I'd love to think Rooney and Defore could form a partnership, they'd destry teams in the final 20 mimutes

Worst keeper i've ever seen at SJP, basically threw the ball in for Shola

you need to start getting your facts right Wullie, you're becoming the forum embarrassment mate

yes No it isn't. since when? BTW I'm basing this on seeing Tony Norman sent off for Sunderland for a simple catch, way back in the day I refer you to: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/3586054.stm Sounds like a different interpretation to me What do you mean? Well what we have here is examples of both a yellow card and a red card given for the same offence. Who's to say which is right, unless you can produce a rule of course It's treated exactly the same as any handball. Page 110: http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/affederation/federation/81/42/36/lotg_en.pdf It's not though. The vast majority of handballs are just freekicks. If a keeper tocuhes the ball out of the box, he's lucky to escape with a yellow card. By the laws of the game it is. When a goalkeeper carries the ball out of the area during his kicking motion, they don't send him off ffs. Jaaskelainen did it at SJP, Shearer slammed the free kick away. Jose Reina did it a season or two ago too against Bolton (he didn't actually, it was a ludicrous decision). Neither were sent off though. The Jaaskelainen incident was for holding on to the ball too long (in the box)

Cheers though, as I understood it any deliberate handball by the keeper outside his box warranted a red card. It seems that some referees are also under this impression tbf

penalty Mowen to get his money

Surely they could just restart?

Why did they abandon the game?

yes

those odds are brilliant

James will never be part of an England team that wins the world cup, he's about as reliable as Pavel Srnicek. Good shotstopper but 40 years old next year and nowhere near the keeper he was during 2004 (when he also wasn't good enough for England) I'd love to see Foster make a good case for the shirt but right now it belongs to Green

Green right now

King is on trial in October for ABH and sexual assault, best stay away

Not even Wigan want King man, he's bloody hopeless

I'd agree. Don't think he's far off Shearer's level when fully-fit and at his best. 8 years ago perhaps, but not anymore man

He was consistently good for Boro from what I saw, when he was on the pitch of course

Better than Berbatov when fit according to Paul 'he's very talentable' Merson

Only when trying to control a football

Do you not remember when Keegan done something similar to Berseford? Although that was for a different reason. telling Keegan to f*** off against Villa iirc

vain a writer should know better
