Fulham match thread

[TheHowieLama]

Swordfish!!!

 

Why does nobody get the subtle Marx Bros references I throw in from time to time?

 

good stuff - I would imagine it is a generational thing.

[Guest LFD]

The difference I think between the Rodwell one and the Spearing one - is the Liverpool player wasn't caught or hurt when he won the ball. Also I don't think it was half as aggressive as the Spearing one.

[zigackly]

didn't know about rodwell, fair play to the bloos. didn't he try to pull out of the tackle? is that why? would like to see the reasons why it was overturned.

 

Because it wasn't a red card.

 

Quod erat fucking demonstrandum.

 

You can stop getting it wrong now.

[Redexile]

Apologies zig I c u spotted it already

[TheHowieLama]

A red card that was rescinded by the FA which sort of disproved your statement. Just as a matter of interest how many of you out ther have played footy at a decent level in a defensive position and made a sliding tackle and been able to stop your body immediately upon contacting the ball? It was poor refereeing - check the Fulham players reaction to the tackle as it happens, there is none

 

That is why I mentioned our players reaction.

[Guest TK-421]

Redexile? if my statement has been disproved why aren't we appealing? okay it was a bad example, but nothing has been disproved or proved either way. im just giving my view.

The zfulham player wasn't even contesting the ball when J cleared it. Are we outlawing the tackle now in football? You've come up with the same theory as that gobshite failed ,Boro manager came up with.

[Guest TK-421]

not outlawed, just made less dangerous.

[xerxes]

As for xerxes looking at a still picture and ignoring the prior discussion and supplied video of the incident, well I will treat that with the contempt it deserves and powerneg him. If I remember, I may even do it twice.

The echo from the bottom of that hole is getting louder and longer, zig.

 

The ref sent him off because it was a sending off offence, the club are not appealing because it would be pointless. The photo shows a red card offence, part of the video sequence.Suggesting that you consider what happened before, and after, but not the bit that matters is embarrassing.

 

No harm in admitting that you were wrong mate, first time round I would have agreed with you, too.

[billypilgrimnz]

Agree. I remember Bellamy actually having a go at him saying, why did you go down, you were clean through, or it could have been... Why didn't you pass, similar to what he did for Maxi to give him an open goal....

 

That's my number one most infuriating thing about Adam - for all his skill, he is remarkably slow of thought on the break, and prefers to just run straight at the defenders with the ball. It's weird. Bellamy should have had that ball well before any foul.

[Anubis]

...and when he follows thru both feet leave the ground and he twats into dembele. which is the part he's not allowed to do.

 

Ah, but he got to the ball first, so it was actually Dembele twatting into him.

[Guest ShoePiss]

The Rodwell incident was overturned on appeal.

 

Actually I think you'll find that it was debris from an experimental high-altitude surveillance balloon belonging to a classified program named Mogul.

[TheHowieLama]

how many of you out ther have played footy at a decent level

 

I know quite a few have and generally I assume everyone has but sometimes peoples opinions on stuff like this or especially on specific roles within a tactical scheme and attributes of certain players make me wonder.

[Redexile]

not outlawed, just made less dangerous.

 

Have another look at the tackle Jay's eyes are only on the ball Dembele (?) is not even contesting hence he makes the contact look worse than it is. You know what I could accept it if decisions were consistent from the cunts in the middle and we knew this was a rule. A far worse tackle at Stamford bridge gets a yellow. Ballotelli gets a yellow for pulling Johnson back Senderos doesn't. There is just complete inconsistency from the refs nowadays and there,s a few of them on the list that should be packed off back to the amateur leagues.

Unfortunately it appears many of them are now refs

[Guest TK-421]

yeah well there will always be inconsistencies whatever the rules say. and I'll say it again - the ball is irrelevant, anubis. you tackle with both feet or follow through with both and you give the ref a decision to make.

You really have no clue what you're on about. TK is wrong but you are just being very silly.

[Guest TK-421]

care to say why you think im wrong with reference to the rules?

[Guest LFD]

The zfulham player wasn't even contesting the ball when J cleared it. Are we outlawing the tackle now in football? You've come up with the same theory as that gobshite failed ,Boro manager came up with.

 

I'm agreeing with you.

 

The law is stupid, but I can't see it being overturned unfortunately.

[navbasi]

"LFC charged by The FA with failing to ensure its players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion, following the dismissal of Spearing..."

 

They are taking the piss out of us now.

[zigackly]

care to say why you think im wrong with reference to the rules?

 

Quote me the one you are referring to, like piscinin failed to do.

[Redexile]

I defy anybody out there to make sliding tackle at pace without one or both feet leaving the ground. Oh and I'm convinced if Dembele hadn't shit out it would not have been an issue. I was always told that you have to commit to the tackle or risk injury.

[zigackly]

It wasn't a sliding tackle.

[Guest TK-421]

Serious foul play.

 

A player is guilty of serious foul play if he uses excessive

force or brutality against an opponent when challenging

for the ball when it is in play.

“Using excessive force” means that the player has far

exceeded the necessary use of force and is in danger of

injuring his opponent.

Any player who lunges at an opponent when

challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or

from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force

and endangering the safety of an opponent, is guilty of

serious foul play.

I would say that Friend applied the bit in bold.

[zigackly]

Serious foul play.

 

Quote what it says, if you claim to know the law.
