[Wembley Red]

Hope Arsenal win so it doesnt give Villa much incentive at all.

 

[Number7]

As if Liverpool are going to be top by this evening

Madness

 

[SharkyMcShark]

And just as I'm getting ready for the Rovers v Spurs match my pa comes in and demands to watch a doco on Janis Joplin.

Maybe he'll be gone in the time it takes me to go out and get some takeaway

 

[R.N7]

No wonder Blackburn are doing so poorly when they play Mokoena and Warnock in cente midfield.

As in Steven Warnock, former Liveprool Left Back?

 

[R.N7]

As in Steven Warnock, former Liveprool Left Back?

Correct.

 

[Brwned]

Warnock's been one of their best players under Allardyce, and Mokoena's not a regular for Blackburn.

 

[R.N7]

Penalty to Spurs

 

[B Cantona]

Doesn't Walton just get on your tits?

The Blackburn players are screaming at him, the ball isn't on the fecking spot. He can see it's not on the spot. But he just doesn't do anything about it

He's just absolutely fecking useless. Blackburn fans don't consider him fit to referee. I concur

 

[vanthaman]

Walton is by far the worst ref in the league

 

[SharkyMcShark]

This is a distinctly boring match.

 

[Ballache]

ah!! the PL is back!!!! feels nice.

 

[relx]

Samba is playing as a striker now

 

[Skelter]

Blackburn are fecking awful to watch, wouldn't mind them going down.

 

[Makki]

Walton just ran all the way to the corner flag to make sure the ball was in place

 

[Scholesy]

We must sign Luka.

 

[relx]

Mokoena is a cnut

 

[Pogue Mahone]

We must sign Luka.

We won't.

However, you must shut the feck up about him.

It's really quite annoying.

 

[Spammy]

Palacios looks to have fitted in well.

 

[Scholesy]

We won't.

However, you must shut the feck up about him.

It's really quite annoying.

How are you so sure?

 

[Ballache]

We won't.

However, you must shut the feck up about him.

It's really quite annoying.

he's better than Scholes you know

 

[Spammy]

We won't.

However, you must shut the feck up about him.

It's really quite annoying.

Maybe you didn't hear...?

You must sign Luka!

 

[Spammy]

Keith Andrews...

If this guy can be a premier league player, so can I!

 

[Anderson Searl]

We must sign Luka.

At it again

 

[Solius]

Blackburn look shit.

Lack of ideas, long throws, an old man in midfield, Keith Andrews.

Boring stuff.

 

[B Cantona]

Walton just ran all the way to the corner flag to make sure the ball was in place

You fancy someone had a work with him at half time eh?!

He's fecking dire. I hate it when I see we have him. It's not that he's bad (even though he's bad), it's that he's actually incompetent

I like to defend my referee's, but it's wasted on him

 

[Top]

We must sign Luka.

Yeah, he's the new Scholes on that left wing.
You're such a tard.

 

[Makki]

Palacios off, stupid second challenge just a minute after being booked for the first time.. Could be an interesting last 10.

 

[B Cantona]

Palacios sent off, I didn't entirely see it was cooking, I'm pretty sure he slipped on his arse though

Penalty shout for Blackburn

Goal for Blackburn! McCarthy!

 

[relx]

1-1 McCarthy

 

[Spammy]

Well done officials. They've evened the scores now.

 

[Makki]

Penalty shout for Blackburn

Goal for Blackburn! McCarthy!

Looks like he fell over and made contact with the other player, but he was always going into the challenge anyway..

 

[Makki]

Samba the forward with the assist

 

[Spammy]

It wasn't worthy of a yellow.

 

[samabachan]

We must sign Luka.

If I were you I'd leave and never come back.

 

[B Cantona]

It's not about what he would have done Makki, it's what he did do

I'll need to see it again. From what I saw he got sent off for losing his footing

I'd give the ref the benefit of the doubt, but... Walton

With the same logic you could say it's not why he did it but what he did. He stopped the opposing player who was on his way to a good position, albeit due to slipping/losing balance.

Yes so you give a foul

You send him off it if was worthy of a second yellow. If he has simply slipped on his arse, that aint worthy

If the foul is deemed cynical (ie stopping a good chance for the opposition) it doesn't matter if it's deliberate or due to losing your balance and falling in the way of the player.

You could argue that it's not worthy of a second yellow, but my instant reaction was "yellow", so I'll stick to the ref getting this one right.
