Challenge this imbecile to both a public IQ test and a debate. If he truly believes the rubbish he's spouting, he'd jump at the chance.

Unfortunately, Carragher, like most football commentators/pundits, hasn't the faintest clue about the LotG. It's a sad state of affairs.

How close Diaz was to regaining possession is irrelevant. Tripping an opposition player is a foul. If it happens inside your own 18-yard box, it's a penalty. It's an open-and-shut case.

Well, according to their PR/marketing people, a lot of people actually HAVE bought it. So, horses for courses, eh?

I'm not sure how much room for imagination there is in designing a primary strip for a club with a set colour scheme and some fixed elements.....white with dark and light blue trim and a single, central hoop. The imaginative/weird (depending on your perspective) should be reserved for the away/3rds.

They even stuck an orca motif in, the bastards!

I quite like the overall look of the full strip, but why are the shorts numbers so big?

The guidance on advantage is clear. Referees are discouraged from playing advantage in a situation where a second yellow would be shown. The same incompetence cost us in the first leg against Spurs.

Well, you told me, I guess. 🙄

Are you such a cultural troglodyte that you can't enjoy any art that isn't targeted specifically to you?

How many locations are left that still do car service? I believe the one on Lougheed Hwy and Gilmore in N Burnaby has ceased, or will be soon.*

Not sure about your take, here, mate.
They played very well. We played better. The better team won.

The second yellow for Rice and the red last week were dubious. The rest are just shit that Arsenal weirdos are crying about 'cause they'd convinced themselves that this was their year and can't accept that their team and manager just haven't been good enough.
comment in response to
post
All but 2 of the refereeing decisions that you're crying about were 100% correct. Every other team can point to 2, or more, errors against them, as well.
I guess only Arsenal players were at the Euro, though, so there's that, I guess. 🙄

You have to think they'd be prepared to offer £40-50m for Kelleher, who'd be their best 'keeper since Courtois.

Does Barry Sanders not exist in your world?

So, it seems that you think you know more about Slot's opinions than Arne himself. Read his own words about Darwin. Word of warning, though. His quotes strongly suggest that people like you are pretty clueless about what actually happens in football matches.

No refereeing conspiracies today, then?

If I'm thinking of the same incident, I didn't think it was a pen. I did think the officiating in the game pretty atrocious overall, though.

Who said anything about being cool with it?
Todd Bertuzzi did a very stupid thing. He was punished for it professionally,criminally, and in civil court. I'm satisfied with that.
It's not a matter of being pro-violence. I'm just pro-honesty.
comment in response to
post
To be fair, Steve Moore suffered serious injuries in the incident. There's no need to lie about the seriousness of those injuries to make the point about Bertuzzi's actions. Doesn't stop you, though, does it?
comment in response to
post
I suspect that it wasn't a mistake, but a knowing lie. Even 'broken neck' is a bit disingenuous, a line constantly pushed by the Colorado Avalanche at the time 'cause it was much more evocative than saying he had a slight crack in a single vertebrae.

Amazing that he was able to train while paralysed, don't you think?
comment in response to
post
Whom did Todd Bertuzzi paralyse?
comment in response to
post
He was sick through the week and it was decided he wasn't up to starting. Good for young Rio, and, considering he was still able to break his Reds' duck off the bench, fine for Chiesa, too.

Didn't take too long, did it? Land of the free and home of the extremely litigious, I guess.

Just be happy that they're actually reporting it, I think?
comment in response to

This is clearly a rubbish position that can be refuted simply by looking at all past yellows shown by this referee for reckless fouls. They're lying to cover up their obvious error in application of the LotG.
comment in response to
post
I'm firmly of the belief that the referee and his team realised that they fucked up pretty quickly and have reached for the excuse that it was only a SPA booking, rather than a reckless tackle. They are claiming that the tackle didn't meet the bar for a cautionon its own merit, regardless of SPA.

You've been listening to Ange's rubbish, haven't you?

Need 3 first team FBs in the summer....2 LB and 1 RB.
Trent looked like he was deliberately trying to tank the game and Robbo's stupidity at the end cannot be excused.

Ugarte has committed 2-3 bookable offences, himself, without seeing a card.
To be fair, Virgil could have easily seen one, too, but got away with it.

Arsenal went through the last 2 seasons with next to no significant injuries, but still didn't hit 90+. Everyone gets injuries. Not many cry quite so much about it as online Arsenal supporters.

The insufferable and conspiratorial stuff seems to have only gone into overdrive in the Arteta era, though.
comment in response to
post
I lived in London for 4 years during the late Wenger, then Emery eras. Arsenal are definitely the biggest club in the city, but too many of their supporters verge on bipolar. Every win had them declaring themselves as the best in the world. Every loss and they were ready to jump off the roof.
comment in response to
post
For elite talent to accept playing agricultural football, they usually require some certainty of success as a trade off. However, Arsenal under Arteta aren't exactly stuffing the closet with trophies. It's possible to win stuff while playing attractive football, especially at AFC's financial level.

Except for Arsenal's travelling supporters, who cheered when Rodri got injured?

Didn't he agree six months earlier, and that's what pissed off Southampton so much? #Blackpool

Two minutes added in the first half is up there with the worst refereeing decisions this season. The officials choosing to be complicit in Leicester's shameless time wasting.

I disagree with you on this. My experience has been that most Australian cricket fans have a delusional view of their team and the behaviour of their players. The ones I've spoken with tend to be bang into the antics of their players, but want to police what's acceptable behaviour by everyone else.

I don't deny that VK acted like a dickhead. I'm happy to have that conversation with you. As I said before. 🙂

So, you're just happy living in that glass house without an ounce of self-awareness. Got it.
comment in response to

I'm not Indian. I'm Canadian. I have lived in Australia for 2 decades. I'm happy to listen to Indians, or the English, or the Kiwis, talk about what a dickhead VK was this morning. I would agree with them 100%. I just can't stomach the hypocritical BS from any Aussies. Anyone else, no problem.

I suspect that it's just that you're smart enough to realise that you've just illustrated my point perfectly.

So you admit that Australian cricketers have no business talking about anybody else's levels of sportsmanship, then?
comment in response to
post
Whatever he did, or didn't, do, Australians should have a modicum of self-awareness and just shut up about sportsmanship. For 5 decades, Australian cricket has consistently been where class and dignity has gone to die. Give it a rest until you sort yourselves out.
comment in response to

For fuck sake. Here's an opportunity for a whole lot of Australians to cry about sportsmanship as if Australian cricketers have ever known the meaning of the word.
