I’d take a win via a dodgy penalty, three points is three points after all, but it would feel tainted (unless it was against Celtic :wink: )
I hate players diving or trying to con the ref, even if it is my own team. We can’t do anything, but managers can and our respective FA’s could if they wanted to. If a player is accused of diving then – as with situations where player is accused of violent conduct missed by the ref – it should go to a review panel. Then punish both the player and the club.
How come if a manager or player questions how competent the officials are in a post match interview then they can be pulled up for it but it’s different in a match? Some of the reactions we see are clearly signs that the player/manager thinks that the referee/linesman is getting all his decisions wrong, therefore questioning his competence, but that goes unpunished.
Exactly, emma. I’m a Gers fan and grew up watching Brown, Durrant, Gough, Coisty etc. Guys who wore their heart on their sleeve and DID genuinely care about the shirt they wore on a Saturday afternoon and knew what it meant to the paying customer.
If a player has genuine reason to feel hard done by and fights his corner cos he cares, then fair enough but not when it’s only done cos it’s the modern way.
This mentality of ‘Look, he’s done that’ or ‘Look, he pushed me and I fell down – give me something’ is a shame.
If they think that throwing their toys out of the pram shows that they care then they’re sadly mistaken. I’d rather have 11 honest, hard working players who pick themselves up and get on with the game than
any damned day of the week!
Have to agree, though it did liven up a bit in the second half though. Interesting that Jose was harping on about players diving and then good old Drogba put in the effort that you come to expect. I don’t recall hearing him complain either.
Class goal, but Giggs’ wasn’t a goal. Yes, it went over the line but given that his momentum was carrying Cech and ther ball over it couldn’t really be given.
Sorry if I sound insensitive here, but is anyone else getting a bit scunnered by it all? We have the family and the police calling press conferences at the drop of a hat, telling us stuff we already know cos we’ve already seen it on the news. Then during the UEFA Cup Final we get a video. ‘Look, there’s that poor wee girl. It’s sad, isn’t it? Very sad indeed. So sad. Anyhoo, enjoy the game. But remember – it’s very, very, sad’
WE KNOW FFS!!!!!
I’d go for any football commentators who seem to forget that England have to play some games before being crowned World/European champions.
Same goes for English teams in UEFA Cup/Champions League. At least we Scots have low expectations of all our sides so we’re rarely dissapointed!

She went missing “abroad” in my world :lol:
Infact someone mentioned “the algarve”, now I do know thats not a country, but thats about all I do know about whatever the algarve is :D
So maybe I will just stick to my tried and tested excuse of
“She was trying to nick my sweets and car jack me the feral lil scrote, these kids today are totally out of control your honour”
:lol:
“And I just took the opportunity to have an innocent look in her eyes…as you do!”
:lol: Better not laugh OR use emoticons – R.O.T.T might be prowling the forums

LOL, but I’m male, IF I looked that closely at a girl her age I would probably be hauled off on suspicion of being a kiddy fiddler haha
Infact, whats the betting some kiddy fiddlers DO try to use that as an excuse if they get taken to task before doing anything they couldnt explain away
“But your honour, I was only giving her sweets and letting her sit on my lap in the car because I wanted to look closely into her eyes to see if she was that girl who went missing in Spain I was”
Excellent point that uber. But didn’t she go missing in Portugal? That really wouldn’t stand up in court :!:
I noticed in one of today’s papers, the headline was ‘Look into her eyes’ with a picture of her eyes across the middle of the page. So I did, not really knowing why, assuming it was maybe a guilt trip that we all had to suffer even though it’s nothing to do with us, but apprently it’s cos she has a blemish in one of her eyes – which I still took time to notice even after I read it. So it must be even more difficult to notice in passing.
Strikes me as clutching at straws, they’re concerned that her abductor may have changed her appearance. In which case, there could be loads of wee girls out there who have a similar blemish in an eye who might be Maddie, is the theory to report every single one that’s seen on the off chance?
And I thought we had drifted way off topic earlier with the debate over the rights and wrongs of parenting, but this is something else entirely! At least that had some sort of bearing on the initial topic and went somewhere in terms of discussion
But I love the fact that uber is still putting up a fight over it :!:
Sorry, I forgot that you have issues with emoticons. Sorry again – I forgot that I really don’t give a :!: :?: :!: :?:
