Honestly it was pathetic. He was trawling through the footage in slow motion and using the fact that Torres wasn't on the floor immediately after the foul as an indication that he'd dived. As if physics in general work that way. The gist of his, and the Everton fan's argument, was that because the contact didn't absolutely dictate that he should be on the deck, he wasn't entitled to go down anyway. Which is absolute, certifiable bollocks. I'd wager 80%* of fouls in the premier league consist of players hitting the ground despite the contact not forcing them to.
It's also not diving. It's clever forward play to bait the defenders into conceding goal scoring oppurtunities and commiting fouls. Evans was exceptionally clumsy in the challenge and, for once, Torres had the better of him. Not Torres' biggest fan as most know, but he was hard done to in this very instance. Could've been sent off elsewhere, but that's an entirely seperate argument.

Probably the Olympics peeps. I thought J.P. Delacamera was good.
would love the guy that does red bull games but he's working for beIN sport
The goal was disallowed because (supposedly) Suarez's front teeth are offside.

Oh, so lots of conrtoversial offside calls yesterday which spurned a debate about goalline tech being implemented for offside calls as well.
The picture you used made it looked like Suarez karate kicked Howard in the dome which would have been way more interesting.
EDIT: Did Wilbury get banned AGAIN?!

I saw KoH in the theater and thought it was decent at best. Admittedly, I remember being very tired and almost fell asleep a couple of times, which is why I decided to give the movie a second chance. Bought the director's cut on blu-ray and ... I enjoyed it more than I perhaps should have. It's not a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination, but the DC is miles better than the original. And yeah, it won't be remembered for the superb action sequences.
Something I hope to be true of Prometheus' director's cut as well.
He popped his knee in like the first week of the season, seems about right.
I think he needs a couple of games to get back into form. Didn't he have a bad injury in the first game?
Tevez needs to start every game for City.
Yeah, I dodge everything that has to do with TV till I've seen it all
Has Messi been around guys? Or is he for real?
Mumei almost banned EVERYBODY (but just Wilbury)
Chelsea fans booing Rio tops it.
I know Aguero was injured at the start of the season so a slow recovery is to be expected. But City have three other strikers who are talented in their own right.
They should be starting them and letting Aguero have 30 mins in the second half to ease himself back into fitness. Right now Aguero isn't doing an awful lot of good.

The mic picked up some geezer in the crowd talking* about fucking up the arse, about mid-way through the second half.
*Well, shouting. I presume it was directed at Clattenburg.
I kept hearing some little kid screaming stuff. At least I think the mics were picking up the same one over and over.
It's the build-up for christmas. I also have a Lotso with santa hat.

Well, for anyone to claim to know the reasons for sure is a non-starter. But speculate away.
There are ways.
So Guidetti went and watched Feyenoord play. He got one hell of a reception, mental considering he was only on loan.

Not when your Bodog account and Paypal account have been suspended ><
I'm around
Yeah, it's crazy. I've never seen anything like it for a player that only played one season for a club (on loan).
Haha, that's cool. For a moment I tought you were really taking a brake from Footey Gaf.
I was
Any more information on the Clattenburg stuff?
I don't remember seeing any Chelsea players particularly incensed during the game (beyond the reactions to having two players sent off). I would have thought they would have been freaking-out if a referee said something that offensive.

True enough.
Still the silliest thing of the weekend though.
Other than us picking up 3 points, away from home, and with a clean sheet in the same fixture. Which was ridiculous.
I know! it's wild.

Just send all your winnings to me and I will gladly forward them.
Also fucking lol at the red nosed cunt trying to justify the refs mistakes, "we deserved out luck with the refs this time blah blah blah, we had decisions against us here before". God, I hate him.

Think that was directed at Giggs as he shouted something about taking someone's wife up the arse, which I believe was one of Giggs favourite past times with his brothers wife.
You can check out any time you like,
But you can never leave.

Especially considering they've also been favored by the refs the last two times they played at SB, with a penalty not given for Chelsea late on in the Cl tie in 2010/2011 and the two soft penalties last season.
But no, they never get decisions.

A friend in college tried to play fast and loose with Bodog. And paypal cares about international law.
Still can't believe Giggs reputation has remained relatively intact after that revelation. Makes JT seem like a saint regarding the Wayne bridge affair.
Don't forget JT parked in the disabled parking spot. He also jaywalked and committed internet piracy before.
