Wow....what a couple of corners there from Alonso/Massa/Hamilton

Sniff Petrol twitter - "Heidfeld is in the Lotus Renault Lotus pit garage whispering "I vouldn't had done zat" into people's ears"

Back to the Football, it has been a while but soon got back into the swing of things.

Thing is...I don't know what Lewis did to earn a reprimand?

From Twitter, on Crofty and 5Live accounts.

"We understand Maldonado will get 5 place grid penalty, reprimand for Hamilton"

Waiting to see if I can get anything offical

25/08/2011 - The day Scottish Football officially got lower than the basement and foundations of European football.

Ok so I've been neglecting my film viewing for a while now and as a result I have a backlog worse than the back up on my toilet after a heavy night on the bevy followed by the extra spicy vindallo from my local Indian takeaway, whose chef cooking the said meal has to put on full protective clothing therefore resembling the get up gear pit crew members used to wear back in F1 after Vestappen had his barbeque in the pit lane.

So I finally got around to watch TRON Legacy (7.5/10) and it's not that bad to be fair (not that great either) Visually it is stunning, shot well when in the real world and when in the virtual world the CGI was stunning. Musically Daft Punk nailed it, but then when don't they? The plot was a bit meh at times, but for those who have watched the original there where enough nods to keep us happy (escaping the light cycle battle through a hole in the wall...the model of a 'bit' on the shelf).

However I think I've seen who will play David Bowie if/when a biopic film needs to be made...had to do a double take when Castor/Zuse was on just to be sure that it wasn't Bowie after all.

shite...linked it from another forum, I can see it but then i'm signed in for it. Working on a fix now.

Some from the previous weekends action.

Onto more important things.....County won today, 2-0 win over Queen of the South. Telt.

Wrong crash

But I agree... I'd say it was at least 66% Dario's fault.

Yeah such a strange crash that one.

Both drivers where to close to each other, and Sato admited that he had something in his eye (what a time!!) and from the head on view it looks as if Dario turned in slightly on Sato...no driver was totally at fault but nor where they totally faultless at the same time.

Strange race with stranger calls from the officials.

Quote from sjava :

But there are occasions when he just looses it and yet,those occasions have been many. Maybe im wrong with the ''leaving stuff'' but he has said that he's unhappy with the club board.

Also:

Oh he's unhappy with the way it's run and Newcatles Transfer policy (bye bye our best players, hello unkown and untested frenchies) but has said that he wants to remain a Newcastle player.

Quote from sjava :

...anyway, as some of yous might have heard, Barton has anger issues so this is no suprise to me and why the heck is he still at Newcastle? He said he wanted to leave. QPR started the league nicely,beaten 4-0 on home soil and Liverpool got off to a great start, a draw at home against Sunderland.

He's never said he wanted to leave, the opposite is true, he's repeated a number of times his desire to stay. As for the Anger issues, well I remember a game last season when Wolves went out and tried everything (and I mean everything) to get him to snap. They fouled him over and over againg, kicked him and stamped on him yet he did nothing.

Sure he's being a grade A numpty and fud, but he is trying to sort himself out and thats why last season he was Newcastles player of the season

Quote from DevilDare :

What the hell?

Gervinho WAS fouled legitimately. Whether it deserved a penalty or not, is another discussion, however, there was no need from Burton to rush up to him and start a scuffle. That alone deserved a red card. He kicked it all off... Of course he deserved to go.

Scumbag Burton, complains about diving, dives to a slap... Wasn't even a damn slap...

Utter cock he is.

Yeah no...as soon as I typed that I thought I had something wrong...I blame the fact I've been out in the sun all day (In Scotland its a rare thing so enjoy when possible)

Yeah, maybe Joey could have got more, but I dont think the ref has done much wrong with his interpation of the rulling. Contact on the chest is
only a yellow card but Gervinho hit back above the chest....red card.

Still, up to that point I don't think he did anything to deserve a red card. So we could easily say it should have been 10v9 instead of 11v10.

BTW hope Song gets reffered to the FA committe, but it's all down to what the ref puts in his report.

Quote from DevilDare :

It should be 10v10 at the moment with Gervinho still on, and Song with Barton getting an early shower...

Gervinho raised his hands and made contact above the chest...no matter how hard that 'hit' was, under the laws of the game that is a straight red card. Song went for Joeys ankles, with little or no intent to play the ball, thats a red for dangerous play.

Now since I only got back in time to watch the second half there may have been something in the first half I missed, but I don't think Joey has done anything to warrent a Red card.

Quote from DevilDare :

Barton... what a ****.

Well considering Song should have gone for his tackle on Barton....consider it something wrong being put to right.
