Steve K Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 But what is sporting? Was a Birmingham player going down with 30 seconds to go and their goalie kicking it out sporting? They knew that that wasted some time and by the time Yeovil would 'automatically' give the ball back time would be up therefore denying Yeovil any chance of equalising. The trainer didn't even come on. The ball was kicked out and he got straight up. I thought the rules now were you played to the refs whistle and he decides if the injury warrants stopping the game. Yeovil could just as easily cry foul. I thought it was a good opportunity to let the Birmingham goalie score though! Gareth I think you've hit the nail on the head. Much is made of the sportingness (is that a word - it is now!) of the situation where one team kicks the ball out for an injury, and then the other team gives it back to them, but most of the time, it's nonsense, as you say. The player in question is rarely, if ever, seriously injured, and the lack of sportsmanship in the rest of the game makes a mockery of the concept, in any case. Teams should go back to playing to the whistle, unless it's clearly a very serious injury which the referee has somehow failed to spot. Further to that, the players who roll and writhe to bring about such situations should be booked for simulation, as in the case of Birmingham, above. Anyway, as to this weekend's Premier League, wasn't it rubbish? Where are all the goals? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Claude_Dreyfus Posted September 2, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 2, 2013 Sounds like Arsenal are hitting the transfer market big time now. Ozil from Real for £42 million, the possibility of Ba from Chelsea, plus a couple of others. I suspect there will be some interesting moves before the end of the day...

BOARD OF TRADE Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Nice to see that Moyes looks like taking Man Utd.to the same level as Everton,....mid table mediocrity and if his team selection and tactics for the Liverpool game are anything to go by he's swapped "Dogs of War" for "A Dog's Breakfast".

RMweb Premium Claude_Dreyfus Posted September 2, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 2, 2013 I didn't think it was that bad... This will be a big season of change for Man Utd, and I know it is a cliche, but Moyes really does have one of the hardest jobs in football. I have argued over the last few seasons that as a team they are much greater than the sum of their parts; certainly they do not have the best collection of individuals in the league. Ferguson's trick was to make then function exceptionally as a unit, and that will take Moyes some time to emulate. I foresee pretty much a repeat of the 2011/12 season, where they 'only' won the Community Shield. But I will be surpised if they were not there or thereabouts at the business-end of the season.

RMweb Gold colin penfold Posted September 6, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 6, 2013 Just watched the England game. Interesting that Lampard and Gerrard are playing very well together in the same team lately. Wonder whether it's the changing roles they are playing these days, for club and country or that Woy is a highly skilled technical coach. Or perhaps the whole "you cant play Lampard and Gerrard in the same team" thing was bollards all along?????? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold colin penfold Posted September 10, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 10, 2013 Another england game survived. Man of the match for me was Gary Cahill. Liked their right back, Fedexski. Glad he didnt deliver! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve K Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I can think of a few championship teams who would beat England. Well, I think it's a given that top-flight club football is almost always of a higher standard than internationals, since the players don't play together enough. If England actually played in the Championship (or even the Prem)for a season, you'd expect them to do very well... eventually! I agree with Colin that Cahill was the only one who came away with much credit, and even that was mainly because of the last-ditch clearances he was so often forced to make.
