tsah Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 After James Bulger died he was already dead, so what's the point. Quite simply the most innapropriate post I have ever witnessed on here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottman Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Dave Whelan, Monday: "I am not going to criticise Norman Deeley - these things happen in football. He came over the ball but he didn't do it with the aim of breaking my leg." Dave Whelan, Lancashire Evening Telegraph 2010: "Norman Deeley came right over the ball. Today he would have been sent off and banned for a long time. He came six inches over the ball, he came for me not the ball." This needs to be fucking circulated Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 hope some daft cunt in an England top does it in the second round of the World Cup next year and we get knocked out. Let the FA cry then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
morla84 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Re-refereeing games would certainly take a lot of pressure off Ref's in my view rather than undermine them. As would a video review in a situation such as this. Mistakes wouldn't cause as much outrage by not getting dealt with at all and might actually improve the refereeing standards.

Cronky Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Life is life, this is football we're talking about. Ridiculous to talk about murders and burglaries in the same arguement. i just can't see what good banning him was going to do for NUFC, complete waste of time. Ignoring the examples given, you are saying you don't want the player who has assaulted our player punished? You aren't bothered he has gotten away with it? I am bothered he didn't get sent off, but banning him after the event doesn't help us one iota. It's not about us being helped though. It's about giving the message to all players that they have to take some responsibility for one another's safety and not go into tackles with that level of aggression. It's about helping players in all clubs in the future. Whelan has done the worst possible thing for his player, because his message, coupled with the FA's response, will probably make McManaman think he's done nothing wrong. I can appreciate the FA needing to follow certain guidelines, but Whelan is in a different position and he's spoken out in a selfish and idiotic way. From the point of view of McManaman's future, he'd have been better off getting a punishment. As it is, he's going to come up against various people inside and outside the game who think a score still needs to be settled. He'd better hope Haidara plays again.

Ste Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I wonder if the FA will block an emergency loan for a full back Wouldn't have thought they'd let us anyway, as Santon is fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BONTEMPI Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Some prick from the FA on talksport giving bullshit excuses as to why no punishment could be given. He used the example of Ben Thatcher as an incident they could intervene with as it was deemed to not being in contest for the ball. If that's the case, what about the elbow by Rooney did not so long ago where the FA again did fuck all. They are a disgrace and corrupt just as much as any other football body. This is why technology has always been rebuffed so many times as it takes away the advantage of the so called top teams. The lame excuse that it'll take too long is bullshit. The amount of time teams complain after an incident far exceed the time it would take someone to view a replay and say yes\no. Hope Ashley does take legal proceedings and screws the little cunt.

Hanshithispantz Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Cannot really add anything that isn't blatantly obvious to any sane mind, such a fucking ridiculous rule man.

Incognito Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Now I know what Taggart meant with his "wee club in the North East" jibe. Because had this have been Cleverly or Sterling or Wilshere or Caulker or Cahill or Rodwell in the receiving end, then a retrospective ban would have been dished out.

Doug Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 It will not be safe for Mcmanaman to set foot on St James park for the rest of his career. Certainly not for the next couple of seasons especially. A sort of ban anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
