Well forgive more people for taking an interest in a game that has a relevance on the title race

more to the point is the overall standard of officiating. it has been atrocious in recent weeks. from Cisse's offside goal last week, to Chelsea's yesterday, and now this, it simply isn't good enough. the sad truth is that officials are untouchable. the same ones that make these terrible mistakes will be on the pitch officiating next week. if football and referreeing associations want players and managers to take more responsibility, then the least they can do is take responsibility themselves when they fúck up. but we all know they won't

You make a good points but this is really the wrong thread!

I'd get another ban for this if i was allowed post in the soccer forum in fairness. Freedom of speech isn't promoted there

Bit disappointed with Valencia all the same. Maybe he's feeling the heat with Nani back on the scene

carlcon · 08-04-2012 2:49pm

Back to the game... should I be getting worried that United haven't put QPR to bed yet? Could really do with more from Rooney.

Maggie McGaggie · 08-04-2012 2:51pm

Welbeck is costing me points here. Should have scored, would have been an assist from my captain rooney. Chico would have scored.Giggs on for Young 60 minutes

RB100 · 08-04-2012 2:52pm

REALLY need Valencia to do something for me since my rival has Young

A few were talking about getting Raphael in. I wonder if they went with it. I'd have him too, but only if you could have about 5 players from one team.

C'mon dude, you know what I mean. You made 3 posts in the space of a few minutes referring to the "disgraceful decision", the "referee being in the pocket", and how Young should be "ashamed".

These gems mostly come out when United play, and we all know it. Doesn't matter whether it's a cup game, the first match of the season, or in the title run-in. If "the point is the overall standard of officiating", then you're entitled to that point. But what you've said was not referring that point - it was blatantly suggesting corruption and cheating from refs and United players. Which is just silly.

Some officials have been pretty awful at times this season - can't argue with that. But surely that's best fought out over in the soccer forum?

<snip> Scholes goal 2-0 now. Rafael with the assist

Mod edit: Watch what you say about other boardsies.

Jax Teller · 08-04-2012 3:00pm

Rafael could be worth a look . Think he 3 assists in his last few games and a good few bonus points .

Jax Teller · 08-04-2012 3:01pm

Cleverley on for Scholes and Jones on for Raphael. Roo and Val get 90mins.

Aguero fit and Balotelli playing! Changes my views on this game now. I fancied a fairly handy win for Arsenal. Not so confident now. Mostly because of Aguero... Bal will always be a liability.

Big Val let me down:(

Look Manual man.... this is completely the wrong thread. And whiners like you giving out about refs and the likes always get on my nerves simply because there is no need to whine, it won't change their decision and it wont change the way game is today.

I've no idea how i made it personal. I just assume you were banned in the soccer forum because you give out about refs and bad decisions so much.

carlcon · 08-04-2012 3:19pm

"De Gea just touched the ball for the first time of the game in the 92nd minute" - BBC commentator.

I think Evans' clean sheet was pretty much safe today. :pac:

carlcon · 08-04-2012 3:21pm

FT. What odds will I get on Rooney, Young, and Evans getting the 3, 2, and 1 BPs?

I'm not gonna apologize for having passion. while all you do is whine about other people, or make smarmy comments like you're superior or something. get a grip on yourself

Not even on the bench, well thats my GW over then. 43 points, plus 8 on the bench, plus bonuses.

08-04-2012 3:33pm

Pretty poor week so far, 37 with RvP and Theo to play

Now to see if my captain gamble works...

Come on Theo! :pac:

manual_man · 08-04-2012 3:33pm

50 points with a few boni to come I should think. VP just left to play (as does, I guess, everyone). Seriously thinking of shipping Val so i can get Rafael in! (though I probly won't)

shangri la · 08-04-2012 3:34pm

Lads i read this forum on my mobile which makes the bickering 1000 times worse.

manual man... Its not the soccer forum.

Jax Teller · 08-04-2012 3:40pm

Few Rvp goals and a clean sheet for vermealen and I'll be happy

carlcon · 08-04-2012 3:41pm

Silva is injured, not dropped... for those who care.

Has to biggest down-turn in form and FF performance of the season.

grohlisagod · 08-04-2012 3:50pm

Fatrat and Manual Man. Stop the bickering please. It makes for awful reading. Truce?

alchemist33 · 08-04-2012 3:51pm

A good if unspectacular performance from my United players. Now for Captain RVP and his sidekick Power Theo to cut loose.

SpaceCowb0y · 08-04-2012 3:55pm

Chances of an off form RVP bagging me a hat-trick to save my GW....:pac::pac:

...F*CK!

DazzlerIE · 08-04-2012 3:57pm

No need for the bickering lads, especially from two great posters

leave it out

eh i dunno · 08-04-2012 3:58pm

53 with RVP to play. Expecting a few bonus points for Rooney(c) and Dempsey so should get at least 60 and possibly 70

DazzlerIE · 08-04-2012 4:07pm

59 for me with just RVP on the pitch

Hopefully bonii for Roon (c), Cisse and Demps

Sure he is

Jax Teller · 08-04-2012 4:17pm

Vermlaen clears a Rvp header off the line ha

carlcon · 08-04-2012 5:09pm

Just saw a replay of Balotelli's first bad tackle. Easily could have been a straight red. Ref didn't give him a card, which means it could potentially be up for review. And since he's already been suspended twice this season, that'll be a 5 match ban, should they act on it... rendering him out for the rest of the season.

Will be interesting to see what happens. That could make Tevez a more viable option.

DazzlerIE · 08-04-2012 5:15pm

Hope they throw the book at him

He's a complete scumbag

Completely agree. Never bought into the whole "character" some people have made him into. He's a stroppy thug.

And on the complete opposite side of the fence, RVP hits the post with a header.

carlcon · 08-04-2012 5:31pm

Koscielny just got his 10th yellow of the season, meaning he misses the next 2 games.

I was looking at the possibility of getting an Arsenal defender in. More to think about.

RVP goal offside.

carlcon · 08-04-2012 5:36pm

Now Walcott hits the post! Jesus!

Jax Teller · 08-04-2012 5:37pm

Vermaelen misses a sitter

carlcon · 08-04-2012 5:46pm

Aguero off for Tevez with 10 to go.

Walcott off for The Ox with 5mins to go.

carlcon · 08-04-2012 5:47pm

Arteta goal!

No assist.

carlcon · 08-04-2012 5:50pm

Balotelli off! Jesus, what a game this turned out to be.

Jimmy Iovine · 08-04-2012 5:56pm

Walcott should have finished that chance off. RVP should have had two goals. Don't really care about losing Lescotts clean sheet. Delighted to see them losing.

Jesus Ramsey is ****e. Play the thing to RVP. Wide open

Sideshow Mark · 08-04-2012 5:57pm

Ramsey obviously doesn't have RVP in his fantasy team

Jax Teller · 08-04-2012 5:58pm

Ended up with 50 points plus bonuses .

Who's everyone captaining for Gw33?

Mr. Guappa · 08-04-2012 6:01pm

53 points pre-bonus.

A.Cole to Vermaelen worked out fine.
Young to Valencia didn't pay off but it was the right move long-term.
Didn't pull the trigger on Dempsey to Walcott which paid off in spades.

Pity about Krul, Simpson and Kelly warming the bench.

manual_man · 08-04-2012 6:10pm

had a feeling that would be a low scoring affair ff points wise

52 pre boni should be enough for a green arrow (I hope)

city should have relegated Balotelli to the reserves long ago. what a tool!

SpaceCowb0y · 08-04-2012 6:11pm

Poxy week! My big names and tactics didnt pay off! RVP still on bad form yet cant bring myself to ship him out!(especially with Wolves next week!). Should have stuck with Rooney for the armband over Val that didnt get me anywhere, Sigurdsson didnt produce this week unfortunately(Although he was close! No points for effort tho:o)

Thankfully brought Cisse in who bumped me up a bit! 46 pre BP for the wk! Back down to 4th it is for me now! Balls...

Banking on my main rival at the moment not planning ahead for the GW 36 epic and making up serious ground on the top spots! Cant see myself winning the thing now though to be fair!
