Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

To me the FA and Premier League have a duty to ALL football fans that no matter who you are there has to come a point where they say enough is enough.

The clubs don't give a damn and we have seen that, but from grass levels to top flight, you cannot have one rule for one and not another.

Many years ago we didn't have racism in football, but now it is rife and has to be stopped, we have cheats in football, but the authorities must make a stand, when l was a referee we were told to clamp down on this behaviour, but you do and the authorities let it go, thats why l packed the game in.

CARLING CUP

Carlisle 0 Spurs 0 30 minutes gone, cannot believe this score, cannot understand the format that AVB has gone for, l thought that AVB wanted to win cups, I will wake up in a minute.


No disrespect to Carlisle, but the 'powerful' side of Spurs should be wiping the floor of Carlisle.

One eye now open - Vertoghen for Spurs.

Ah more farcical refereeing again tonight. Mulumbu gets off scot free with a potentially career ending tackle on Jordan Henderson, Andre Wisdom is booked for winning the ball and Yesil gets the back of his legs hacked in the box but doesn't go down.... oh sorry forgot the undocumented FA directive that states you have to dive theatrically to get a decision.

About time that shower who are supposed to be in charge were forced to take eye tests. Seen better refereeing at the park on Sunday morning.

l know l am fed up with this inconsistent refereeing.:td::(

at least someone has the balls to call out this crap.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

I think many called that crap out last season.

Arsenal scored a fair few decent goals last night :) Girouds off the mark but the peno miss was a killer :(

Terry banned for four games. Fined £220,000.

Seems a bit lenient to me when compared to Suarez

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Yep it will be interesting to see why the FA only banned him for 4 games. The way I see it Suarez was banned for using racist language, the context was irrelevant. Terry was brought before the FA for using racist language, again regardless of the context. I think he should have been banned for 8 games too. This inconsistency will not give much credibility to the FA.

Oh and I support Chelsea.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

I think Suarez was deemed to have repeated the word more than once wasn't he? As well as changing his story multiple times.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

yes, i think it was for multiple usage and intent

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Yep the thought crossed my mind. It was the frequency of it. However he never ever denied using the language did he, just said it was not in a racist content.

Would you not say in Terry's case it's worse. He should know taht those words are not acceptable on the pitch - in whatever context he used them? Was he England captain at the time?

Rough figures..

Arsenal annouce 37mil pre tax profits

155mil sitting in the bank which excludes this summers player sales and land/property sale earlier on... adding that takes it to 200+mil.

Operating costs alone put club into loss. player sales put it into plus.

Wages up 20mil giving a grand total of 144mil per year which is 10mil less than Utd spent.

Commerical is still slacking. 5/6mil add on. Main sponsorship renewals due in 2014. There are if I'm not wrong a couple other sponsorships up for renewal in 2013.

Perhaps he has been getting tips from SAF.;)
