Wymsey Posted 28 October 2018 Share Posted 28 October 2018 (edited) Could a minutes' silence take place before the games kick-off today after the tragedy yesterday? Would surely be like right thing to do. Edited 28 October 2018 by Wymeswold fox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Mowbray is the best MOTD commentator Pearce is the worst but Mowbray isn’t much use either. Gets basic historical facts wrong and can’t project his voice properly which is a bit of a problem for a commentator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been on the end of enough crooked decisions in the recent past that I just don't care anymore, if the ref has missed it, fine, get better refs in. Until then, I'll take our goal and off we go. It's not the players role to officiate the game. Edited 28 October 2018 by Mike20166 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a woman who used to do that at Arsenal every time the opposition had a shot. Annoyed the bejeesus out of me. Imagine sitting in front of that!

A bit of integrity, sportsmanship and honesty wouldn’t go amiss, it was clearly cheating and intentional I certainly wouldn’t use the weakness of a ref or defend in any way a player of a team I support cheating like that.

Shameful. No, but it easy to use single incidents as weapons against a club you have a disdain for, i wont comment on that. I don't like to see it personally, but I stress it is the officials job to referee the match, not the players job to self police themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly why I don't get my knickers in a twist when we get the odd dodgy decision our way. Officiating in the modern day is a free for all, there is no consistency.

It’s not the it’s up to the ref that gets me it’s when it’s just deliberate cheating it’s not even some sort of instinctive reaction his arm was up there deliberately. Now it looks like a 2 footed Zaha dive for a penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
