If they were to take into account the overwhelming swell of opinion and evidence that argues it was a fair challenge, we might have a chance. Just can't see them seeing logic!

not so sure, the replays show he had studs up but going away from the man. pissi...marriner done what was right in the heat of things. it's only the replays that show a different light i'm not a fan of video evidence but exploit the rules as they exist. I agree, the replay shows the tackle to be nigh on perfect and infact not very dangerous at all. It is studs down, one footed and hooks the ball away. I just can't see it being look upon in that way, they will simply see the image of Tiote levitating and end the discussion there and then. If we were allowed to personally argue our case and show replays etc then we might have a chance, but under the current system it will simply be waved away. I even worry that it could be claimed to be 'frivolous' and his ban could be extended.

There's nee hope man. Both feet of the ground in the modern game = straight red. FA will stand behind their referee.

don't the prem and FA only sell the rights on the condition it's done like that ? I have no idea. It's irritating regardless though.

All the ITV commentators piss me off. Sensationalist, cringeworthy, often biased wankers.

The two that waltz in half way through, I take it they're just randomers not footballers?

What's that commentator called again? Proper knobber him.

McEachran at 17 is twice the player Ramires is.

Aye, it's not pretty like. Comedy gold though.

Colour of the strip they wore in the FA Cup final vs Leicester, of which Neil Young (goalscorer in the final) has recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer.

You don't want to see it or cannit find it?

Still.

Ronaldo did it at 18 though

Would agree with that tbh. I don't think the Premier League is as attractive as it's fans think. Fact neither player agreed to the deal says a lot. Plus Napoli fans > Spuds.

Amazingly, it can be easily hunted down on Google for anybody interested

Cannit believe this could have skipped by without any NUFC fan hearing about it like.

Ben Alnwick, Chris Brown and Liam Lawrence aswell iirc. Weren't they all moved on on the back of it? or just because they're generally not very good players?

Aye, he was

Probably more that he just didn't want to go to Spurs, tbh.

Aye, nee way I'd be swapping with mackems like.

Played against us for Donny last season. Only had a handful of games for the mackems iirc.

They're fucking useless.

Going looking for certain players is disappointing, especially considering that Blackpool are hardly a million miles away from Liverpool atm. But say, swapping with the player that you were up against during the game, or even the person nearest to you at the match is fair enough imo. Like Nixon says I think it's a good momento of of your career, when you've got all the money in the world to buy material goods then it's probably quite satisfying to collect something that can't realistically be purchased. I've always though van Persie was an arrogant dick (and he probably still is) but I thought that collection of his was quite humble of him. The Twitter thing from Shelvey is a bit sad and weird, but then again he's only 18 and has probably grown up watching Ferdinand as a kid. He would have been what, 10 when Ferdinand was excellent at the 2002 WC?

:lol:
