Will Duncan Edwards feature?

Tiote did it, he teabagged his head and Carroll sparked oot, like an epileptic having a fight with a stroboscope.

Normally, you could say something like "He looks worse than an old mans sack" but he genuinely doesn't.

Like, seriously, is it human?

LMFAO at Simas avatar.

Newcastle set to make a £15m bid for Carlton Cole The Sun

Doing a fine job, to be fair to the chap. Promiscuous boy...

Tiote shall not change. Tiote is THE man. Tiote will continue to rape the midfielders of every single club.

10 fucking nil.

Tiote is so amazing that even a heterosexual chap like myself is in love with him.

With krul, our back 4 and tiote we are have the best defensive unit in the land. Level 7 was bouncing last night! Great performance on and off the pitch!

Without a doubt.

We can do this. We just need to believe.

Just behind Alan Shearer, Peter Beardsley, Kevin Nolan, Cheick Tiote, Jose Enrique and Paul Gascoigne.

It's fine the way it is. The only thing that needs changing is dissent. By all means appeal, but don't abuse the referee - address him with Sir and don't swear at him. Players who have actively dived, red cards should be issued. Then leave 'appealing' for decisions alone you fucking bullies.

:lol:

not by a player, no. or should players have the right to tell the ref what they think of every decision ? It was potentially a leg breaking/career ending tackle, and with the game being played at such a fast pace and in such an intense atmosphere, I personally think it would be unfair to suggest that players should not react by asking for the ultimate penalty to be paid. why doesn't it happen in other sports ? why do those partaking leave it to the ref and if he gets it wrong then thats the game ? Very valid point. It's all down to the nature of the game...the people playing it, supporting it, managing it. In my opinion, a lot of decisions are more likely to be wrong/influenced by players when it comes to football, because we don't use replays, etc to our advantage like in other sports. I don't believe in the need for them either, because that's the beauty of the game. Like I've said, niggly little fouls and players calling for bookings is twattery. Yet in the case of something considerably worse, I'd say it's only fair to expect players to rightly be incensed... no, it's down to those playing it and those running it not getting those refereeing it to do it properly. train some rugby union refs up to football rules and let them go. That would obviously help. Football atmospheres are nowt like other sports though, the whole attitude is different, you wouldn't get 60,000 (?) people at Twickenham singing the referees a w*****... thats always been there, player behaviour towards the officials hasn't always been as twatful as it is now. Possibly due to the continental influence? We have a lot more 'foreign' players playing in the Premier League now and a lot more televised games. This int urn causes children to think they can act this way and get away with it, thus bringing through the diving types?

Okay, sorry boss. You just take from it what you feel is necessary. xxx that post could have read "You.........just take it" ...or "What you feel is necessary. xxx"...

Not really. Yeah it was, could have easily broke his leg going in that high.

Hence the term, theoretical discussion.

Did any City players wave cards at the ref? I genuinely don't know... So why ask? Why not ask? Thread title: Players calling for cards - acceptable or not. You ask a question completely off topic as to whether people would think the ref got it wrong had he decided different. What actually is your point? It's not completely off topic considering it was involving a theoretical discussion about a bad tackle, and whether or not other players have the right to appeal to the referee. It was a perfectly useful example, in order to make my point (about the scenario being key), more clear. This was after all a theoretical discussion anyways, wasn't it?
