Mowen Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I quite like him. Football needs to have some rogues to make it more interesting. Second half I agree with. First sentance I couldn't disagree with more, he's up there with Keith Curle when it comes to cuntish footballers for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he said that he would "rather die than apologize to Materazzi" just a couple days before he published that on his blog. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 On SSN that FIFA or someone are meeting and one of the points up for discussion is that 'denying a goalscoring opportunity' might be downgraded to a yellow. Sounds a pretty thick IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exiled in Texas Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 On SSN that FIFA or someone are meeting and one of the points up for discussion is that 'denying a goalscoring opportunity' might be downgraded to a yellow. Sounds a pretty thick IMO. The thought is that the punishment for a DOGSO of Penalty kick, Red Card and Subsequent suspension is too severe, and that if the Penalty is scored then the Goal Scoring Opportunity was not denied. Interesting point [PierLuigi] Referee following LOTG punishes foul and misconduct with appropriate DFK/PK and Yellow/Red, but playing league handles suspensions. It's not the referee who determines if player should be suspended, and that could easily be adjusted at the league level without changing LOTG. [/PierLuigi] My view - don't do the crime if you can't do the time. Perhaps the rash challenge that results in DOGSO PK and Red Card would be better being tempered and they stay on the field to play the rest of the game.

Village Idiot Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I always thought that football needs some kind of sin bin like hockey for "orange card" situations. Or make it like basketball and allow the sent off player to be subbed for "orange" offences (that would still count against your substitution limit) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 http://sports.espn.go.com/oly/cycling/news/story?id=4968470 MADRID -- Spanish cyclist Jose Enrique Gutierrez has announced his retirement after his American Rock Racing team failed to get a license to compete. In a statement, Gutierrez said that "at this stage of the season it is very difficult to find a team" that could offer him the right conditions. The 35-year-old Gutierrez has competed in six Tour de France races, three Italian Giros and five Spanish Vueltas in a 12-year career. He finished second in the 2006 Giro de Italia behind Ivan Basso, his best performance in a major race. I considered making two wind up threads with that.
