Indeed. No doubt in my mind that it was deliberate now. For some reason on the tv I couldn't be sure - his legs looked all tangled up, he looked more off balance, just couldn't be certain. Don't know if it was a different angle, or if I was just trying too hard not to be partisan about it.

And another sending off here.

yep, that could have easily been a red in another game. And Ballerina should have definatly gone

 

[London_Calling]

I don't know what the kids call it now but back in the day that was a 'forearm smash'.

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Balotelli charged by the FA, nothing for Lescott. Apparently Webb feels he dealt with the incident on the pitch (by waving play on!!!) so the FA can't follow it up.

I think it's a "forizzle smashizzle" now.

 

[London_Calling]

Could have ruined his good looks.

Disappointing that Lescott hasnt got penalised by the FA, its pretty blatant too. I guess the ref saw it, which means the decision stands, where as with Balotelli he must have said he didnt see it, hence the 4 match ban (if he'd said he'd seen it Balotelli would be safe - i think thats how it goes). I could give a shit about a 4 match ban - they should lose points over this, and we should get some!

Remind me what Redknapp's beef was with Mancini waving cards? Lose a game and he wants players banged up. Mind you I can see his point from where he is this week.

Someone really has to go to the court case wearing a Tottenham shirt with 'Rosie 47' on the back.

It's going to take some serious wheeler dealering to get him out of this, but then Harry's so bent he picks his nose with a corkscrew.

Dirty Harry the tax-dodger. Some of his best friends pay taxes.

COYS and all that but I think he deserves the benefit of the doubt on that one. If you see his body movement, and imagine the Spurs player isn't there, then his movement of his arm is entirely rational/logical and what anyone would do for balance. Just a shame the Spurs player was coming from the other direction.

Balotelli, however, should be hung. Gone from Loveable Scamp to Nasty Piece Of Work in my household instantly on that one.

disagree...half way through the movement he throws his weight towards the oncoming player. Anyhow, probably time to move one... but Im holding a grudge over this match - just try and stop me!

Fuck that, the LFC thread was polluted by the Suarez stuff, let's have it out here as well.

 

[London_Calling]

You get classier every day.

 

[London_Calling]

Has anyone else heard of the tweet put out by Sky Sports after the Citeh game about 'arry 'resigning'?

You'd normally dismiss it but it was apparently real, people have tried to tie it to the court case - some kind of tactic, Sky haven't said anything... all a bit odd.

 

[Refused as fuck]

It was actually by SkySporksNews (a spoof account), you useless old tosser.

Tosser.

Tosser.

If 'ethnic Pakistani' is racist you'd better let the Census people know, and the millions who describe themselves as such. But thanks for your insight. It was a response in kind - in the shape of a pointless descriptor - to an unpleasant, unthinking oaf who knows pretty well everyone in this thread has him on ignore when the bloody thing works.

 

[xes]

people describe themselves as lots of things, but it doesn't really make it ok to use someones ethnicity in a rebuttle like that.
