    Xavi, how does Dunne's red card affect your Fair Play ranking? Still in place for a Uefa Cup spot?

    Most people reckon Fulham are too far behind for one red card to matter. I'm not 100% sure though.

    2-0 Boro : Alves

    Afonso Alves likes scoring against Manchester, he's got one against City now.

    Scholes is a very very very lucky boy there. Should have gotten his second yellow card there

    What are we saying here? No peno for Rio handball, no second yellow for Scholes, a peno given to Man Utd. Sounds like the ref is earning his money today.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,077 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6


    A nice send off for Sven

    You'd be hard pushed to say that the ref isn't having a very positive influence on the game in Uniteds favour.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,148 ✭✭✭✭Raskolnikov


    Watching Reading, if Doyle was playing instead of Lita, they'd be 3-0 up by now. Also, can't see why Hunt is so highly rated.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,745 ✭✭✭✭Villain


    United imo deserve to win the league but not by Bennett giving them a 50-50 penalty denying a blatent hand ball for a wigan Peno and then failing to send Scholes off for 100% second yellow.

    Utd deserve to win the League but not this way, Bennett has ruined the last day

    Sorry whats that about Ronaldo not being able to perform in big games?!?!?!?!

    :D are you serious? A peno against wigan in a handy game is hardly a big game *
    With the ref on your team no less.




    * this has nothing to do with any other games he's played and I've never said he doesnt perform in big games as far as I remember. Just to avoid any flame wars.

    I dont think City are in much danger of losing it to another pl team are they? The league could lose the place if a rake of red and yellows are dished out though afaik.


  • Moderators, Regional South East Moderators Posts: 9,137 Mod ✭✭✭✭Aquos76


    Wigan should have been awarded a pen, Rooney's was a pen and Scholes should be off. The ref is really to involved in this first half.

    no surprise, Bennett loves to be bigger than any game he's involved with

    No the league has secured the place as of May 1. Games after that only count for deciding who gets the place.

    1559: And another rumour... the medical team at Stamford Bridge reckon John Terry may have broken his arm, which is heartbreaking news for the Chelsea skipper with the Champions League final coming up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,227 ✭✭✭✭Guy:Incognito


    WTF with delaying the start of the 2nd half of the Utd game to catch up with the Chelsea game? Are they taking the absolute piss or what?

    Biggest game and moment of the season so far. A peno that could give your team the TITLE calling it anything else just come across as just sour grapes
    but if you are fan that has never seen their own team in the title picture this late in the season or on the last day I forgive you :D:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,658 ✭✭✭✭Peyton Manning


    Xavi, apparently the points now read as follows in the Fair Play league:
    "City 298.8 Points
    Fulham 297.8

    Dunne being sent off will put Fulham above City

    As long as Fulham get no cards which so far they havn't they will most likely qualify for Europe instead, So we could see 2 Championship teams in the UEFA Cup next season!

    Other factors do come into consideration i.e. respect towards oponents, respect towards ref's, behaviour of officials and positive play but I think the cards today will swing it"

    BLah blah blah. big it up all you like. It was a free shot from 12 yards with just a keeper in a game against wigan. Anyone should be able to slot that crap home.
