Weston Super Saint

Or our 'potent' strike force

You've taken a rather peculiar hill on which to make a stand. The rules for giving a penalty are very clear and rely on the player commiting an offence inside the penalty area that would ordinarily result in a direct free kick. The rules governing a direct free kick can be found here but include : Your previous assertion that any single Newton being exerted is incorrect as the offence MUST be either careless, reckless or have excessive force. Since DCC wasn't sent off, we can rule out 'excessive force' (but honestly, anyone with functioning eyes and any measure of common sense could see there was no excessive force!). Given that DCC received a yellow card, we can assume that the ref ruled out careless and went with reckless. The FA's definition of reckless states the player must act with 'disregard to the danger to, or consequences for, an opponent'. The pertinent word here is 'danger'. What 'danger' was there and what were the 'consequences' of DCC's limp wristed backhand slap? At most there would be a small crease on the shirt! The ref got the decision wrong, plain and simple. The fact that DCC reacted is irrelevant, I think we all agree that he shouldn't have, but equally we can all see that there was no 'foul' committed and the ref fucked the decision up. I'm all for following the rules, but they need to be applied as they are written and not made up on the spot.

It's clear in the rule book that you are not allowed to tug someone's shirt, you're not allowed to pull someone's arm. You don't appear to be trumpeting all the times that happened during the game (from both sides) and demanding that free kicks and penalties were given for each occasion no matter how many Newtons were exerted. I haven't seen you moaning about the push from the Chelsea player on Salisu and demanding a red card be given when he was walking slowly off the pitch - plenty of Newtons dished out there but your silence is telling.

Is football now a non contact sport? Perhaps they should run around with little tags on their shorts and give the ball over if they have one taken off.

Is there not an argument that by diving on the floor like he'd been shot, he should have been booked for simulation?

What nuances actually existed in your one word post that he responded to. Absolutely actually fucking deluded.

Yeah, that one wasn't wrong though...

Me too.

Is anyone going to admit that basing our player recruitment on XfuckingG hasn't worked quite the way the spreadsheet said it would?

And yet, on the Selles thread you are baying for his head because he's not able to win matches. You're all over the place and need to make your mind up whether it's the three successive managers that are the problem, or the spineless players from whom "you still struggle to think of a a starting eleven that could win a Premier League match."

If it ain't on borriersaint's twitter feed, it doesn't exist.

I got a leaflet for pizza hut delivery yesterday 😎

We'll haggle. We'll lose the haggle battle. He will have to stay.

The good news though is that there is nothing stopping borriersaint fucking off back to Northern Ireland now so he can stop moaning about England.

Plus it's live on 'free' TV so is accessible to everyone.

How can something / someone be 'developed a bit', yet still be no different to what it / they were previously? That makes no sense at all. Either he's developed and got better (I believe he has), or he hasn't.

It's an 'ironic' moniker now, nothing to be embarrased about.

Lavia?

Does it still take into account the subjective consideration of the tagger?
