Id take it as a compliment... Well.. I wouldnt personally, Id probably punch someone in the face but you get my point. As for the chants at football Id say it was an attempt at banter and isnt anything at all prejudiced as such, just misplaced attempts at humour. 'Get your tits out for the lads' was probably slightly funny once, for about 10 seconds. Its neither original or funny now which is why its sung by morons. I wouldnt say because of this chant that football is sexist though.

The only thing Ive learned from this thread is that lou has nice tits, which is a shame, I think Chants are made up at football in an effort to be humorous, unfortunately a lot of the time it ends up being offensive, and not humorous. I imagine its because its a male dominated sport with historically little female participation which has changed recently. Sexism in society is a different matter but Id argue that most prejudices seem to be fading thankfully.

Typically today, was subjected to a shin high challenge which resulted in a bit of a flair up, that only got a free kick for and that shattered by shin pad (they were old), thankfully my foot wasnt planted. Then the ref went on to book two of their players for leaving the field without permission and one for taking his shirt off. I questioned the ref after, which made matters worse as he admitted he got it wrong and should've sent him off !!

Both got 6 games, cissè got 7 for previous

The injured player was forced to retire aged 25, personally that sort of tackle deserves GBH jail time as you cannot tell me that he couldnt control his tackle to stop his leg hitting him mid shin. Ive tackled a lot in my time, and never had an issue keeping my feet down. Its dispicable.

Spitting or this ? http://bit.ly/1CGx7hT

County level unfortunately is still reffed by some pretty terrible referees. I remember being booked for a perfectly valid challenge as 'apparantly' I showed a bit too much intent, I wasnt the only booking, there were around 8-10 I think aswell as a couple of reds. Even the opposition didnt understand it and agreed it wasnt even a foul. But I agree, Ive had my fair share of injuries, and being spat at doesnt last as long
-
Its bloody disgusting, and Id probably chin anyone that did it to me tbh Though, is it worse than a blatant knee high challenge ?
-
?? So ? Mistakes happen, Fonte nearly cost us a goal and a penalty, Pellè missed the target again, yoshi made a mistake. Schneiderlins poor pass contributed to one of the liverpool goals. It seems some just need a scapegoat and unfortunately its JWP or Forster right now, despite JWPs obvious talents. And btw, despite your question in a past Forster thread questioning whether he had a poor save to shot ratio, which was answered in Forsters favour you've not bothered coming back... I suppose you've found someone else to 'blame'

Why wouldnt it be ?

can we not get a loan striker in for the final push for europe?
Smirking_Saint replied to Mr X's topic in The Saints
He looks reasonably decent, but we have depth in those positions. It was pretty obvious we could've done with another player. Longs cost is pretty redundant as if he isnt performing then he should be replaced. For arhuements sake Id drop Pellè if we had adequate replacements tbh. Im not going to slam the club for not getting anyone in however, as Im sure they were aware of the issue and realistically I couldnt name anyone achieveable for us to sign in the Jan window. As for the loan and who to loan. Firstly I cant believe people still get the rules wrong amd finally, in response to LLL, I think its relevant asking 'who' we could loan is, as it shows the lack of obvious options out there. -

Ive noticed Mr X just likes a bit of a winge tbh -
Looking through the side I think confidence is just shot. Fonte who is pretty much mr consistant made two big errors, clyne isnt hitting the heights he was. Pellè is struggling, elia and tadic arent as troublesome as before. I like JWP a lot, dont understand the criticism tbh, pre injury he looked v good. And technically he is excellent. But he looks a bit out of sorts to me. Hopefully last nights win acts to galvanise the squad
-
No idea, wasnt even a particularly bad strike. And he had to get to the ball and strike it with his weak foot under pressure. Poor lad is damned if he does and damned if he doesnt.
-
Did you see the shot ? Decent effort from his wrong foot you utter moron
-
Good old glasgow

Any streams work for Iphones ?

If your not very good at shooting from range then effectively you just give the ball back to an opposition happy to just try to stop us playing. Unfortunately we arent very good at shooting, and so it may be the case that they are being asked to be more conservative. Realistically long shots at this level need to be very good though. For me its the full bavks not being on form recently and the wide men coming inside as opposed to trying to get behind.
-
He isnt exactly injury prone tbh, he has had a few injuries this year but in general has had a pretty consistant run overall. As for form, his last game before injury was Utd, within which he was excellent. He wasnt at his best against liverpool but I certainly didnt see him being particularly poor. Quite away ahead of young Reed right now, who apart from having incredible industry and tenacity simply isnt expansive enough yet
-
You'd be hard pressed to say the don made many wrong decisions considering how far he took us. He was a monumental **** however, which is where I believe the difference is
-
If you dont know how to strike a ball or keep composure by this point in their career they are in trouble Besides, Id imagine its confidence based
-
Id personally hazard a guess our top earners are on more than what FM purports, as those wages are pretty low by pl standards
-
Maybe there just wasnt anybody out there worth bringing in ?! We dont know the state of the FFP finances either, I think we all realise that not having back up for Pellè isnt a good thing, but thats not to say there wasnt a reason for not getting somebody in. Realistically who is there ? That clubs would be willing enough to release in Jan ? I cant think of many that wouldnt be overpriced, and thats just not our way at all.
-
He doesnt want to come south
-
Personally I dont think his finishing has changed much at all tbh The chances and possession are based mainly on the opposition realising we are a threat and getting organised to compensate. Id like to see us change things a bit, take more risks and be quicker in possession
