So you only refer it to video after the ref on the field has already decided it's a pen.? You'd have anarchy man!! how? doesn't happen in any other sport. As said above, you can have the ref have the final say if he's overuled. Ref's make mistakes, who's honestly going to disagree with that? I thought if the refs/umps weren't sure about a decision, they asked for tv help before they gave the decision. Not the other way around. What happens if it happens 3 or 4 times in a match? Ref gives 3 pens initially but it is then proved, via replay, he was wrong for each one!! There would be a riot! alright, well you could change it so that each time the ref thinks he has seen a pen, he reviews the tape if there was a ref awarding 3 incorrect penalties a match, I agree there would be a riot Sense at last!!

So you only refer it to video after the ref on the field has already decided it's a pen.? You'd have anarchy man!! That was kinda my point earlier. I now realise this! Couldn't get my head around Vic's absurd suggestion first time round.

Wouldn't have been a video replay decision anyway. You'd have to stop the game for everything in that case. no, only for penalties and red cards What, not for the ball crossing/not crossing the line? You can't stop the game and go to a fourth official everytime someone goes down in the box or appeals for holding on a corner. I'm for video replays for incidents where it's not clear if the ball is in or not, but anything else would be impractical. not penalty appeals but penalty decisions. and of course crossing the line Eh? If one team appeals, the ref needs to make a decision... yes, and you look at the video if the ref rules it is a pen no point looking at appeals, the appeals would just get more and more frequent Struggling here...If there's no appeal, there's no decision for the ref to make. Is there?

We were beaten by a technically better and far more organised team - no complaints from me. (Only for Roeder and the gutless twats he picked). Agree with Wullie about the Home/away thing though. We had them on the ropes and let them go. However, I dread to think what Alkmaar would have declared at had we gone their first.

They're better than you lot. Stop crying. showed more fight than we did tbf Correct.

France 1 - 1 Brazil (4-3 on pens) QF World Cup 1986 stands out but I was just a bairn. Used to love that French team. Fucking class.

The icing on the cake. Fucking dirty bastard.

Pleat suggesting that the Sevilla coach should consider replacing Alves because the gormless cockney wankers are booing him and he's upsetting them. FFS.

Ripped. To. Bits. PS. Heard Shimbomba.

Man Utd Milan Chelsea Liverpool In that order.

There'd certainly be a few interesting Athens bound flights from Manchester airport! ...and hotels....and bars.....throw in the locals and there'll be carnage.

If Chelsea sign him, no-one else can. [/cynical] my moms been pushing that theory to me, that chelsea buy players simply so their competition can;t get them. Can;t say i;ve been buying into it though. That, or they'll 'park' him.

If Chelsea sign him, no-one else can. [/cynical]

Forgone conclusions. You can't have a team like Watford in the first FA Cup final at the new Wembley. That's why the FA went to all the trouble to fix the draw. Late safety wink added.

I think the sum total of that would be English clubs banned for another five years though. Any Greek and Bulgarian people within 2 miles of a rock and a Liverpool fan would be shitting it. You'd see the flames for miles!

Man Utd v Liverpool would be tasty.

Imagine Mourinho's press conferences...

Fair enough but I still don't see the point of risking them during matches. Surely they can boost their confidence, if they need to, during sharp training sessions?

Don't see the point in risking either of the for the last 5 games. Nothing to play for.

The first time he bailed his drunken fans out of the shit was a nice gesture. I think the bloke is just desperate to be popular and is bending over backwards to a ridiculous extent to 'feather his own nest' for want of a better expression. This magnanimous gesture of offering an unused coach to shuttle his plebs back home will be somehow spun into SuperNiall 2: Lick my arse.

He already has. Their uber-fans would pay to eat his shit.
