Weekends other games

[FoxForceFive]

Watching West Ham spurs.

Kaboul just sent off for fouling downing as last man, outside the area.

65 minutes to play with ten men.

 

[Hansern]

I'm hungover to death.

Will be watching all 3 games. The City game will be massive.

1-0 Carroll

 

[FoxForceFive]

1-0 West Ham, header from Carroll on a corner, flicked off Harry kanes head.

 

[refugee]

Downing is tearing them apart...

 

[jimmy]

A cheeky bid for Downing to come back home? 😉

 

[refugee]

Great save by Lloris

 

[peterhague]

Another game ruined by an early red card. Admittedly not the most exciting of games, anyway, but still.

What exactly is the point of them? They should be replaced by retrospective punishment.

 

[refugee]

Downing scores from a free kick. Awful wall

 

[Hansern]

2-0 Downing

If I were a Spurs player I would tear Paulinho and Adebayor a new one for lining up like that.

 

[RedZeppelin III]

right , if i was manager of spurs there i'd be subbing paulinho and adebayor straight away . disgraceful . Someone get that gif of the young girl taking it in the head to show them how you're meant to stand in a wall .

Everton can relax. They'll be in Europe evev if they lose to city. 🙁

That's karma for Sherwood cravenly relying on the scumbag Adebayor earlier on in the season.

I don't think it would be a bad move for Hodgson to bring Carroll to the World Cup.
Sturridge and Rooney will go along with two or three other average/decent strikers.
I am not particularly a fan of Andy or the type of football that he excels in.
However you know that when under pressure to score England will start pumping balls into the box (as do most teams)
So why not have a player like Carroll to bring on for those final minutes that will scare the sht out of most defenses

Couldn't disagree more. Professional fouls that prevent probable/potential goals need to be severely punished and in theory the potential punishment should be a deterrent in itself. However it should be up to the ref to decide if the foul was serious enough to warrant a sending off, it shouldn't be compulsory for the ref to have to flash Red.


I do believe though that Sin-Bins a la rugby should be introduced (as I think they eventually will be) as they would give the referees more leeway and options on how to punish a serious foul without having to resort to issuing a red card and potentially unbalancing an important match.

Barca bid for Downing.

The best punishment for a professional foul would be a penalty.

Anything else could be dealt with after the match. Apart from not ruining the game that would have the added benefit of directly punishing the individual responsible rather than the rest of their team mates.

Jordan Ibe having a stormer for Birmingham after coming off the bench according to Alan McNally on SSN

 

[King Binny]

Looks like Birmingham could be relegated.

 

[the count]

Jordan Ibe man of the match even though he has only played thirty minutes

 

[King Binny]

Brighton have scored in stoppage time at Forest to lead 2-1, moving into 6th place (last play off spot) at the expense of Reading!

 

[the count]

Brum saved.
Well done Jordan

 

[Modo]

Ibe played a vital role in that goal that kept Birmingham up.

 

[King Binny]

Birmingham have equalised in stoppage time too. Doncaster occupying 3rd last spot cos of poorer goal difference!

 

[Hansern]

Brighton have scored in stoppage time at Forest to lead 2-1, moving into 6th place (last play off spot) at the expense of Reading!

Yeah, I'm watching that game actually. Brighton with a goal in the 92nd minute.
Great cross from Mackaill-Smith who has been injured for most of the season.

 

[Hansern]

Championship play off semis

QPR - Wigan

Derby - Brighton

Congrats to my bro @IbeJordon

deserve it !!

 

[RedZeppelin III]

downing is funny with his right foot , when he has to do anything with it he takes like 5mins to steady himself .

Always been a part of the game i've never understood , how some pros really struggle with their weaker foot . I mean what do they in training everyday ? When i was a kid i used to play lots of "3 and in" when i only allowed myself to play with my weak foot and it got alot better . It had to or i would have been "in" my whole life. "Oi downing , get down the green for some "3 and in" you numpty ! "

 

[Hansern]

Sandro is so shockingly poor.
All he does is trying to look like biker or some bad ass Colombian drug lord and then scare the opposition to death.
