You want us to have players like Terry and Suarez in our team? John Terry? Stay classy now...
I'm not debating football with someone who is borderline special needs.
Take the hint and fuck the fuck off.
Why was his red card a disgrace, mate?
Last man and preventing a clear goal-scoring opportunity - rules are clear
Not if it fused together their worst bits. Then you'd have a complete passenger in midfield who is shit at scoring goals.
Or Mezut Ozil as he's more commonly known.
The last man nearly stops dead making a collision inevitable and laughs his head off all the way to the penalty spot. That's not cricket
What?
We should have sold Dembele and Paulinho in the summer and signed Alex Song.
You are just an abusive oaf!
He barely touches him. For me there just wasn't enough in it to justify a penalty and a red. I don't even think it was a foul because the player was obviously looking to for it.
actually that's not true, I go out of my way not to resort to insulting people.
It's not that I lack the ability to express myself without resorting to insults - its just that I have so little regard for anything that posters the like of you say, I just don't want to.
You made the discussion become personal, when there was no need to do so, so you shouldn't bitch when you get mugged off as a response.
The fact that legoboy agrees with you, pretty much defines you.
The sad thing for me is that the situation being discussed now gets defended with comments like "he should know that the guy is looking for the foul" or 'he should have been smarter than that" Which is nothing more than a complicit acceptance that the attacker is simply going to cheat to try to win something they don't deserve. The guy was losing control and fell over at the slightest touch.
Its an acceptance of the mindset that refs are so gullible they will simply give a pen and possibly a red card, which shows that something fundamental is wrong in the game.
That said, I think that it would have been given elsewhere on the field, so its a penalty. The red card was unnecessary IMV, but if the ref thinks it was a deliberate foul to prevent a goalscoring opportunity he has to give it - personally I think it was just a clumsy challenge.
The guy who put a superb tackle in on Townsend must be fuming, he got the ball with one foot and Townsend went down because the ball stopped and he tripped over it. A piss poor decision which Fazio probably paid for.
The penalty was hip to hip, it was perfectly legal. Hardly a forearm in the back was it.
People (especially pundits) conveniently forget that it's a contact sport. As soon as anyone gets in the box they seem to change the rules to say any contact gives the attacker the right to go down.
It's not a fucking tickling contest, it's a contact sport and what Fazio did was 100% legal.

God, I've missed you.
It was a very very soft Pen but (and i don't agree) a ref will 9/10 time give the pen. Its fucking stupid but thats the way it is. IF it had been against us we would have screamed penalty
I'm not 100% sure, but isn't the definition shoulder to shoulder is acceptable?
I agree with what you're saying though, yes its a contact sport and two players running side by side should be given the opportunity to outmuscle each other off the ball, Fazio was being outpaced though and caught the guy as he was making a bollocks of bringing the ball under control, a slide tackle would have been a safer bet from the angle he went at him, as opposed to physical means from slightly behind him.
My only acceptance is that I believe it would have given as a foul anywhere else on the pitch as well.
The ref ignored the Davis penalty appeal in the first half which is just as controversial as the other decisions. - if deemed to be a foul a pen, if deemed to be diving a yellow card for Davis. Neither just played on?
I felt Fazio was very unlucky to be red carded and to get the foul awarded against him, it was harsh. How a ref sees it is down to the individual and on this occasion red card.

It wasn't shoulder to shoulder - more like elbow to back
100% penalty - 100% correct decision
