I'm gonna go watch a documentary about the WW2 bombing campaign of Munich So when a keeper comes out and kicks a player halfway up the shin it is a dive?! Maybe your own German should learn to score penalties and then you wouldn't have been in that situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) Barely touched him and the cunts doing a Torvil and Dean, absolute fuckin' match killer. Point taken on The Penalty Specialist though Thank fuckin' God they didn't score their one.It was correct in law...Which is the only way that matters end of the day but making a production of it can influence a refs decision. Name of the game I guess, I'm always the first person to stick up for diving from a players perspective, not to say its the right thing to do but i don't blame players who do and I've always professed that so it'd be a cop out of me to sit here now and take lumps out of Robben for it…the bald headed bastard. His head looks like a fuckin' King Edward potato.EDIT: the posting of that photo would be better suited to the day Spurs beat Arsenal, don't ya think?

Tater Totts Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Pretty sure the correct in law part referred to the sending off, not the decision to give it.Was a clear penalty and no way did Robben dive, Szczesny booted him in the leg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tater Totts Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Well Len I was tempted to post the Walcott one but the Szczesny pic was a better fit.Nice to see your bias hasn't clouded your judgement about the penalty or anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Pretty sure the correct in law part referred to the sending off, not the decision to give it.Right but when something is correct in law but it's debateable as to just how committed to it was or whether it was actually him striking out or jus a collision, not that any of that matters cuz once there's contact it's a pen but point being was the contact there worthy of or the entirity of what evoked Robbens reaction? I mean it's like Suarez there other day with young Alex, was there contact, yes but fuck me he startin' doin' the fuckin' worm over it, it was a break dancing competition and things like that can influence a ref, to your benefit and to your detriment, depending on how they see it.I mean you seriously think that what happened there amounts to Szcezeny taking him out? Bollocks. I love how you're latching onto the little aside and completely ignoring the bit where I was basically like i stick up for divers before now so i can't really argue here. A more cynical man might think you were labouring under some form of bias Well Len I was tempted to post the Walcott one but the Szczesny pic was a better fit.Still not really cause for bragging rights from your perspective is it?

Guest Len B'stard Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) Yeah and they needed to effectively cripple City and Arsenal to do it. Seriously, droppin' em down to ten men and then handing out penos for a fuckin' laugh, ridiculous, why don't they just give English teams a new set of fuckin' rules, you gotta play with 8 men, on one foot each with your hands on your head and every goal has to be with your back to the net. I hope whoever wins the fuckin' Champions League this season they're English. If not Arsenal or City then Chelsea.

wasted Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I think reason they gave penalties away is because they were under pressure. Especially City barca were camped in thei half most of the game. Who are Chelsea playing Real? Moron says they hate English clubs he predicted this earlier.

Guest Len B'stard Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Chelsea have got Galatasaray. It's true though innit, every time it's a fuckin' English team people just get carded to fuck. Chelsea had to go the distance on 10 men and all, it's really a travesty, on the one hand you have the supposed best teams in the world, they cop a load of heat on the pitch and then it's cards flying all over the gaff and they get to have a go at shooting fish in a fuckin' barrel. Cuz we play a dirty game over here, yeah, bollocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuz we play a dirty game over here, yeah, bollocks.I've been told English referees are far more lenient when it comes to tough physical collisions than those in the rest of Europe, especially in Southern Europe, so I'm guessing players are used to Premier League football but with referees from outside England they get called out on fouls and carded far more often.

Tater Totts Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Yeah but not like most of the red cards weren't warranted.Terry kneed a Barca played in the back the season they won the CL, the Barca played did make a meal of it but Terry was the one that kneed him and it was a deserved red card.For both the cards this week they were clear goal-scoring opportunities and as a result the cards were justified.I certainly agree though, in the UK we have a culture of getting on with it rather than diving at every opportunity which draws more cards due to flamboyant reactions from the players in question.City seemed tactically naive, Pellegrini wanted City to sit back and absorb the pressure that Barca threw at them but it wouldn't work with De Mechellis in defense as it was proved, what he was doing on the pitch is anyone's guess as he had a mare against Chelsea in the league.Arsenal on the other hand were very unlucky, they dominated the opening exchanges and could have been 3-0 up before they even had the penalty, 4-0 if they had scored it. At times I will admit it is suspicious how UEFA work with their decisions but if the game was fixed surely Arsenal would never have been awarded a penalty and Ozil booked for diving?

Guest Len B'stard Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) Look, no ones saying they're fixed but it's at least an oddly reoccurring curiosity and it's to do specifically with the difference in footballing culture, on the one hand you got fuckin' moaners and on the other hand you've got the get on with it mentality and i'll always side with the latter. And as far as City being tactically naive, thats bollocks, City were matching them straight up, were it not for the card and penalty they were doin' it. I'd love to see Chopper Harris in the modern game Hows that for a tackle? Billy Bremner anyone? Edited February 20, 2014 by sugaraylen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan95 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Tactically naive my arse tater totts. As len says we were matching them and yeah they were camped a lot in our half but up until the penalty I was never actual fearful they had a clear cut chance to score. We were defending admirably and looking more dangerous on the counter attack. Silly mistake from our most lethargic player cost us but to say we were tactically naive is bullshit, tactics don't take into account one of your players doing what he did.

Guest Len B'stard Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Exactly, they was just knocking the ball around the perimeter, there weren't no serious penetrative play going on, they couldn't fuckin' do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tater Totts Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Maybe tactically naive was the wrong choice of words, but the choice to play De Michellis has to be questioned surely?While I can understand soaking up pressure and going on the counter as City did, it only invites trouble as giving Barca so much of the ball is very tiring for the defending team as they have to chase the ball.Believe me I thought City would do well and probably win, if you recall I was talking about putting money on City to win the moment the draw was made but as Bayern showed last year, the way to beat Barca is to attack them and never let them settle which is what City failed to do.

At times I will admit it is suspicious how UEFA work with their decisions but if the game was fixed surely Arsenal would never have been awarded a penalty and Ozil booked for diving?Hell no! They seemed better in the first 20 minutes or so because they had the opening rush that home teams usually have at the beginning of a game and Bayern throughout most of the first half seemed strangely unmotivated when it came to attacking. But Bayern were clearly the better the team. They're just simply on a higher level at this point in time.Tactically naive my arse tater totts.

They have at least 70% possession, they keep passing it around 25 meters from the goal and they look for openings at which point they accelerate towards it. They don't need to get the ball inside the box 10 times, they just need to do it twice. It's incredibly boring to watch but it's been working out for them.
