Do we think Salah is a bit thick? Given any sort of time and he makes the oddest decisions.
Tottenham vs. Arsenal (02/03)
El Clasico Mate (02/03)
Merseyside derby (03/03)
Milan derby (17/03)
Some random game John Arne will post about (??/??)
That Mitchell & Webb video must be over a decade old, Webly, you arse.
Some other derby nobody cares about
Do we think Salah is a bit thick? Given any sort of time and he makes the oddest decisions.
The last few times I've seen him he's been more like Chelsea Salah. Gets into good positions and then blows up like a clown car.
Chris Sutton definitely drunk on 606.
Pickford thinks he's Ederson with his long kicks. Has the power and none of the accuracy. They were all dreadful today.
@niko_cee Were you there yesterday? What a poor game but the goal and the relief around the ground, as well as Andone's happiness, were good. I was looking at Cardiff's run in earlier and it's pretty horrible, so we should be alright.
I think Salah has had an injury all season that he’s playing on. Wouldn’t be surprised if he had an operation in the summer on something.
Liverpool really need to sort themselves out.
Looking at City's last couple of results, they must be playing like dirt too.
Klopp getting rattled by a ball boy and then going on TV and blaming the wind is showing some real signs of “bottling it”
Still think they’ll take it very close and City have a fuck up in them but not great signs.
The stage is all set for Liverpool and City to both capitulate and Ole to drive the United wagon past them to pip them both.
I would be more than happy to throw the City game.
I'm a twit
No, next game I'm going to is Bournemouth at home.
I can well imagine the atmosphere wasn't great. I heard a lot of groaning after about 15 minutes when they went to the game on Sky. Great result though and Cardiff looking a bit doomed definitely helps. Have Brighton still got to play Cardiff at home? My mind says yes, but they're not on the fixture list - has that been a casualty of the FA Cup which hasn't made it back onto the schedule yet?
Indeed, that and the Chelsea away game (from when they had the League Cup final) to be rearranged.
United should go all out to beat City. Fuck them both.

Can't embed apparently, but Balotelli had a laugh today
That's not how football rules work.
Unlike in virtually every situation where they get more protection, 'keepers tend to get less relative to outfield players in those 'body on the line' collisions. You seem to get more leeway in terms of 'going for the ball' than in pure outfield over the ball/miss the ball situations.
That said, had the ref given Rose a red card, there would be no chance of it being appealed.
Sorry you’re going to have to point out the rule about going over the ball being worth a yellow sometimes and a red other. One actually getting the ball and following through and one just missing and going studs up on someone’s ribs. Must be an interesting law.
I've given up expecting consistency from game to game but the same bloke in the same game should be able to have two identical decisions be the same. The ref realised he was cocking up left and right and collapsed. Hence why we got that absolute sham of a penalty to 'even it up'. Shit happens but let's not be trying to bring up Point 14 section B of the football laws to say it doesn't.
The two incidents are not related in any way. If the referee made a mistake on one call, it has absolutely no impact on an incident later in the game.
P.S. Is Jurgen about to go on telly and tell people how much he would 'LOVE IT' etc. or have I just seen some clips taken out of context?
It seemed that he got properly riled by that ball boy. Tried to walk away about 5 times but kept going back for another bite.
He blamed the wind at Wolves in the FA cup too.
The injury to Alexis really threw Liverpool off their game.
With refereeing you have to decide if you want 'consistency' or for him to give the right decision as he sees it every time. If you want consistency you have to accept wrong decisions, and if you want right decisions you have to accept inconsistency. These are all highly, highly subjective calls.
I get that it's frustrating, but at the same time, it's moronic to think that "Well he did it earlier and didn't get sent off" is a proper defence to a red card tackle.
They were both red cards, that the officials got one wrong doesn't justify the other one.
The ropes have snapped
How did he get any votes?
Because despite my flaws, my quality and quantity is undeniable. I'm the Edison Cavani of the whole shebang.
While we're on this tour de fource of refereeing competence:
lol
Orlando City had our first match Saturday. Went down 2-0 to start despite seemingly bossing proceedings... once we brought Nani on in the 2nd half we looked even more dangerous as to be expected.
Ended up finishing 2-2... we felt we had a strong penalty shout toward the end of the match but VAR didn't overturn the call on the field. Normally I'd post this in World Football That No One Else Cares About but I'd kinda like to hear some unbiased opinions if possible:

I don't get what your point is here phonics?
That the FA should also hand out penalties after the fact (contradicting the decision of the referee at the time), in the same way appeals to have penalties upheaved can be made?
Not deliberate. He's trying to get his hands by his side.
Looks unnatural. Pen for me.
Pen for me too
Penalty, onside, yellow card.
5 yard penalty, automatic first down
Nah that's definitely roughing the passer. 15 yard penalty for that one.
