I’m sorry to say but at fault twice against manure. Never tries to go past anyone, overweight, slow, out of form the perfect Martinez reason to play him.
Jones on the otherhand , worked his nuts off over the Christmas period , get’s dropped.
So the RB rule is , play shiitt your in.
His problem yesterday was that he was trying to take players on. Instead of putting the early ball in and testing De Gea he kept trying to get past Ashley Young and obviously failing miserably.
No shame getting outclassed by the top team in the league with a reserve team that would beat our first.Thats the Premier league isn’t it competitive to the last ……..notCorrect. We just need to forget about it and move on.
and as for the 4,000 tossers in the north stand.It’s not a wonder we lost. At one point they had 12 Cantonas, 12 George Bests, Cristiano Ronaldo, Ole Solskjaer, Ruud Van Nistelrooy and some bloke called Robin Van Persie. Didn’t see him on the pitch.
What were all the plane gestures about? Imagine the uproar if we had done that to them!!!! Reminded me of scousers today.
Returning to the subject of rugby league, in my four years of going to Club Wembley, I couldn’t give away the Challenge Cup Final game. I’ve found no takers for these either amongst our customers or the 120 odd people in our office.If you still have them then give me a shout and I’ll have them off you ;)
His chasing down players and enthusiastic running has all but gone now. I say all but gone because he didn’t half move when he had to go off !I think that was the furthest he ran all game.
Was told recently that we’ve had six penalties given against us this season (more than any other club) but i can only think of 5. Arsenal, Newcastle, Everton, Stoke & Chelsea. Have i missed one and if so which one is it.
All bar the Newcastle one have been at home which would suggest we are a dirty side! Totally the opposite i would say, if anything we are a bit too soft at times so why so many against us? If it carries on at this rate we’ll have had Ten by the end of the season…
Law of averages means we must be due to good decision soon? If not then i’ll gladly accept a dodgy one :cheer:
United away, Ali saved it[/quote]
Of course, i should have guessed really!!
I’d love a dodgy call against them tomorrow not least to ruin his post birthday celebrations but to see Sir Tantrum go off on one again. Especially if it won us the game :silly:[/quote]
We technically got one last year with the corner so I expect us to get f*ck all.
They DID sell practically all of the available tickets. It’s just that some of them weren’t used by the sponsors and VIPs. As part of the sponsorship deals (which cost £millions) the sponsors got an allocation of tickets and/or the right to buy further tickets. They then offered/gave them to VIPs, competition winners, top customers, empoyees, etc.The sponsors also had the ability to trade tickets with each other throughout the games.
After the first couple of days LOCOG also got sponsors to return tickets when they knew they wouldn’t get used (right up to hours before each event). These were then used by others (Games Makers, armed services, etc.) or sold to the public.
Be honest, when you watched it all on TV how many empty seats did you actually see?
There didn’t seem many for the athletics but why would there be? The side shows seemed quite empty at times though.
Just look at Wembley with the Club Wembley seats. Some money bags buys a 10 year ticket but only goes to the big events. His tickets could be sold to the events he isn’t arsed about but of course Wembley/The FA don’t care as they have the money anyway. Balls to the actual fans of the sport.
First post of 2013. Happy New Year folks.
ps – I’m not sad enough to be sat in, I’m actually working.
So you would think they would want to SELL all of the available tickets rather than GIVE them to people who don’t turn up.
Those Olympic tickets could have been sold 10x over.
The difference in rugby (and tennis, cricket, nfl etc) is that the game is stopped at the time of the incident and a video ref can be used.
In football with goal line incidents and the Maloney one at Villa, the game carries on and could carry on for 4 minutes as it did against Arsenal with the Di Santo incident. All that time would have to be replayed if the official went back and awarded a penalty so we’d be there all night. It just wouldn’t work.
The only technology that football can use is for goal line incidents and it MUST be instant.
