Jesus. That referee has just been conned, badly. Awful, awful decision to give that.
What a stupid penalty to give away. Not that I have the slightest problem with it.
Thuram knocks Pablo down from behind
bollocks
Now come on. You really think that challenge knocked him over? Fucking hell the world's gone mad.
Thing is, as soon as the tackle went in and the player dropped, you just knew it was gonna result in a peno!
He hacked his legs.
He went down in 3 stages!!
It was a clumsy looking challenge, from behind. He didn't really leave the ref much of a choice.
You think it was a hard enough challenge for him to go down? Honestly? I don't believe that for a second.
Pablo had both feet planted on the ground..Thuram rushed up from behind and kicked him plus he put his hands on his back....you decide
I did. He cheated. Yes there was contact but not enough to push him over, not even close.
I don't believe it was a foul. He certainly wouldn't have gone over in any other area of the pitch and so it wouldn't have been given as a foul.
And for James' next seminar..."How man did not land on the moon"
Now sod off J and let me wallow in this
I thought you were Welsh Mexican?El Boyo
Balotelli, Falcao, Cavani...I'll be shocked if it's anyone other Etoo. Etoo or no-one. Simples. In fact, I'll do you all a favor and ban myself from the January transfer window forum if we get anyone other than Etoo.
