League of Injustice

[Frogfish]

I don't know if anyone else follows this but personally I think it's a great idea for a paper to publish each week.

Jeff Winter (ex EPL ref.) gives his take on controversial decisions / talking points in the EPL each week and adds goals / detracts them depending on how he sees it. Just a bit of fun but interesting all the same. Here's the link and the latest table : http://www.sportingpreview.com/loi/0910000i.php

What the fuck

 

[gkmacca]

Don't understand that. Is it a league of the most unjust teams, or the teams most unjustly treated, or just nonsense? I thought this was going to be a new Marvel Comics saga with Jeff Winter as a maladjusted super hero who turns into an irritating bluebottle and peeps 'Offside!' in criminals' ears.

It's Winter's version of how the league table would look if every reffing or disciplinary decision had been correct all season so far.

The effect is somewhat reduced by the fact that Winter himself was a vain, self-promoting numpty who made more than his share of bad decisions, but it is an interesting idea.

 

[gkmacca]

Winter is one of those people who just has a look about him that suggests he comes out of the loo and always says, 'I'd leave it an hour or so if I were you...' Other figures who suggest the same: Paul Scholes, Igor Biscan, Robbie Savage, Steve Sidwell and TV's Nick Knowles.

Kenneth Clarke's another. I've seen him at reasonably close quarters and that's EXACTLY how he looks.

"Joe Benitez". Note to Rafa: get a better pseudonym.

Ha ha! Have you heard of that infamous story about the political hack who used to 'embellish' his expense claims with lavish imaginary lunches? He finally looked as though he'd been caught out when his editor summoned him in and said, 'Er, I see you took Ken Clarke out to lunch at the Ivy last Friday. I thought that was a bit odd because I took him out to lunch last Friday at the Wolsey'. Quick as a flash, the hack replied, 'The greedy bastard!

 

[nealmac]

And how does he know what the proper outcome should be? Does he actually sit and analise every single league match?

 

[Judge Jules]

He certainly analised every one he refereed.

Cracking. ;D

Edit: I should have added to the above "..., plus you can see he'd be decidedly pleased with himself about it all".

Jeff Winter is now available for showbiz and corporate engagements. He is a very versatile act. He can...

brandish a red card while dressed as a ref:

brandish a red card AND a yellow card while dressed in casual clothes in a confined space:

or, for a small surcharge, Jeff will happily brandish a red card while standing next to one of your colleagues or potential clients:

Jeff also tells two amusing stories about being a referee, and he can gargle water to the tune of 'Awimaway' or 'Paperback Writer' (although he has been known to choke during the latter).

Ah, fair enough.

But what about all the wrong decisions that don't get talked about?

We have gained a point, probably for the penalty claim on Voronin vs Spurs. Nothing else to report.

It's just a bit of fun .. they are not actually going to switch the Premiership Trophy to another team if they happen to top this league but not win the one that matters - lighten up ;D

Give it up. I've explained this before, outside of the UK it's known as the EPL. It's going to slip out from time to time, even though I try to remember to say PL instead, so you might as well accept it 😉

Sorry, I'm rather drunk. 🙂
