Beren Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I think it ranks alongside Suarez handballing Gyan's effort in the World Cup, then going through on penalties as a consequence. It's the "do anything to win" mentality, which in theory is fine and admirable - but to be so thoroughly unsporting in the means of pursuing victory is unquestionably cunty and NOT something I'd want a Newcastle player to do - even if it meant losing a cup. If you don't confine the "give it your all" to sporting behaviour, there's no limit to how stupid you can get. Suarez sneaking a shiv onto the pitch in the World Cup, and shanking all of England's first XI on 70 minutes - taking the red card, but allowing the remainder of his team to face stabbed players for the remaining 20 minutes. You can't just clean someone out because you want to win. It's petulant and cunty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree re suarez, it was a cuntish thing to do but it's his list of other things that make him a cunt. if you want to go on about professional fouls like that then stop watching, it's an unfortunate side to the game that aren't going to be stopped any time soon and our players do them all the time, if less important or blatant the sloskjaer's.

Froggy Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 You think him holding his head as if he were within a hairs breadth of being decapitated didn't influence the officials ? He didn't like. He went down holding his face and stayed down. No rolling about, not flopping about. If that's how you're describing that incident I'd like a description of Steven Taylors dive against Villa. Nobody thinks Steven Taylor is a cunt for that except Sunderland and Villa fans probably. It was a goal if he didn't stick his hand out. He tried to save his team and stay on the pitch, but he cheated and is guilty of one of the most over the top displays of diving the league has ever seen.

Really? cabaye and tiote deliberatly foul in most every game, cabayes often more malicious then solskjaers, watch every corner or free kick into the box. like I say less blatant and important though.

He was holding his face despite being hardly touched. As for Steven Taylor, you couldn't be more wrong. We all think he's a daft cunt. Even Newcastle fans.

Hanshithispantz Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Howay then Dinho. How is it wildly different to Tim Krul tripping a player over once he's been rounded? Because he didn't run 40 yards to do so? There are far better examples I could have used like, but considering this conversation has already likened Solskjaer's foul to Luis Suarez running around the pitch shanking people I think I'm safe. It was a twattish thing to do, and something that 15 years ago would have highly annoyed me if I wasn't 8 at the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinho lad Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Yeah, I'm sure Krul deliberately tripped the player up so we could concede a penalty in the last minutes and lose the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 He made a conscious effort to trip over a player to avoid him from taking a free shot at goal after he'd been rounded. Even if you disagree with that you cannot deny that players trip/pull back other players every week to avoid them from advancing into a goalscoring position. Tiote is one of the worst offenders in the league for it. In any case my main point is that it was a proffessional foul that happened 15 years ago. I'm struggling to genuinely believe any rational thinking man thinks he's an "absolute fucking disgrace." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
