Ketsbaia Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Serious attempt at a Giggs World Record, this thread. Yep, although I don't think anyone has mentioned Graham Poll's opinion. He thinks Halsey should retire. Apparently McManaman has done this sort of thuggery before, I'll try and dig out the link. Also, has anyone read about Dave Whelan's interview?

Golfmag Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I am certain that this has been said already so apologies but a huge amount of Whelan's stance on this lies in the unadulterated hatred there has been between him and Mike Ashley over a number of years. DW believes that Ashley systematically set out (and succeeded) to destroy JJB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bimpy474 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 What is being overlooked in the media is just how bad his actual refereeing of the game was. Many of his decisions (which went against us as it happens) were terrible, it isn't just the tackle he missed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pata Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Might have been posted before: http://espnfc.com/blog/_/name/newcastleunited/id/723?&cc=5739 Good read Very good read indeed From the comments: Football can learn from rugby arguments are generally tedious, but when it comes to the disciplinary system, the FA really should look at rugby's example. A citing officer examines all the games and acts independently of the referees. That means he can charge players for incidents missed by the match officials and also players involved in foul play spotted by the ref but perhaps not dealt with sufficiently harshly. Players subsequently found guilty at a disciplinary hearing are punished using a sliding scale that reflects the severity of the offence, the circumstances and any past history of misconduct. A player found guilty of stamping could be banned for two weeks if it was a minor incident, but the suspension might be 16 weeks if it was more serious and resulted in an injury. The disciplinary committee can also rule a sending off was sufficient punishment and that no suspension is necessary. No system is perfect and there are still controversies in rugby, but at least it means there is a chance of the punishment fitting the crime. A couple of years ago a French rugby player was banned for 100 weeks for eye gouging - in English football he'd have received the same three-match ban as a player who slapped someone. I know nothing about rugby but this is basically the system that is used in ice hockey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I am certain that this has been said already so apologies but a huge amount of Whelan's stance on this lies in the unadulterated hatred there has been between him and Mike Ashley over a number of years. DW believes that Ashley systematically set out (and succeeded) to destroy JJB. You're doubtless correct and I'm sure Whelan and Ashley are as big cunts as each other, but it says a lot about Whelan that he'll trivialise and defend a brutal, career threatening attack on a talented youngster new to the country just to score points that don't make any fucking difference to anyone. He's lost my respect completely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of his decisions (which went against us as it happens) were terrible, it isn't just the tackle he missed. I think the officiating and Whelan are being mentioned too much tbh, the focus should be on Haidara's condition and that cunt McManaman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 He failed to send off Perch as well. That was the right decision tbh, at least I would prefer that kind of approach to refereeing a game as I have no doubt he'd have gone had Halsey not seen the Haidara tackle at half time.
