  1. Why are the British media just ignoring all the reports in France about Garde?
  2. 1. Bad first touch/could have cleared it with his first touch 2. Doesn't bust a gut to get back 3. He hits the ball out for a corner 4. He taps it out so they can take a quick corner Of course it's his fault. Out for a corner which every defender would do in that situation. Also, not sure because only saw the replay once but wasn't it a different ball that Willian took the corner with. Dummett was much more at fault Defenders choose corners over throw ins? He was definitely at fault, watch it again when you get the chance. Wouldn't a throw in lead to the exact same situation?

  4. Don't see how that's Colo's fault for the goal, even if he reacted quicker he was too far away to stop it happening
  5. I know he's not a great defender anymore but I still love his little moments of quality like that

  7. Detestable prick is what he is. How come? His view on how football should be played, anyone who shares his views on football is a prick in my books. Bit harsh to call him a prick for being a negative manager
  8. The fuck? So murder is now seen as morally more acceptable than rape. In the common consciousness I think that actually is the case tbh. Definitely. I think it all depends on context, personally. This case is really not comparable to (or worse than) murder. Absolutely, I wasn't commenting on this case particularly but culturally, rape is now the ultimate crime. Murder is the stuff of gentle ITV Sunday afternoon drama whilst even post-watershed rape scenes attract huge numbers of complaints. A football pundit can freely use "murdered" to describe a game but if he uses "raped", he's finished. There's also this idea in the public consciousness and the media that rape is rape and that no rape is less serious than any other. That idea is so stupid I can barely comprehend it but that's why Evans is such a pariah. A few public figures who've attempted to disagree with that idea recently have either been forced to apologise or gotten threats. It's fucking weird like. I don't even know who these people are that abhor rape but will quite happily threaten rape on someone that says something they don't like.
  9. Off topic but do any of the Irish posters here remember Eamonn Dunphy's outburst against Rod Liddle during Saipan? Dunphy: Do you know who wrote that article Bill? Bill: No I don't Eamonn Dunphy: I'll tell ya who wrote it Bill, Rod Liddle, he's the fella who ran away and left his wife for a young one Live on RTE
