of Jim Clark driving a Lotus 49 at it's limits around Spa right on the limits by saying that it could be done better by Jason Plato.
I always try and refrain from responding to the critics of Barca's style but this takes the piss. To help I've highlighted the obvious argument against your petty and ill informed rant.
Honestly, Barca play a nice style of attacking football, they create space by stretching the defence and pulling them out of position, thus allowing runs from within the midfield into the box creating genuine goal scoring chances. Every player in that team is comfortable with the ball at their feet, even on the weaker foot, and they are willing to close down the ball whenever it's lost. Often the case that a Barca player is no further than 5 yards from the ball at any one time, even when it a long diagonal ball. Why is that a bad why of playing football, I'll love to see your argument against it.
Put it simply would you rather see your team work the ball well and create space to where players get into the box and create good chances, or play the long ball from the defence over your midfield to a lone striker who attempts a long range effort 25 yards from goal that 9 times out of 10, end up in the stands?
So when will King Kenny get the sack from Liverpool then? If this was Roy Hodgson the Kop would be screaming for him to be dunted.
Yep he even got into the face of the ref for booking him believing it to be part of the FA's conspiracy against them.
Learned all that from Gerrard and Suarez.
